Visual Motivation

[PhoenixOrion]

I remember that Kellogg's Special K ad on TV where this woman hangs a two-piece bikini to get her motivated to work-out and to watch what she eats and be ready for the bikini season.

I seem to work out harder at the gym when they have music videos playing wherein hot girls are dancin in da club...makes me think that as long as I run harder/pump harder that I can keep up with that 'crowd.'
I know it's vain but it works for me...in terms of motivating me to work out and watching what I eat.

What do you have in terms of 'visual motivation'? Are you the kind who doesn't need anything visual to get you going?

I use sleep as my motivator. "If i get this done, i can go to bed"

It seems my wife needs a grand vacation to work out for a couple of months in advance.

I have vacation photos around my cube. That is the biggest motivator for me. I live for traveling now and whenever I feel down or lazy, I look at the photos of our favorite places, take a few moments to remember being there, and continue on. Then I am happy.

Snow. Freshly fallen snow, so that I can get out on the ski hills and have some fun

I just read a hustler on the treadmill, get gets some wierd looks from the other 'walkers', but all i have to say is "You just jealous 'cause you're FAT?".

then they leave me alone.

Best one.

I could use a motivator. My motivation tends to be a result of procrastination. Classwork has never been really challenging, it's always just been tedious, and there's always been a lot of it. Things that I don't find to be truly challenging just don't get assigned a high priority, so they tend to get put off. Then I have a looming deadline as motivation.

So if I buy a rusty 20 year old M5 some day, I've made it?
