You may have heard the phrase - attacking the barbell. It means... it means to really focus on your reps, to move quickly, and to do the exercise like you mean it. I was thinking about the way I exercise, and I realized, I am not attacking the barbell. I was instead moving slowly, doing lighter weights than I should have done, and basically wimping out before I had even begun the exercise.
If you attack the barbell, if you take your exercise seriously, I really believe that is where success will come in. I did it today...2 hours later I can still feel the effects of the exercise. And I could not even complete the specified sets and reps.
I am always cautious as I had injured myself once while exercising, but being safe and trying to avoid injury, for me, does not mean to do something half-heartedly. It means to be careful, be prudent, don't be a hero, and don't fight through bodily pain on a set. There are people who will disagree with that.
Handling weight loss motivation is a challenge. You need to keep exercising, fight distracting thoughts, and keep focused on the goal of eating healthy.
