Motivation to exercise

Depends on your job. You don't want to be all sweaty before going into an office, right?

 

I have written over a hundred pages of a book entitled "You're Fat. It's Your Fault" that I would be happy to send you an advanced, incomplete version of. It's funny and works.

Nothing will motivate you more than...ah screw it...i just don't have the motivation to finish this post.

 

I hired Survivor to run and sing behind me last night while I ran.
" Mo!.......Mo!Mo!Mo!........ "

I actually went running and did 200 crunches....this is good for my fata$$.

 

I thought it was hilarious. So funny that I'm going to try it out.

 

I am similar to this. My story......

My clothes started feeling tight on me and I didnt like that feeling. Additionally some things at my work place really started to piss me off so I channelled those irritations to my workouts.

I got a treadmill handed down to me from my parents and started using that a couple of times week after work. Plus I cut out sugar sodas and drank mostly water every day and cut down on portion size during meals. That worked pretty good. I found just doing a good 'power walk' on the treadmill for 40mins or so while I watched SportsCenter or whatever really seemed to work. I did this 3 times a week.

But what REALLY and I mean REALLY did the trick was when I switched my workout routine from after work to BEFORE work in the morning. I did the treadmill 5 days a week before work and then got some free weights and did that a few times a week for upperbody workout after work. Plus I started havivng breakfast, something I didnt used to do. I usually had one of those Yogurt drinks. High protien, low fat and only around 290 calories. It filled me up.

What I found was doing the treadmill + having breakfast REALLY started up my metabolism each day. I started my 'internal fat burning' engine at 7am instead of around lunch or after work.

Let me tell you, that makes a BIG difference! The morning workouts were MUCH more productive than the after work workouts.

I am about 6'2' and initially weighed about 230. I am now down to 195 and am MUCH more fit! The afternoon workouts got me from 230 to about 220 to 215 and then I plataued. Doing the morning workouts broke me through and got me down to 195.

I dont actually do as much treadmill now as during that time (couple times a week) but my weight has stayed off because I CHANGED my body's metabolism which allows me to burn off more calories even when I am not working all because of my initial morning routine.

I still pretty much eat what I want, I just watch it. I watch my portion size at meals and drink water during the day. But I never deprive myself.
