what motivates you?

i dont know about you guys - but i def have several conversations with myself daily. the one that most often starts the day is the discussion on whether or not to get out of bed and get my ass to the gym. usually goes something like this. 

me: "dont be a lazy ass. you are already up. you might as well go to the gym"

self: "but i can go tonight after work and sleep for two more hours"

me: "what are the chances you will REALLY workout after work? REALLY?"

self: "okay ill check instagram, twitter and pintrest to try and wake up"

me "good god you really are lazy"

 -- end scene --

ive gotten better now to where i will work out either in the am or pm - as long as i get it in im good. but i know that going in the morning is A MILLION times better than at night. thats just for me - it works better if i go in the am and get it the HELL out of the way. 

the other thing about working out in the morning is that you are well aware of the amount of calories you can consume. now if you wait until after dinner its like you HAVE to work off a certain amount to break even. 

i work better if i know - okay breakfast: check. lunch: check: dinner: check beer: AWESOME! i have enough calories left for a beer. and not just any beer peeps. the kind i like are usually 150-200 cal beers. i know i know its bad. but if i liked shitty beer i could drink the 50-90 cal crap. but thats just it - ITS CRAP. 

this brings me to my point: BEER this is what motivates me. this is what gets my ass to the gym and doing lunges. beer. 

done and done. you wave one of those in my face and im sold. thats all the motivation i need. 

the more i burn - the more beer i can have!

sa-weet!

these are what i see at the end of my finish line. both from my favorite brewing co. (sky brewing) and both deliciously wonderful IPAs. aaaaaah now i want one! haha :) 

what motivates you to get off your ass?
