How do you push through a tough workout?
To be perfectly honest with you, I've definitely cut workouts short because I was "too tired," the workout was "too hard" or because I had "somewhere else to be." I've left early from a class, bumped down my cardio time from 20 minutes to 10, haven't done a 4th or 5th set during weightlifting, and even cancelled out a whole planned exercise. However, these occurrences are a lot less frequent now and here are the strategies I've used to ensure I push through it:

During my final semester of college, I took a class called "Learning About Adolescence Through Literature." In our studies, we read YA novels that related to a topic for the week, then discussed them and wrote a reflection on how the novel we read related to educational articles and our discussions. Our final project was to choose a topic of interest and present it to the class with at least two YA novels relating to it. I chose fashion and the media, and this is how I came across Kelly deVos' "Fat Girl on a Plane."
I didn't think I was going to travel at all but here I am starting off the year with a flight back home. It's only 4 hours from Chicago to LA, but even my two-hour flights in college made me feel bloated. Between the flights, the lack of a gym, and the constant activity that's about to happen, it's going to be difficult to maintain healthy habits and feel good--but it is possible!
If you've been around for a little bit (or watched my last youtube video), you'd know that I don't count calories or go on diets. However, this is 100% what I did when I started getting healthy. Here's what changed and why these don't work. (Remember to consult your doctor before changing your eating and fitness habits).
