Why don't I feel like exercising?

It's like I do want what's best for me &' I know what to do. I have the things I need in order to complete my workouts, it just I have this feeling like I don't want to. It's crazy because this whole time I've been so eager to workout and so motivated but these past days, I just press the snooze button, I skip my workout &' I have ALL OF THESE REMINDERS for me to workout and yet I don't even put effort into it. My boyfriend kept trying to push me to do it and he asked me why all of a sudden I don't want to do it, and I replied saying that's what I don't even know... I really need help, I don't really know why I'm not trying as I should... Thank you for your time and have a good day.

Like I would literally try to find any excuse I can just to get out of doing workout and in the back of my head I'm telling mymyself I should know better and I should be exercising but like I said, I don't know why... :/

The night before your workout, take 10 minutes to visualize your entire session in your mind. Imagine yourself getting up, working out (really go through the entire workout in your mind) and feeling energized and accomplished afterwards.
If you're not having fun and perceive your workout as work, you're more inclined to snack. Try dance classes or pick up a sport you used to love or have always wanted to try. Enjoying your workout improves the likelihood that you will be motivated for the long run.
Study results show that you'll perform better at a given task if you dress suitably for the task at hand. For example, dressing like a personal trainer or a professional cyclist (depending on what activity you choose) has the potential to greatly improve your exercise performance.
It's important that you remain positive. Negative thoughts ( I'm not going to make it through this workout) to more positive thoughts ( I've gotten through workouts before, and I always feel better after).
