new found motivation
Well even though I haven’t stopped working out or stopped eatting healthy I go through cycles of being excited about it and not. Even though I do cheat probaby more often then not, I always make it an extra effort to eat properly. This week has been extremely hard for me to get up in the mornings, Joe has been on vacation all week and I had a cold, so that means when my alarm goes off, I wake to a cold pitch black house and a warm cozy husband right next to me, so as you can imagine I didn’t get up early this week at all. I got up to reset my alarm from 5am to 6:30am every day this week. But I did find time to get some wo’s in, in the evenings. Monday was nice because I took the day off with him so I got a nice 30 min run in, I took Tuesday off. Wednesday night I got a quick little walk in despite my headache and cold but to my surprise Thursday afternoon my cold had passed, well at least the headaches so that night I did Slim in 6. Didn’t do anything this morning and we’ll see what happens tonight, hard to say being Friday night and all.
I’ve completely planned out my next two weeks and this is what has gotten me excited again. For some reason getting it all on paper really motivates me, I feel secure in my plan, I know what I need to do and as the days go by I just check off my tasks. It’s much easier then wondering what wo to do and what meal to eat. I’ve also planned out every meal (brkfst, mrn snack, lunch, aftrn snack and dinner) for the next two weeks and planned a grocery list to correspond. This makes life so much easier, I like being in control and having a schedule so this works very well for me and it makes me happy because I know I’m doing the right thing.
My goal is to lose another 4 lbs by 12-18-07 and if I keep up this planning I should lose more than that. But I’m keeping my goal realistic.

Good point about having it down on paper as a motivation. I have noticed that when I write down the workout the night before, it is much easier to get up at 5:30 because I know I have a job to do and appointment to keep.

dont worry everybody has these time but the difference is some people keep it for long time and some wake up from it and start to change.
Change is alway hard
