How do you motivate yourself for jogging?
Heya.
As the title of this topic suggests, I would like know how do you motivate yourself for jogging, especially at the very beginning. By now, it's not hard to guess that I want to lose some weight, and possibly, gain some constitution.
Until now, I've managed to regulary jogging throu 3-4 days at most before I quit. I don't know how to deal with my own laziness and my self-anger at my lack of constitution.
I would appreciate some responses. Even if it won't change anything in my life, it might give me some ideas.
Thank you, and muffin button.

Solution: Hometrainer + TV + Playstation. Before you know it, you've exercised for three hours (the following day might be rough though).
Another thing to do if you can is get a treadmill. We got a cheaper one from Walmart and use it all the time. That way there's no excuse for not running two or three times a week. Plus you can set your TV up and catch up on your Netflix queue
Five small meals per day, instead of few big meals, is considered healthy way to go. But execution of such eating habits is a different story.

Netflix? Nope, I don't watch TV. Tristram will be doomed without my help, however
@typo_tilly
Nope, not too much at all. You made some valid points and I appreciate that.

The content of the link you provided is quite interesting, and in many cases, true. However, the author of the comics is evidently passionated in running in a way I can understand. On the other hand, I think of jogging only as an exercise. There are (or at least were) other activities that helped me cleanse my mind.
So, I guess that you mean running while listening to some badbutt workout music?
Isn't that what I just said?
This motivates me to run... Or bike ride really in my case. Choose a destination. A pub. A friends house. A spot in the park. A view from a hill. A comic shop. And GO.
I sorta walk now with the baby strapped to me... Still it is fun to go to the pub... You deserve that pint after that calorie burn!
Sex is the second division, and connection, within this universe, the first being the division of that which divides from that which does not. It is thus the second strongest in power - utilize it and you will surely stay on track. And, if you will run with a companion, you will also likely make it possible for another person to stay on track, which is almost as awesome.
Though, you probably shouldn't listen to me. I'm biased. I, in my undisputed masculinity, exist mainly because of sex.
For a hyphotetical being whom power and abilities are infinite, you understand nature of people quite well. Losing some weight to gain some attractivenes to opposite gender is fine, but with the face you teologically gave me, it's still close to impossible.

Sorry for taking your time, but I had to be sure. I know badass songs which aren't fitting for a training, jogging or any other physical activity. So I had to make sure you are suggesting songs that seems particulary made for workout (Eye of The Tiger and such. Guile's Theme works too, but no wonder - it goes with everything).
I think if I'm going to use your advice, I will be listening to something really badass, then after completing jogging session this song will nicely represent how I'm going to feel:

I hardly have any self-discipline, so I have to be pressured in some way to achieve things. I think schedule is needed.
