Motivation
So when I got my new Wii I was really good about exercising and watching my diet. Then I got lazy. I partly blame the house hunting crap, but there have definitly time I chose the couch over a workout. This morning I could barely find a pare of pants that I could wear that didn't cut me in half. So I REALLY need to get back into it.
So what I need from you is motivation. Give me all your reasons why I need to work at getting skinny again and keep working on it.
Re: Motivation
A size 7? Wow 2 brandy's could fit in my pants.
2 brandy's could never be a good thing. I was super psyched. I was barely fitting into an 11/12 for awhile.
::stands up and applauds::
That's fantastic brandy. Can you see me turning green?
Ok, so after Kristy emailed me I remember the real motivation of it all (I'm c & p from our email)
An interview with Oprah & Michele Obama. Oprah asked how she stayed so fit & M answered by waking up at 4 every morning. O said how impressed she was & applauded her efforts. M responded, ?if I had to wake up at 4 for the girls I would. Taking care of my health & making time for myself should be no different. They need a mother who is confident in how she feels about herself.?
That really struck a chord w/me.
I like that! It's "my" time when I get up to do it at 5:30am. I'm doing it to get healthy for Sarah and C and ME! Also, it gives me a TON of energy (which is needed to chase after Sarah). I also love me some endorphins!
Awesome! Thanks!
Part of my issue is I already get up at 4:30am to catch my vanpool. Getting up earlier to exercise would mean getting up at 3:30am. That is just not happening.
Keep it coming! I'll make myself a motivation sheet to read when I need a push.
Ha! That is good motivation. But we've already been trying for a year. Though Kat's right, I'd really like to be in better shape if/when we ever get lucky.
I have a pair of size 7 pants that I looked for for over a year and finally found. they hang in my bedroom to remind me that I can't fit into them.
Also, I always start a workout routine but never finish it because I get bored. I started mixing it up with a calendar. I do the Shred like 3 times a week, I do a dance cardio workout thing from Exercise TV twice a week and I run whenever Frankie reminds me to, which is about every day. I don't run a lot, just about 2 miles but it's a good little extra to add on. I found that I stick to the mixed up all different types of stuff better than doing the same thing every day.
Kristy~ Thanks. It's been a long year.
Jenn~ Changing it up is a good idea. I liked the 30DS, but never stuck with it long enough to get past level 1.
I can't tell you how many times I've done that. I've only finished it once I think. I looked AWESOME after but it took me like almost 2 months to finish it LOL. I think I have work out ADD. I get distracted really easily. Or maybe I'm lazy. I think I prefer the term Work Out ADD
Totally me!!! The Wii helped though because it offers such a wide range of exercises.
Yeah the Wii is a lot of fun. It's more like a game than a work out which I'm sure is their intent. God Bless the 21st Century
