So I spent the last month flying around the country for med school interviews. My gym routine pretty much went down the drain with all the traveling. When I received my first acceptance, I was thrilled, and I swore to go to the gym regularly again, and start cutting again before I start in August.
Now I'm done with all the flying, and I'm trying to get back into the gym, but I always find myself missing gym days, lazing around, and not feeling like going. I got no idea what's going on, I've never had such a motivation problem before haha.

Pretend you are "you" in three years. You have not gone to the gym at all. What would your future self tell your 'present' self?

This is solid advice. I would give anything to be able to go back a few years and have a conversation with myself about "days off" and "cheat days" adding up.Originally Posted by CanadianEric

Don't you have some kind of goal to get a certain physique or hit a certain weight? You aren't going to get that kind of physique by not going to the gym and the more days you skip, the longer it will take.

Try something new! I've been in that same position and it doesn't seem rather you have a goal or not, the motivation isn't there. If you usually go and lift or do cardio try mixing it up, take a new class. Try crossfit or a HIIT class, try a spinning class or Pilates or even zumba! Get a friend to go and you'll have no problem finding motivation to go!

Nijem is right too. Mixing it up could get you back into the gym. Those HIIT classes are no joke.-Work in progress-
