Tracking, monitoring and planning for results is a big motivator. making plans, reading articles, reading research, exchanging information about health and fitness is my hobbie; so i love it - not hard to stay motivated. My girlfriend who started working out after we met keeps me even more motivated to help her, work along side her, and have fun in life.

Cooking makes it easy too; i love cuisine, the nuances behind cooking, food, flavor mixing. Everything. I'm proud i have an extensive knowledge on food, and how to cook so it's enjoyable for me, my love, and my health.

Music is a huge motivator. I love punk and metal mostly but have branched out into ska, reggae, blues/jazz and electro. i love the complexity and raw agression in punk and metal, ESPECIALLY the lyrics; without words its silent unless you're a band like russian circles, baroness who include minimal vocals, the instrumentals speak for themselves. in essence: good music, good composure, structure, class, honesty, and transparency, none of this lil wayne/nicki manaj shit.

career keeps me motivated, as a final note. i'm an environmental sciences student focusing on environmental policy and law, as well as stewardship. i think it brings me great pleasure to work towards helping our environment down the line, and especially all the shit we pour into it, someone needs to be apart of it. i didn't do exercise/nutrition related because that seems way too selfish, self-absorbed and greedy. My country is the world, my religion is to do good as thomas paine once said.
