I had to develop the discipline of going to the gym every day when I started my diet. I forced myself to go when it opened at 5:00 AM each day, which was great since I never even really woke up until about halfway through my workout ;-) Before I realized it, I was almost done. After losing almost all the weight I wanted (around 70 pounds so far), I'm at a steady four days a week, and if I get off track, I feel the same way I do if I haven't brushed my teeth yet. So I quickly get back in sync. Also, I made it a game to get those last few reps in, even though I feel like I may not. Making it a game distracts my discomfort for the very short period it takes to get over the hump. I can relate when it comes to exercise.

I can really relate to the roller coaster motivation part. I love the feeling of starting a new product but rarely have the drive to see it through to the end, which is one of my biggest problems. Lot's of food for though in this article. This is good article Scott. I can really relate to the roller coaster motivation part.
