Motivation

The first step and hardest part of getting yourself healthy is convincing yourself to do it. For me, the turning point was when James Gandolfini died. He was around my age and so that just made me really realize, if I don't  get my health under control, that could be me. I know it sounds like the strangest thing, but that did it for me. One thing to do to get yourself motivated is to surround yourself with inspiration. When you look at workout videos or pictures of people working out, you will probably think, Man, I wish I was that fit. That usually makes me want to work out so take that feeling, get in some workout clothes, and go work out. You can do something simple starting out, like only doing a hundred calories on the treadmill or walking at a local park for 15 minutes. You can just walk up and down your driveway, anything to get moving. Remember, there is no bad workout, any workout is a good workout. Also, I know this sounds cheesy, but if your wallpaper on your phone has an inspirational quote/picture, it may help you get "into the mood" to workout or try to change your eating.
