what is your motivation?

Just wondering...who or what motivates you to work out and eat right? Nothing seems to be doing it for me right now

Re: what is your motivation?

For me, it is the way I feel after I work out. When I don't work out or skip a couple of days I feel yucky and I start getting irritable and anxious.

I go into a depressive/anxious mood if I don't exercise and I know that. I hate those feelings, so when I skip 2 or 3 days I know why my mood is declining and I need to get back into a routine again.

Also, the I like being fit and on the thinner side. I feel stronger and more confident.

Re: what is your motivation?

I am motivated to work out by how I feel. I feel wonderful mentally and physically. I have a back problem so if I don't work out, I get stiff, feel lethargic and probably allow myself to cheat more. I stand taller and feel stronger when I work out. My DH is a wonderful motivator too. He is very athletic and sometimes we work out together!!! Bottom line, you have to feel good doing it and don't do something that bores you!!! Be consistent and reward yourself, even if it is 10 lb., that's 35,000 calories!!! Get a massage, buy a pair of shoes, get a spa pedicure....Good luck!!!

Right now - my motivation is I went to the doctor last week and when I was weighed, I found out I was the same weight I was at my 6 week check-up after having my baby. She is now 5 months

Re: what is your motivation?

My daughter. I don't want her to learn the unhealthy way of living I grew up with and I also don't want her to ever know the pain of being overweight your whole life. I am determined to do better by her.
Also my health. I want to live a long life and be around to see grandchildren.
Our trip to Mexico in June. I want to go and have fun and not be self concious the entire trip.
