The best way to keep pushing yourself is to not really give yourself an option to not work out, just keep reminding yourself all day that it you have to do it, sort of like another job, then it will eventually become a routine and then you wont really have to push yourself, it will just be a part of your daily routine.
This is great advice and something I turned to when I got out of college and started working out at 6am every day before work. I hated getting upbut I didn't give myself a choice. I treated it like a job and still do to this day, because the end results are worth it.
I also recommend hanging around with like-minded people. You don't need to do your workouts with a partner every day but it often helps making friends inand outside the gym of people with similar interests. Just comparing routines, talking about your goals, and even saying "See you tmrw" to each otherhelps with sticking to your routine. I workout by myself every day but I'm friendly with quite a few people in my gym who I see every day in there, talk toon a regular basis and trade info with, etc. A few of us are talking of doing a triathalon this summer even.
