Here's how to pat your own back

“Sometimes a little recognition goes a long way. Here's how to pat your own back.”

Like a five-year old, you probably don't go around bragging about all your daily accomplishments, "Hey, I ate broccoli today...and all my green beans!" But, keeping a visual of achievements keeps us motivated. Kids get smiley faces and gold stars when they excel, and so should you. Keep a workout calendar visible and buy a bunch of fun stickers. Add smiley faced stickers when you workout. A gold star if you eat really well that day. You'll find it hard to break the pattern in a week or a month once you've got a row beaming brightly. It might make the difference between ordering the salad or the cheeseburger one day.

I love this idea.  I'm almost 5 weeks post op and have been struggling to find the energy to workout.  Maybe this will help!  Thanks

Your energy will increase as time goes on and you add more calories, believe me. :)
