We can't deny how music make our life better, wonderful and colorful ( one of my all time favorite movies is Julie Andrew's " Sound of music " ). Music could be your faithful companion too, especially when you really need something to enhance your good mood. I am sure you have experienced how music or song makes you sad, makes you happy, makes you calm down a bit. Now, you need music to make you cheerful, happy, or whatever boost your good mood.
So, please choose the right song or music for your workout ( Chopin's Serenade for stretching, Shania Twain's country upbeat for low impact aerobic, etc )
Have a nice try, bro :-)

Scent of a good mood.
Let's prepare a bit for your ritual workout. When you are planning to do aerobic dance with favorite upbeat music, try to make your room full of citrus or fresh mint aroma. These aroma will boost your enthusiasm optimally. Another time you wanna do some yoga, you can choose jasmine or sandalwood which tend to be magical, so you'll forget everyday problem for a while and concentrate to your workout. Candle with various aroma would be a great choice to make your room aromatically well smell.
I promise only with a little creative touch, not only you get a nice body shape, also a beautiful mind.

How to fight ?
Many tricks you can do to fight against laziness. Make a reward for yourself if you can do diet or workout let's say for a week, may be you'll go to some cozy place, have your favorite Japanese style dinner at the weekend.
Buy yourself a T shirt with your idol portrait printed on it would be nice too. Of course, before reaching your target, don't even touch the reward :-)
Another trick :
Do your workout at the very first time, in the morning after having some fresh air and a glass of water, do some sit up and push up. Don't wait until you get home late with exhausting body ( and all you need is a pillow ) .
Try this, before you do whatever relating to the program, do some light housework first, cleaning dishes, water your favorite daisy or even feed your naughty cat.
Doing housework will burn some calories and it's really something for your slimming program.

The big enemy of your slimming program.
One of the big enemies of your or my slimming program is " delay " or " delaying ". People ( you and me ) tend to make a delay before starting something. The typical excuse such as " Well, let me have a cup of tea before I do my work out ", then after tea time, another excuse coming up. " Okay, um.....take 30 minutes nap would be great before my sweating session ", and so on.....
Believe me it would end up by not doing anything until tomorrow, and tomorrow would be another day ( or excuse ? ). Your dream of being a runway model would be really " gone with the wind " :-)
So, just make sure to follow the schedule, no gain without pain, buddy.

How to get motivated ?
Many things out there would be your great motivation. The most motivating and most inspirating one is another person's body shape. When you watch his or her perfect body contour, first of all you'll be drooling and sighing and think like this : If this body is mine, I would be very excited. Five minutes later you will promise to yourself, I can do it and I have to prepare whatever I need to start my slimming diet program or I have to evaluate and continue to gain my diet and workout program....... Another motivating trick is put someone's picture or poster on your bedroom wall so you can see it day and night, no matter it's your friend, an actor, model or whoever, even a jaguar if you find it would be motivating to you :-) , soon you'll find that everything is different especially your mood and spirit to fight. I'll share some other things that can be your motivation later, please share yours for us too.

Get motivated
Sometimes, in my diet history, I feel so tired that I wanna quit from this strict game. Yes, you'll have this feeling too once in a while. But, don't worry, this is normal. All you can do is, forget this stuff for a moment, just go out to see people, check to see how people in the mall make them self pretty or cool. Buy some fashion magazine, you'll see the perfect body in the business, how they keep them self fit and good looking, many article describe how they have a hard time to keep this good shape. You'll find that what you had done was nothing compare to their pain in effort to gain a better look. You'll meet a lot of motivation out there, and believe me, soon, you'll get motivated again.

Extreme diet
Don't be too strict to yourself. Years ago, I had tried to avoid a lot of my favorite food, including noodles, fried chicken, ice cream, sundae, cakes and a lot more. I had only stand for a month ( which I felt like I was living in a deserted island ). Too much steam vegetables made me puke, glasses of fruit juice had made my stomach sick.
Eventually, I decided to come back to my eating habit even more, a butter cake seems to be two times more delicious than ever, fried chicken tasted a lot more crispy than it used to be. Just because you avoid it too much, makes you even missing them and loving them more.
You will not survived with this strategy, just stay calmed, a little cup ice cream won't add a double chin on your face, a piece of fried chicken wing won't make your " love handle " bulging.
The point is you can have any meal you like, but still keep in mind the keyword " the amount ".
So, please don't make yourself suffered, don't make it complicated. Besides, avoid to have certain item will make your nutrition intake imbalance ( malnutrition ).
