If you can loose the weight, you must motivate.

As I described in my last post I have lost a ton of weight (45 lbs as of today). Most of it came off with out having to workout. Some might think that is awesome. I do. However the end result is a near skinny guy with no habit of working out. In other words I'm a previously fat and lazy guy, that is now almost skinny and just as lazy as the day I started. Some might be OK with that, I'm not. I want to keep this weight off the rest of my life. Over the last 8 years I went from 215 to 270+. I don't want to get over 215 ever again. I need to work out regularly in order to make that happen.

I have a free gym membership through work that I have yet to use. I have a bike set up on a trainer in my basement that I have ridden. I have free weights, a sandbag, and kettlebells in my basement that I have not used. I'm really hoping February will be the start of a new habit for me. I keep telling myself that literally overnight I went from eating what I want to eating a very strict diet. I need to find the motivation to do something active every day. I have numerous tools I just listed to get me active, I just need the motivation to use them.

I'm usually not big on resolutions, but i just decided my resolution this year is to workout consistently. I want to be healthy, not just skinny. I want to ride my bike a ton this year. I want to run a half marathon this year. I want to have a nice physique as a result of lifting weights. I believe this is possible, but only if I consistently work out.
