What is YOUR "WHY"?

 I have always believe that when we have a goal we want to accompli**** is important to understand and identify your own personal "WHY".  Your "WHY" is the reason you are doing what you are doing.  It can be a huge motivating factor in reaching our goals!  Take a minute and share your "WHYS".  I believe we all have them, why else would be put our lives on the line to reach our goal?  

Writing them down and placing them somewhere you can see everyday is a great things as well!  They become our daily reminders when times get tough! 

 MY WHY

1.  I want to live to be numerically old; to watch my children grow up, get married and have families of their own.

2.  I want to be the cool Grandma, full of energy and life to enjoy my grandbabies!

3.  I want to look like I feel inside...young, vibrant, energetic and full of life!

4.  I want to be free of pain from the weight I carry around!

5.  I want to jump out of an airplane with my son when he turns 18!

7.  I want to run a marathon and run a tri-athlon.

8.  I want to have the energy to live life.

11. I want to impart knowledge I have learned from my own battle and help others because I have been there too, and I KNOW how it feels!

12. I want to exercise because I LOVE it, and NOT because if I don't I will gain weight!

13. I want to have confidence to show my talents, use them, and share them.

14. I know this one sounds vain, but lets get real here...who doesn't want this....but I want to be drop-dead gorgeous, and when I walk into a room, people notice me!!!

15. I WANT  to be an ACTIVE participant in life and my children's lives, rather than watch from the side-lines.

I want to sit on a plane and not feel like I am taking up more than my seat

I want to sit in a booth and not have my chest hang over the table, which makes every single thing I drop from my utensil fall onto my shelf.

I, too, want to be a cool grandma!  I have a five year old granddaughter, and hopefully lots more in the future

I want to be the grandma that the kids can be proud of, not embarrassed of!

I want to feel young, free, pain free!

I want to get off of all my medicines!

I want to be successful in my business, which I know I don't work at hard enough, mostly because I don't feel, inside, that I'm worth owning a successful businses.

And just like felise, I want to be drop dead gorgeous that when I walk in a room, people say, Man, look at her!!!    :-)

So glad we're all here!
