Motivation... I need it! Any ideas...



Recommended Posts

Hi all! I'm doing much better with my exercise "routine" as of now. I am MAKING myself go to the gym at least 3 days a week. I do 30-60 minutes on the eliptical, and I have taken on some weight training. That seems to be helping, and burns off a lot of stress. :thumbup: Hope all are doing great!

I suggest finding a Fitness Bootcamp for 30 days. You pay... so that's motivation in itself. Secondly it's accountability and will give you the boost and jump start you need!

I use music as my motivator. We're all so busy these days, that there's rarely time to just stop and enjoy our favorite tunes. So every day I take 45 minutes to walk 2.5 miles and listen to my music nice and loud on headphones, then I work through lunch to make up the time. I look forward to it (most days) and it really helps me get off my butt. And it charges me up for the rest of the day. Once you do it for three days in a row, it gets much easier to keep it going. Good luck!

I purchased a good quality exercise bike and have it in front of my big screen. I like to binge watch series on Netflix, so getting up to see the next episode of whatever I'm addicted to that week is helpful.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
