Two questions:
1. I have big motivation issues. I very much live in the moment, and because of this, I basically don't do anything I don't want to unless something depends on it at that moment. I never do homework at home, so my time is spent in free time in school finishing homework. My grades have suffered because of this which frustrates me because I'm one of the smarter kids in my grade. I take meds for ADHD which seems to help a little, but I don't like relying on something else for my problems. Advice?
2. I'm in a gym class where I'm in the fitness center 3 days a week, so I'm working out now. It won't do me much good though if I don't eat more though. I don't eat a lot and can't really bring myself to eat more or even eat breakfast many day because there's nothing I want to eat. Any advice on combating this?

What is your goal with diet and exercise?
-
I work out 3 times a week and do cardio at least twice a week. I just need to eat a lot more than the ≈1500 calories I eat a day.
-
Well I mean some people work out to lose weight some to gain muscle some for cardio some for a mix. My brother is interested in building muscle he says take protein and the other stuff (sounds kind of like "creator").
-
Creatine? I'm not really interested in supplements at my age and goals. Diet first.

Edited by Britton: 4/26/2015 5:43:33 PMGood idea. Creatine is garbage and terrible for you. If you want to gain lean muscle its all about eating lots of healthy food. Your body frame is gonna dictate how quick you gain weight. A realistic weight gain goal for someone your size is 15 lbs in 4 months, its possible to do more, but that's a good achievable goal to start with.
-
Ok that is why I was asking your goals :) So just general fitness? That is what I do mostly cardio. I use weight machines a little to tone though my brother says toning is a myth lol.

1) the best thing I use for when I lose my motivation is to refocus on my goals. So the key is to have goals. Set goals figure out the steps to get there and work toward it one step at a time. Those small accomplishments towards the bigger goal add up and will help keep you going. Yes it will be a struggle but having that goal will allow you to refocus and get back on track. 2) I'm guessing your thin and want to bulk up some? If its something your serious about you're going to need to exercise 5 times a week and lift weights at least 3 of those 5. As far as eating if your having trouble eating a lot then eat higher calorie foods (but still healthy) foods. There's lots of online resources you can use too. This also falls into the first part, but its all about setting goals and working toward them and taking them in small achievable steps.

Edited by tjustie: 4/26/2015 3:56:15 AMYeah. 6'1.5" and 140-145. We have a running day once a week as well in gym, and I have a rowing machine at home, which I use occasionally. Diet is tough though. Edit: lol my phone auto corrected rowing to r[i]a[/i]ping. This phone has the worst autocorrect I've ever seen holy crap.

Yeah you're gonna need to start lifting weights and lifting low reps heavy weight. Make sure you focus on lifts like squats, deadlifts, power cleans, and bench press. Body weight exercises are good too push ups, pull ups, heavy dips, and and burpees are great too. Use online resources to figure out the best regiment for weight gain and your strength goals.
