To be honest i always went to the gym on and off. Since i was 16ish i always wanted that 6 pack toned body build. I just always came up with excuses to why not go to. I forgot my headphones, its too cold out, 6PM is too busy. And as i got older it became harder with work and school and that every day grind that keeps everyone from spending an hour or two a day to better them self. So to get to why i started this time around and decided to stick with it. The last 3 years i kept saying im getting a 6 pack for my bday. I'm doing it there is no question, and every year i failed, and when my bday passed i gave up till spring and it became so much harder to fight off that fat. So finally this year my girlfriend said shes taking me on vacation for my bday. So i told myself that if i dont get in shape now it will never happen. 270 days till vacation. That is how long i have, and with every day slipping by, i know that i have to work out today to be happy with myself tomorrow.
It really comes down to how i feel about myself the next day. I used to Dj and spend 4-5 nights out till 3 Am. And that is a great time but after years of hang overs and random nights out i have a better time waking up at 6am (well 6:45 after i snooze my phones several times) running over to the gym and getting a sweat in before work. There is no better feeling then looking in the mirror and seeing your self change every week. I tell myself i cant buy a Porsche (just yet) but i can make my body look like one. And some fat rich dude cant buy what i worked my ass off for.
