Based on your current workout regimen, do you know what you are going to do next week? Are you going to do the same exact workouts that you do this week? Are you going to change exercises? Sets and reps? Rest periods? Length of sessions? And on and on....
What I am trying to get at here is that you need to have some type of plan, however basic it may be. Repeating the same exact workouts from week to week will leave you mentally burnt out, and hating your trips to the gym.
My recommendation: Try looking at your workouts on a monthly basis. Write down all of your workout sessions in a given week. Then, plan to change up the volume (total work). For all of your lifts in week 1, do 4 sets of 8 reps. Week 2 do 5 sets of 5. Week 3 do 4 sets of 8 again. On Week 4 give yourself a break. Cut your workouts in half. Do 2 sets of 8, skip cardio and head home. I am giving you permission. Week 5 is a hard week again. See the pattern? This type of approach may be the key to workout longevity and the real reason some type of people go hard for a month and then take 4 months off. Consistency is crucial to maintaining your fitness and bodyweight levels so you aren't all over the place.
Give it a try.
