Hey, just thought I'd share something that works for me.
I need to lose like 40 lbs, like years ago. Anyway I can never get motivated it's just so depressing.
So, I calculated how many calories to lose that weight by exercise alone it equals about 140,000 calories. 3500=lb
As soon as the snows over I'll be walking aroung the lake, so I took of 16,000 for doing that 4 times a week for two months (March and April).
I have about 125,000 left to burn. I was nice and rounded each hour at the gym to 500 calories. That means I have 250 hours to burn before I can dance or have sex for that matter (I'm just a perfectionist kind of when it comes to sex).
Anyway, I haven't missed a day at the gym yet because if I don't get out for that hour, it's still sitting there for me to do before I'll be in shape again.
Having been anorexic before counting calories is kind of not a good way for me. It feels like torture and it's not as positive as feeling like the exercise will take care of it.
I'm still watching my diet but don't have that all or nothing mentality because my gym hours would take off the weight provided I'm eating healthy.
I like to have task to complete and 250 hours of gym time in the next few months for what I've convinced myself is a guaranteed result is so much easier.
Plus watching the booty popping thread gets me pumped!
What's your motivation to work out?
