Many people get into something and go as hard as they can, because it's new and they really enjoy it. At first they are 100% dedicated and never miss, eat all the right things and so on, they cannot seem to get enough. However I also see in more cases than not how once the newness wears off, they start missing and slipping back into old habits because they burnt them selves out, trying to race to the finish per say. Fitness, fighting, training etc...is never a destination, it's is the journey that keeps me coming back for more. The people I meet, the people I help, the progress I gain, even if it's very little, if any. Yes, I am human and get burnt out too, just slow down or try another angle to keep moving forward. If you just can't find the motivation to train hard, just keep moving, you will find your drive again. Life will throw us curves, such as life, training is one in the same. Always remember why you started doing what you are doing in the first place. Even if you are older, more busy, etc...find away to give to yourself too. Do what you do because you love it, not to get rich or famous. If that is the only reason you got into something, you will not last, if those things come along in your journey, take it in stride and ride the waive while it last, but in the end it should always go back to loving what you do.
