I thoguh i was gunna go into this Full speed and never look back. Yea well lol, I think I bit off alot more than I could chew. The 6 meals a day proved to be alot harder then I had though. Sometimes I just dont have time to stop and eat a lil something. So needless to say, I gone wayward from it once or twice. My modavation is really my health, and just the way people think of a fit person overall. Mostly doing it for myself but also to look good lol. So to kinda clam it down and work up to where I need to be. Still no more cokes or fast food. But just eating at home. Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. And maybe a snack sometime in there. I figured, as long as wat I eat is healthy and stay away from Saturated fats, and I keep doing my carido w/ light weight training, i'll still see result. Sure 6 meals a day will help alot more. But that might be something I can do during the summer when I have more time. I dunno kinda been straying away from workin out and eat rgiht for a few days *slaps hands* and I was wondering wat everyone elses modavation is for getting fit and getting heathly. Post up wat your modavation is!!

P.S. Sorry didnt kno wat foroum to go in so I picked this one lol.
 
motivation is how to spell it beleive. my very first motivation was weight loss. i was pretty self concious about myself. had a very unclean, bad diet. not to say i gained weight, but was still a bad diet. now that ive been working out for a while now, its not about weight loss. i workout to stay healthy, and im really trying to fix my weak points on my body. even out my body to my liking. and i find clean foods more satisfying than a chocolate bar beleive it or not. its pretty bad that 1 chocolate bar costs 65 cents, but buy 3 and its a dollar! that fuels my diet plan also, things like that bother me when i see em.

:cool:
 
My primary motivation was that I had a terrible mountain bike race season last year and I didn't want to repeat it this year. Last season I was finishing in the last five spots every race, it was getting really old. Anyway, on 12/1/04 I figured it was time to start getting ready for this race season. I started going to the gym about 2 hours a day 5 days a week. I also started watching what I ate. That was almost 40 pounds ago.

I had my first race of the year on Sunday, I finished 6th place in sport class 18-34 year olds. All of the hard work paid off for me. Now unfortunately I have been eating terrible the past couple of days but after four months I figure I can have a couple of bad days, back to the healthy routine tomorrow.

Oh yeah, another reason I decided to get healthy was because at the end of November I was getting a stress test, EKG's and all kinds of other tests done. I figured it was time to quit tempting fate and get healthy. :)
 
My motivation comes from looking at my gut, and slipping on pants I bought a year ago that now fit too snugly.

Mine's just the opposite :) Putting on the pants I bought a year ago that now are way too big for me.

High on results!
 
I am always doing something tough. I recently ran a marathon and I needed to be very fit for this task. This Summer I plan to climb mt. Rainier... This again takes tons of fitness level.

I am also an avid rock climber, mountain biker, etc. These all take high levels of fitness.

The truth is, I need to stay fit. I am terrified of life where I can't go do what I want on a whim. So, I cannot let my fitness drop.

man i have to agree there, i'm also "terrified" of not being able to do what i what i want when i want. that definitely keeps my motivated.

it's something a lot of people dont understand in the world we live in.
 
Oops...Totally spelled that one wrong HAHA! Thats kool guys, I ahve bad news though. I am done working out for a while now. I was in my martial arts class and I was sparring and I went for a right leg Round-House kick and he ended up blocking with his elbow (vs. a Black Belt) totally on accident. Went straight down, ended up hitting a pressure point I think...went into shock and went to the er. I dudon wtf happened lol. But I tore up my Muscles and Tendons realyl bad so, Im gunna be using crutches for a while, no more running..makes me sad :( My new motivation ( see rght spelling) is now getting to where I can run at 100% again =/.

my motivation is the Girls of summer!! :)
well part of it, haha.. I have been out of shape all my life, eating crap food, and living like well most americans do. then one day I decided enough is enough. I enjoy being outdoors, and I love riding atvs and motorcycles and such and I love riding motocross and I just got tired easily and had no energy or motivation in life. I hated the beach, hated summer for that matter because the heat was just unbarable to me. So I was bored and sittin around wastin time when my friend called and said hey im goin to Burger King, wanna go for a ride. And I was like.... ehhh I think I'll pass this time. and I went downstairs and hit the weight bench instead. then the next morning soreness kinda felt nice, so I did it again and again turning it into an addiction. pretty soon I set myself with some goals, and reached them making me feel very good about myself. then an old friend stopped by a few months later and gave me a comment on how good I was looking and asked if I had been working out, then alot of family and just random friends started mentioning little things here and there. and I think its each one of these little comments that keep me going. I actually got out on my dirtbike for the first time this year this week because the weather finally broke and I rode for about 5 hours straight and I wasnt tired at all, while my two friends were ready to pass out from exhaustion. Its just a good feeling to be in shape. makes alot of things in life just easier.

Oh yeah, and the Girls of summer.. hehe

Yeah, I don't know. But isn't the question why aren't you doing it for the homeless? Man, you're selfish.

In that case I am doing it for all of those on welfare. Afterall, if I get sick or hurt I can't work. If I can't work I'm not paying taxes. If I'm not paying taxes I wouldn't be paying for all of those people on welfare to eat their steaks and smoke their cigarrettes. Just remember, you must work, millions on welfare are depending on you.

Sorry for that, I live in WV and the number of people on welfare would amaze you, most of them are more than capable of going out and getting a JOB!!!!
