What keeps you motivated on the bad days?

When I don't feel like exercising, I just tell myself to give it my ALL for 10 minutes and then if I still don't feel up to it I can stop. I've never had to stop. :happy:
I wish I had that kind of motivation. I'm going to the gym tonight but I don't really want to0 -
yesterday was one of those days.. i just got dressed, cursing the whole time, and told myself when i don't feel it, just do 20 minutes.. and it was hard, i wanted to quit at 7min, 10 min, 14 min, but i did finish it. and then did 3 leg weight machines.. doing that yesterday created a momentum, which made the 40 minutes on the ellipticalfor today so much BETTER!

Looking at the shape that my dad is in now. Remembering what diseases run in my family and if I do not do what I need to do, I may end up with them. People looking at me, saying discouraging things about me. How I feel from not working out, I tend to feel crappy until I do go workout.
Mostly me looking at myself in the mirror and not liking what I see and my desire to look better.0 -

What picks me back up are all the support I have from friends, especially my ex.
Other than that it's seeing all those healthy skinny girls at school looking extra cute; I need to look that good!0 -
The MIRROR!
Yes!! I am my own worst critic. I see myself in the mirror, realize that half my jeans in my closet don't fit anymore and the motivation sets in. There's always the factor of looking oh-so-much better than the ex wife of my boyfriend.. Bahahaha...0 -
my friends on MFP and getting back to feeling good!0
