>told myself I would start working out again when summer hit
>10 weeks later I've done maybe 2 half assed workouts
It's more of a life problem that I just don't give a shit about anything, but
What do you guys do to motivate you to go work out? What kind of things keep you going?

I am a fucking basket case who believes I need to train for sword combat and castle sieges.
No idea how any one else does it.

I like to work out. Everything else is a bother.

Probably a foreign concept to somebody who has never committed to something, but if you commit for fucking real it becomes it's own motivation.
I want you to imagine something for me. Imagine that you have been working out for an hour and a half every monday, wednesday, and friday for three months. There were times when you really didn't want to do it, but you did it anyway. And now you're used to the feeling, and you know it's not so bad to do it when you don't feel like it. Also, you are able to see some signs of progress from 3 months of working out.
So it's a monday, and you don't feel like working out. Do you have any idea how much harder it is to skip a workout at that point? I was forced to the other week, and it made me furious. It was a betrayal of myself, and it was an impediment to three consecutive months of effort. If I don't want to work out, I do it anyway and nothing bad has ever come of it. Even if I don't finish my reps that day.
Basically, you have to stop thinking in terms of right now to be motivated toward anything. Extend your goals and think back on them as accumulated effort. It will become harder to abandon them that way, because it's not just about taking it easy today, but rather derailing a train of compounded planning and effort, and frankly it's not even tempting at that point.

Been there. Used to exercise every weekday morning. When I wasn't forced to anymore I stopped. Nothing else motivated me to do it.

It's meditation, I am literally addicted to the post workout buzz too. Also, I feel like a lazy piece of shit if I don't go.
Autistic obsession with having a nicer body than normies
Used to lift in hopes of attracting a qt3.14 gf but after 7 years of desolance in my sex life, I've given up. (I've been lifting for roughly 9 years now)
Definitely have girls remind me I'm good looking, parents suspect I'm gay because never have a gf, sister's friends ask "why no gf tee-hee," get oneitus still, tfw no confidence to get gf :(
Oh, and all girls have bfs already.
