Thread: Whipping Myself Into Shape

I too have found myself in a similar situation. I grew up on the farm and loved outdoors. I have always been pretty skinny but in shape. Now I moved for college and sit in a cubicle all day and then take 3 hour night classes, I have no time to make a decent meal in the day. At night I usually am starving when I get home so I grab fastfood or fix something fast. The interesting thing is I'm 6'5" and weigh 168 lbs. I've got a six pack still and eat fast food everyday. The thing I hate is how lazy I am now, I have a total lack of motivation from what I used to be. My grades in college are actually suffering too. I try and setup a plan to workout but it fails when the next week comes and I am swamped with school and other things going on. So even though I seem to be in good shape, I can tell a lot of things are out of whack lately...

I have a feeling that this unhealthy trend will catch up to me, but there's not a lot I can do to try and stop it, so I might be in your situation a few years from now... I just want to gain a little more muscle and keep it, sucks going back to the farm and just trying to keep up with your dad... lol

Good luck!

Thats kinda what I was hoping for. When its just yourself, its easy to reason away why you dont want to get up early today or why you want to cheat for a little while on what you are eating. But when you got some accountability, it changes things drastically. I for one hate it being pointed out that I was going to do something and didnt do it. I dont like breaking my word to myself or anyone. So hopefully this will do the trick and stick in my head just enough to keep me on track.

Thanks for the encouragement.
