Thanks guys for the encouraging words!
A couple things, only recently, as in the past month, have I been looking at lifting weights differently. On Reddit I saw a post along the lines of
Instead of saying to yourself 'I have to workout today' say to yourself 'I'm going to get stronger today'
I like that and have been using that. I guess that can apply to the subliminals and anything else in life. Also, I did watch that video. It's good, it did motivate me. (Was that Denzel Washington narrating most of it?) However, also from Reddit, there is a sub-reddit about discipline - /r/getdisciplined
I have been reading through that and it really really resonates with me. Motivation doesn't last, but discipline can be summoned at any time, especially when motivation is gone. I like that, and I wish AM6 would instill some more discipline in me. Maybe it is, I sure hope so. I have all these goals that I'd like to accomplish, but I just don't have the drive to get out there and make the sacrifices (which really, the only sacrifice I'd have to make is less video game time) to achieve what I want.
With all that said, today has been the most productive day I've had for the past two weeks. I went to class, accomplished some things at work, lifted weights, stuck to my meal plan today, didn't buy Taco Bell, and did some homework. If I kept this up everyday, well then I'd reach my goals.
