MOTIVATION

Hi Everyone, Just got back from my morning walk. I increased it this week and I am up to 2 1/2 miles a day(Sometimes I even go again in the evening) But I have to drag myself out every day. Once I'm out there I'm okay but it's just getting myself out the door that is the problem. I usually join up with some neighbors on the street so that's a plus. I keep waiting for that exercise "high" but so far no go! My question to you is "what motivates you to exercise???" Jackie

Absolutely nothing motivates me to exercise. I don't even feel guilty because just the thought of putting on sneakers makes me want to lie down and take a nap. My husband says I'll feel better IF I start getting some real exercise but I can't even find the motivation to put on the damn sneakers. Isn't there a pill we can take for this? God knows I take enough supplements every day that one more won't break me.

Well as of this week it's watching The Biggest Loser on TV. lol! Nothing like watched non-WLS people lose 20+ pounds in a week to get you off your duff! lol! I upped my water intake to 96 oz a day (I've been bad about the water lately) and I lost 5 pounds this week! That's a LOT for me since I usually only lose a couple of pounds a week if that.

My motivation is it makes me feel good all day. I like to work out in the mornings. I try to change it up...one day I walk 2 miles..... the next day I will do the Slim in Six dvd. So come on get the sneakers on and let's get our bodies moving. LOL
