Hey y'all...is it pathetic that I am asking for motivation?

I started school three weeks ago, and am just so swamped. I work full time (generally overtime) and am 3/4 time student (4 classes). I can start off doing great on Monday, Tuesday, and maybe into Wednesday...but, by Thursday and I am ready to indulge. The stress just gets to me.

I have a paper for Art Appreciation due on Thursday...and I am totally stumped. (off subject)

I just need a new found motivation!?!

Help...?

    For working out, do you have someone that you can work out with? For me, every Monday and Wednesday morning is my running day, and I have to be at the gym at 0630, which is earlier than my normal time. But just knowing that I have to meet someone and I wouldn't want them to wait on me, pushes me to be there on time. Maybe having someone that can push you and in return you push them, might help you on the days that you are not feeling it.

    After reading your post, you and I are in the same situation, but luckily, I was able to get into the habit of working out regularly before classes started back up. Now I am just trying to maintain the schedule. So far so good. I do slack on the weekend with working out, but my good eating habits are still there, so I don't think I over indulge too much.

    I have a hard time with motivating myself too. Last year I started watching the biggest loser, I know it does take time away from other things (I just graduated from collage myself so I know how that goes), but I think it is worth it. I see these people working out and they all start out bigger than me and many end smaller than me. I think to myself if they can do it so can I. Many nights I'll watch it and walk and/or run in place while I'm watching it, right there in the middle of the living room.
