    I also work 12 hr days (and 12 hr nights, alternating). Until this summer I also was attending grad school in my "free time" (I'm done...woo hoo!) I typically work out on my way home from work.

    Sure, part of me would rather come home and crash in front of the TV with a giant bowl of something tasty and fattening. I am motivated by the gradual appearance of my abs for the first time in my life. Now I'm not going to stop until I accidentally cut myself on the sharp contours of my six-pack :bigsmile:

    Ok, maybe I'll stop a little shy of that point. At any rate, that's my motivation. My wife says I've become OCD. You know what? She's probably right.

    I think setting goals is the only thing that keeps me motivated. Right now it's upping my energy level and accomplishment goals with new obession - Barre3.. I want to see how 'toned" I can get...not bulked out, toned.

    So I have set goals like if I do 30 minutes of Barre3, and increase my average daily Nike fuel credits to 3000 a day, I get to buy my new Black Suit I have been stalking on November 1. If I miss a day of Barre3, I get to to two 30 minutes sessions the next day.

    Stuff like that.
