Hi, I'm doing p90x and only have 2 more weeks to go. I got sick 10 days ago (still a little sick) with cold, horrible headaches, and fever I tried exercising after the fever was gone but was impossible I felt terrible. Anyway because of being sick I missed 10 days of p90x and yesterday I tried to get back and feel so weak mentally and physically. I could only do half of the push ups I could do before and had to stop in the middle of the workout because my mind was telling me to stop.
At the beginning I was so motivated that even if I couldn't do all the moves I would stick till the end and modified the moves.
How can I get my motivation back?

Sometimes you just gotta give yourself a gut check. Keep in mind why you are doing this in the first place, and realize that every time you procrastinate, you are getting further away from accomplishing your goal. Is this worth the current level of satisfaction from not taking action now?0

It's simple really. Do you want to be overweight or not? I presume you don't seeing as you are on here. Then you need to get back on it and start again. Or be overweight. It's a choice you have to make.0

For me, whenever I felt unmotivated I simply did a list of reasons why I'm doing this. Rather its weight loss, health, clothes, etc. I spend a lot of time thinking about this and it really seems to motivate me. I've lost 65lbs in the last year and for me my biggest motivation has been playing with my 5 kids and setting a good example for them and that is what I focus on when I feel unmotivated. You can do this! Feel free to add me if you'd like some motivation!0
