That alone motivates me for years upon years, changing, deleting, and refining the goals in till I reach the ultimiate goal. So motivation comes and goes - but its what that inside that stays.

Use your name in front of each reason. The reasons will slowly become part of your subconscious.

So (for me) what I listen to during my workout is just as important as what I do during my workout. These are some of my personal favorite motivational tunes. Granted, many of them are biased toward the feminine side, but after listening to them, I can deal with anything and anybody!: 1) I'm Going All the Way - Sounds of Blackness 2) Strength, Courage & Wisdom - India Arie 3) Most Beautiful Girl in the World - Alex Bugnon 4) I Believe - Sounds of Blackness 5) Lovely Day - Bill Withers 6) Manana [Tomorrow]-Aterciopelados 7) Video - India Arie 8) J'attendrai [I Will Wait]-Melgroove 9) Everyday (featuring Michael McDonald)-Darwin Hobbs 10) Black Butterfly - Sounds of Blackness And finally on those days when my mind wants to go crazy and tell me that I'm "fat" I just remind myself of who I really am with: 11) She's A Bad Mama Jama-Carl Carlton LOL!

They say it is not only healthy, but they aren't as hungry when the dinner bell rings. Oscar, true! a workout buddy is a good motivator because you can get and give motivation. :)

Mostly because I want to get out of the office and away from those tech support calls. Now I just need to control my dinner portion sizes and snacking at night.

It's always nice to have someone to talk to during work out. When I’m low on motivation, i look for someone who can work out with me. It’s always nice to have someone to talk to during work out.
