You create a goal & accomplish it..

[BellaVenus]

How do you find the motivation to keep going? After all, there is always room for improvement... right?

Miss Bella!

I like to think about hot females. Most ladies want to freak on a fit and healthy man. I'm already there Just gotta keep it up.

I feel healthy and great all the time. Don't want to change that feel.
If I slack off, I'll feel bloated and fat

Knowing that you don't fit the stereotype of the typical overweight, non-exercising American

What ever works for you. IMO, you're pretty so I would use your looks
Gotta keep it up..

If I were single then hot guys would help with the motivation, but my man is already content with how I look & is mainly concerned with my natural hair journey but I agree with you... I haven't worked out in a few days & I feel & I too get that bloated & fat feeling... But then when I wake up in the morning I'm miraculously fit again. What gives?

I really can work on developing my packs more... I just don't wanna look too manly though lol which is why I don't wanna over do it.

I remember back in highschool when I used to lift bytches in cheerleading & my arms became jacked. I was straight DEBO in that bytch!
Thus, I never want my arms to be like that again LOL

But anyway... I still haven't found my solution. I know that there's more that I can work on.. but since i'm happy with where I'm at I have little to no motivation

Yeah every time I reach a goal, I go throw a mild depression.

Thus why I encourage occasionally drinking, smoking(weed) and not tripping off missing a couple days in the gym.

The key is finding a: balance,equilibrium, homeostasis etc....

Create long term and short term goals.

Short terms goals consist of things, that can be accomplished within a 2-3 month time period.


Ex: losing / gaining 5 pounds.

Jogging 3x a week etc...

Then long term goals consist of totally unrealistic goals, which are worth looking up too in the grand scheme of things.

This helps fight off depression, by instilling a feeling that there's still a long to go towards reaching a state of perfection.

I talk shyt.

I have a pretty tough group of friends. Putting things out there means I have to accomplish them or I'll get my ass cut. Currently that means training for next year's 5 Borough bike tour. Everyday I skip out on biking, I imagine the utter embarrassment I'd pass if I was come tour day.

Another method is to positively envision my long term goals. I wake up every morning I know that if I do what I'm supposed to, I'm one step closer to achieving it... If I don't, then I'm one step father.

This is what keeps me going.

I set small goals like trying to reach X amount on Bench or Squats within a small time frame, but ultimately I lift for aesthetics.. And I don't think I'll ever reach a point where I'm content with my entire physique. There will always be something I'm trying to improve.

I completely understand what you mean about finding a balance but the things that you listed aren't to my liking as smoking would fukk with my stamina and alcohol has way too many calories. I say sex is the best and most natural option there is. Also you'll be losing calories without even thinking about it

 

[twan83]

when i accomplish a goal no matter what it is i always try too maintain that goal like i would try too achieve it

doing that makes me keep that consistence that i look for and also makes me feel im doing a real good job and wont go un notice.

ex: i wanted to be a dental hygienist

i became a dental tech for several yrs then finally became a hygienist.

i maintained my skills top notch too where i would get requested patients all the time too where i had to double my schedule because they enjoyed how i cleaned their teeth, explained too them the pro's and con's of good hygiene and my music i played too

Like I said, occasionally or in moderation isn't too problematic. Honestly I've learned to like getting a bit out of shape or fatiguing early in regimes, from a previous night out partying. It becomes a matter I look forward to fixing.

Almost like "planned obsolescence" in terms of body maintenance...

Plus i usually self-reflect and realize I'm taking life too "seriously" again

If I stay too fit & perfectly on task, I reach my goals way too soon, which will likely trigger a maniac stage of depression sooner; (and / or) uncertainty from not knowing what is next on the agenda to accomplish.

And I'm sure sex, is probably an active part of everyone's life already. Too much, too often, get boring despite how good it is.

I beg to differ

 

[Malta]

Maintaining is just as much of a battle as reaching the goal.

Word to Jordan and Duncan.

 

[puppetmaster]

I've always had the discipline to maintain what needs doing once I hit a new goal. Like @Serious said that post goal depression is always the hardest thing because it just looms and lingers, I always have to have my next objective laid out or at least in mind to stave off that Ill just go thru the motions for a while now feeling
