Body: Gots to Find the Motivation

I am severely lacking in the motivation department these days. I've heaped so much on to my plate that improving me has been pushed with a mighty force to the back burner. I must remember that going to the gym makes me feel good. When I feel good, I have more energy. When I have more energey, I'm better at life. When I'm better at life, I'm just fabulous. It's a vicious circle that if not regularly moved, reverts to the opposite - bad at life. This is all kinds of bad.

As a project person, I can't just BE motivated. I need to have a reason. A goal. A driving force.

So, I have a goal. Down to wedding weight by Memorial Day weekend. That's only 5 pounds in a bit less than 3 weeks.

If I write it here, I'm responsible for it. And I would feel bad letting all 3 of my blog readers down :-)

Date: Tuesday May 6
Weight: 125
Goal: 5 to go

We are on the exact same wave length here!!! I'm doing the same thing. I just haven't pulled to trigger yet to post it. The ONLY thing that gets my rear in gear is having someone to go with. If I know she is waiting for me I don't want to let her down. The ONLY reason right now I'm waking my behind up at 4:45am to walk.... but I do feel better. I'm going to post my weight and my goals too. This is a long a comment - sorry.

Kiss you. Takes balls to put your weight out there. I've thought about it but not ballsy enough. I will say that I have not weighed 125 pounds since I was 18. not a coincidence that that's when Mr. Diabolina nabbed me :)

p.s. I think more good motivation for getting down to the goal weight is buying a pair of expensive, HOT jeans. It's what I plan to reward myself with if I ever can shed the last five pounds. I've only lost five since january. ugh.

I would suggest a new form of exercise. Is there anything your gym offers that you haven't done? Maybe classes or a rock wall treadmill. If you spent two weeks mastering something new I bet you could lose 5 lbs. Good luck!
