But I started watching Spartacus: Blood and Sand. Ya know what? I saw those guys and it got me all pumped! I was lucky… I found my special motivator. It can be a whole field of things. Think, when are the times you feel like you want to get up and move. When you hear dance music? After watching a romantic comdey? After doing… that other form of excercise… you know… Anyways, throughout your day keep track of your mood and make sure you start by eating healthier, otherwise you won’t have the energy to even feel like wanting to need to excercise. No, that wasn’t suposed to make since. Light your fire!

It works for me, I know you’ll find something that works too.
