Do you keep yourself in shape? What motivates you?

[jammasterjay]

Do you work out and watch what you eat to stay in shape?

I got a few injuries in a row a few months back, so I'm out of action. I've been watching the decline of my body, but I'm actually happier than I was before. I eat and do what I want.

I'm kinda worried won't get the psyche back to get off my fat ass and do some exercise again!

[soccerchick4eva]

yeah i always try too, um what motivates me is that i know i would absolutely hate an unhealthy me ahah :)
ahh i know them feels when you're injured and you just eat non stop haha , tbh its not that hard to get back into shape, last time when i was injured i got stuck back into working out cause i actually missed it hahha :D

[SillyQuirks_]

I work out more than I watch what I eat and living in Florida by the beach is what motivates me.

[jammasterjay]

I'd feel positively obliged to keep in shape if I lived by the beach in Florida! I think people lack the inspiration over here, grey weather seems to seep into your demeanor!

[SillyQuirks_]

I was that way when I lived in New York. So I totally understand that. Then their inspiration should be to look good naked! Yay haha.

[jammasterjay]

haha lol. yeah this is true, that hasn't been on the horizon for a little while but you never know I spose. There's a thing called Sod's law here in Blighty: stay in really good shape for a long enough time to get a bit bummed out with all the hard work and you will be as single as a Bhudist Monk. But get all flabby and out of shape and you'll meet the girl of your dreams! lol

[SillyQuirks_]

I hope that isn't either of our luck lol. Geeze

[jammasterjay]

me too, but I see these things as comedy rather than tragedy these days. so, lol

[crazyincalifornia]

I like Florida. Been there lots.
Like Cali better though.

[SillyQuirks_]

@Crazyincalifornia I like Cali better too. The palms are better and you all have rolling hills/mountain/cliffs that are just perfect.

[MarkyyG123]

Looking the mirror and seeing what I have now and thinking about the possibilities if I start to neglect my body

[BertMacklinFBI]

yeah I just workout to be healthy and eat healthy. the results are a total bonus.

[creativeusername101]

I'm naturally skinny without trying. would actually like a few more pounds but eating more makes no difference.

for about a week last month I worked out everyday to try and tone abit. now I actually sleep with two small weights to try and motivate myself to do more. hasn't worked. lol

[mr90skid]

Yeah I stay in shape, I take pride in my psyche. Working out feels good and I like pushing myself to new limits. I feel like i'm the shit when I shower and rest after a good workout. The health benefits are cool bonuses.

[jammasterjay]

That time after a workout and shower is awesome- natural high man! Have you ever had to lay off due to injury, if so how did you handle it?

[mr90skid]

Yeah I almost snapped my ankle in half.. or at least it felt like that. I jumped off that rope that you climb at the part and most of my weight came down on my left side so it felt like it bent then sprang back upright. I just stayed in my room and did crunches and jumped roped on my good foot lol.

[jammasterjay]

lol, that's commitment!

[mr90skid]

lol thanks I just don't like the feeling of defeat

[citroen]

I atend the gym regularly, if ever i can't get there, i get so agitated cos i love working out, i feel fitter physically and mentally, i get terrible pms each month, but i find exercise really helps, i also feel more agile after a good workout ,

[jammasterjay]

Yeah, your body does seem to thank you afterwards. It's like you can feel it working as it should.

[citroen]

Yes exactly! it is hard motivating yourself to go back when you haven't been able to go, but once you go back again for the first time in a while, you will realise how much you have missed it, this will motivate you to go back again, its just the getting past the first step to getting back which is the hardest

[jammasterjay]

True, I've returned to activities before after injury but I always over do it and then I'm aching for a couple of days afterwards, moving like an old man! It'll be a little while yet though, and I've still got a few notches left on my belt so it's all good!

[citroen]

Hope you recover soon!!

[BeInnovative]

The fear being naked and shapeless next to my future partner.
Lol. Jk. Just because possibility of heart failure and diabetes in my family tree pushes me to be fit and eat healthy

[crazyincalifornia]

I watch what I eat (potion control really)
I work out in Karate
Brush my teeth 3 or even 4 times a day (not one single cavity... yet)
And have crazy sex with my guy as often as possible
XD

[Nanda]

Yeah i keep myself in shape of a ball.. lol what motivates me? FOOD hehe

[jammasterjay]

FOOD! I've been getting in to cooking, stuff I wouldn't usually eat. I have been missing out!

[sovetskii13]

I always eat healthy to avoid getting sick. Used to have stomach problems.
I turn on some exciting music to get my body moving.

[chocomintstrawberry]

yes. what motivates me is... well I just enjoy going to the gym/dancing.

[YOVANILLA]

I work out 6 days a week and I eat really good during the week and slack off a little on the weekends but not too much. My motivation is that I really really don't want to get fat again.

[selectivethought]

I strive to be a polygon, but this third dimension is just kicking my ass.

[ThatGuy98]

I'm going to the gym 4 times/week and playing some kind of sport 1-2/week.

I also try to eat as healthy as possible but it's kinda hard :P

[Iron_Lions]

Yes I do. What is my motivation? Myself and my health.

[Dessertfox]

Swimming and eat anything I want

[jammasterjay]

Swimming is a pretty good idea actually, at least to start with it's less boring that pumping iron!

[Toadette]

Nah. My life is active enough.

[jammasterjay]

One day you will appreciate a wing backed chair, a pipe, broadsheet newspaper and a pair of slippers! You will wonder just what it is the kids are eating that gives them so much energy!

[Toadette]

They drink those monster energy drinks.

[jammasterjay]

LITTLE JUNKIES!

[meatballs21]

I want to look good naked.

[Iron_Man]
