Motivation...

...Or in this case, lack thereof.

How do you deal with it? Do you just wait for it to come back, or force the matter?

I basically haven't lifted anything or watched what I ate for the last month or so. I just have zero desire to walk into the gym or think about what I'm going to eat next, nevermind counting calories or grams of protein. I had set a date, june 29th, to take a picture to compare to last year's. I had been on a slow gradual cut since february (put on 35lbs over 5 months during the winter, great bulk) and I was pretty happy with what was happening. Mid to late may I stopped caring. It wasn't the results, because they were pretty good, but I just didn't feel like going through the process.

Didn't feel like going grocery shopping, planning protein meals, hitting the weights or any of that. Funny thing is right now I look and weigh the exact same I did a month and a half ago.

I want to get back into the groove of things but I just have no desire yet. Something tells me to just wait it out until it comes back, but I don't want to rely too much on my luck so far lest I lose the progress I made.

Meh.

What gets me motivated is seeing the results. It's a hobby and a lifestyle for some. If you just don't have any interest in it, maybe it's not for you. You don't necessarily have to bulk or lift all the time. Just stay in shape and feel good about what you're doing. Staying healthy and in shape should be some some kind of interest to you

I started at 170lbs, tall n skinny. It was rough at times and I felt like giving up, but knowing what it's gonna be like in the future is what got/gets me going. Just gotta stick with it and you'll see results.

hate to say this man but maybe weight lifting just isnt for u then....its not that big of a deal really...everybody has their thing...this just may not be ur thing...u have to do what makes u happy..cause that will be what u do best in and succed at the most....if anything just get in the gym whenever u can( for health reasons) and just watch ur diet...no need for counting or any extreme measures......i personally have found my "thing" in bodybuilding..i look forward everyday to the grueling workouts and i love watching my diet and setting new goals(especially reaching those goals)..what motivates me is knowing that everything i do contributes to me looking better and becoming stronger..having a long term goal set doesnt hurt either..mine is to go pro naturally...set on of ur own if u need that motivation
