For me, once you getting going it's easy to maintain. But, then something like one vacation and you're completely off your routine.
The hard part is always getting started. I'll make up excuses like, "Ugh, I don't have the time to workout tonight" or "I'll just sleep in and feel better once I'm caught up on sleep". While the truth is exercising regularly makes me feel like there's more time in the day AND I end up having more energy to do things.
I found the three biggest things to help kickstart are:
* Friends who work out (social accountability)
* Eat really healthy and clean, not just cut back (small wins)
* Take progress pics of yourself every single day. Then move to 1 week, 1 month, etc. (self accountability).
Once I'm started, I find setting fitness goals becomes A LOT easier. Just my two cents.
And.. Now I'm motivated to work out tonight. Thank you OP.
