    I don't allow myself excuses and just tell myself to do it plain and simple!

    I think of this quote:

    "You won't regret exercising, but you WILL regret not exercising."

    Whatever you feel like not doing the most, do it first.

    That thought works for me. :)

    My husband and child are the ones that keep me going. When I call and tell them I'm coming home, they immediately say no go to the gym. Get a buddy to push you.

    I used to hate working out until I found Turbo Jam. You just need to find something you like so it wouldn't seem like a chore. There are days when I would rather sit on my couch and watch my favorite soap. But I know the longer I put off my workout the easier it gets to keep putting it off.

    I made a bet with myself. For every day I work out for at least 45 minutes, I put a dollar in a jar on my dresser. At the end of the year, if I have $100 I can spend it on whatever I want (probably shopping or a massage) if I don't have a hundred dollars, the money stays in the jar and the bet starts over.

    This is really motivating for me because I'm close to my weight goal, but I need to work out to achieve the look I want.

    Just think of how far you'll come and how good you'll feel after the work out. I never feel like getting exercise, but once I push myself to do it, it really feels amazing. When you get to the point where you really don't want to, think of your goals. Think of the exercising as one step closer to your goal.

    You can do it. (:
