Lack of Motivation?

[Lee]

Ive been trying to get back into the gym lately after reinjuring my back and hurting my shoulder a few months back. The problem is with my job, hardwood flooring, im almost always exhausted when I get home. The problem is I can never motivate myself to get out of the house once I get home. Is there anything you guys do to motivate yourself before lifting?

lol. unfortunately one of the contributing factors to my lack of motivation is the stress of being broke most of the time.

motivation comes from within, do not look externally for this.

If you're exhausted when you get home, why not just lift before all that? Lift in the morning after a good night's sleep.

its just hard to get out and do it when i get home from work since my whole body already hurts from work. im also trying to quit drinking at the moment, i was well on my way to developing a serious drinking problem. i just wanted to see what the bros on here would say for some motivating factors.

Look in the mirror and tell yourself to quit being a fucking bitch. Then go train.

You have one of two options.

A) Go in the morning

B) Do not stop off at home after work, or if you do, DO NOT SIT DOWN. If your ass hits the couch it is a wraaaaaaappppppp.

Other little motivational techniques are some kind of before picture or motivational phrase taped to the snooze button of your alarm clock and/or tape the same to the tv screen so u don't turn it on when u get home.
