Go for the gold

“Certain times of the year you just feel less motivated to stay in shape. Here's how to go for the gold.”

Holidays and bad weather are just two of the go-to excuses to avoid working out this time of year. If you feel yourself giving into the temptation of skipping your workout and not eating as well as you should, it's time to set a goal. What would you be amazed at if you accomplished it? A 5K, triathlon, or maybe the Boston (or any other city) marathon? Find a goal that will push your limits. Doing something to raise money for a charity or having someone else to share it with can help you be accountable for the goal too. Find a purpose and find your motivation.
