I laughed my ass off at people in the Navy who joined because they thought someone would change them, wanted someone to change them, and hoped someone would change them. They never realized that THEY changed. After bootcamp, they went back to being the overweight, undermotivated shitbirds they were before they signed up.
Write out a list of realistic goals - it doesn't matter if it's work-related, bodybuilding-related, relationship-related, or what. Think about how you are going to obtain your goals and write up a plan. Start out with the broad idea in mind and then get more and more specific (i.e., monthly goals, weekly goals, daily goals, etc.). Write out your daily schedule and keep it with you. Each time you do something, check it off your list. Reward yourself when you accomplish your goals. Once you get into a habit, it's easier to stick with it. Eventually, you don't need to check things off a list. It becomes second nature.
Consistency and self-discipline are the key. Good luck!!!
