    you plan it into your day just like anything else. Barring some crazy stuff going on or illness or whatever, I lift on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday regardless of whether I "feel like it" or not. I'ts part of my schedule just like going to work or anything else. Stop thinking of it as some kind of "extra" thing...

    I often don't feel like going to work or mowing the lawn or doing the dishes...yet I do these things anyway...because they need doing.

    Yep. This. Except Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I get home from work, DON'T sit down, change into gym clothes and head to the gym. If I sit down...it's game over. A lot of times I just tell myself to do 10 minutes and if I still want to leave, then I can leave. But by the time I get to the gym and start working, I feel better and never leave after just 10 minutes.

    This is why I go straight from work. I get the bus to and from work and I take all my gym clothes with me so if I've been humping that lot around all day I'm going to the gym before home whether I feel like it or not. On days I'm not totally feeling up for it, I find that by the time I've done my warmup, I'm more in the mood. If I was to go home first, that's me done for the day, and then I feel guilty.
