Give Myself a reward every month I finish my work-out goal.
Not that I treat myself with savoury every weekend (I have a sweet tooth), I am very strict to my diet. This is how I did, at the beginning of every month, I bought myself a beautiful dress but always a bit smaller than my waist at that moment. If I focus on healthy eating and working-out and be able to fit in the dress eventually, the dress is mine. Otherwise my sister would have it or I have to give it away. The economy motivation always works.
Wash my hair only on days that I work out
I only allow myself to wash my hair after working out. So if I don’t for a couple days… I'll have to bear the humiliation seeing my peers. Or my hair gets too tangled from all the baby powder.
DON'T USE VISUALS
Maybe I am the odd one but I feel like using imagine of a perfect body ratio model will, in some case, cause negative effect. With photos of models as a motivation, you can become obsessed with your appearance, try your best to work out but not for the more beautiful you but to look like them, to fit with one of those beauty standards. For me, I choose to have my own previous imagine as a motivation, feeling happy with the slightly different change in my body everyday.
Be an early-bird.
It's easy, waking up early clearly prevent you being from too lazy and not having a decent amount of time to hit the gym. Even if you do not wake up early, a few push-ups won't take too long I believe.
Make work-out part of my daily routine.
I try to go to the gym everyday on the same time frame so that it can become part of my daily activities, as normal as washing my face or brushing my teeth. And now it did, magically, I am using this app Habitify, it like a habit tracking apps not only for gym but I use it mostly to ping me every time I need to do some push-ups.
Believe me, it's the best feeling in the world ending a week with a list of checked goals, proudly think bout what you have did during the days, seeing yourself in the mirror and realize trousers now need to be one size smaller. And it is free, you can just see it for yourself.
