Motivation

[rummyjoe]

Now that I am getting into body building I am running into a few problems...
I feel very guilty when I miss a workout or when I eat a meal that does not fit my diet (or worse if I completely skip the meal)

The problem I have is when my buddies call me up to do something when I have scheduled a workout or if we are out and we all stop to eat at a fast food restaurant.

I could start working out early in the morning but I find it hard to get a good workout when I am still half asleep... because I was out all night drinking (another problem)

I want to be able to stick to a strict diet, but I don't always have access to the proper food.

I'd like to hear some ideas on how other people have overcome these obstacles. Thanks for the help

just know your priorities.

set goals and make sure they are not too high and not too low... then action to make them happen

example : gain 10 lbs in three months from a good solid diet

ok heres what i done...i had a long time drinking and drug problem ...people in general drink and take drugs to make themselves feel better and to feel more sociably accepted , when i realised i didnt want the fake courage that came from drugs and drinking and wanted my own self esteem i decided to pick up a weight ...i done that 2 years ago and i havnt touched a drug in two years , i only drink probably 4 times a year now and i have gained the confidence from weight training and the commitment to stick to something other than getting smashed and waking up in the morning saying ( Geeeeeez i wish i didnt have to go the gym) i actually embrace the idea of training now , i love it ...as you prob know after a good train your body releases natural endorphines that make you feel good , i know you cant train on a fri night while your mates are going out drinking and rooting girls but you really have to sit back now and think what do you want in 5 years from now ?? a ****** body and a healthy mind or .....you know the rest ...peace
