motivation

[Guest guest]

So great!

I too come up with little mantra or mind games during my treadmill runs. All I

do is repeat repeat repeat and before I know it - I'm done!

My latest is " i'm a sporty, sexy, fit toned woman " and then I envision myself

gliding through my run effortlessly with that fit/toned body I want (in some

cute little running outfit!). Or I envision that I'm on a great trail running

with a pack of other fit people. Even though I feel all jiggly, focusing on how

I want to feel keeps me in a better mindset.

I have other outdoor mindgames I'll share another time!

Keep up the great work!

My motivation to keep going on the treadmill this morning was all the jiggly

things on my body. I just kept saying to myself, " I'm working to get rid of

these jiggly things " ! I made it the whole time and ended up really pushing

myself. Whew, I'm glad it's over.What's your motivation to keep

going?~NC

In general, once I start seeing some progress, I find

it really easy to keep working out and eating

correctly. When everything's working, it all just

seems so *easy*. I also have a number of fun treats

that I don't consider cheating, that help me out too

(always balanced with protein or carb, as appropriate,

so not to set off cravings, and usually only a couple

times a week): sugar free hot chocolate, skinny lattes

from Starbucks, Skinny Cow ice cream, and Cherry Coke

Zero.

When I'm doing my intervals, I just think of it in 1

minute increments. You can do anything for a minute,

right? ; )

I'm down about 3 lbs and 3% body fat and my pants are

falling off today, so something's working!

This is from my SparkPeople:

Yo-yoing weight loss happens like a sledgehammer. Huge swings seem to make a

lot of progress but actually do a lot of damage. Healthy, lasting weight

loss happens like a chisel. Every decision, every action is one chip closer

to a lifestyle masterpiece that looks exactly how you want it to.

Also, my gym is doing a cool thing. You get a sticker for every day you go

to the gym. The people who go 12 times in the next so many days get entered

in a drawing for a free massage. The next one is a drawing for a free

metabolic testing and nutritional counseling and the third is for a free

session with a personal trainer.

Now that's what I call happy holidays!

Happy carving!
