Re-motivated

I had been struggling a little to get re-motivated after Christmas, a busted treadmill and school holidays. My husband was around more and we have spent way too much time hanging out with family and friends, eating and drinking. It was a lot of fun but now it's time to get serious.

I have since re-discovered it. My motivation is my birthday next month and my husband is throwing me a big, birthday bash. I think knowing all our families and friends are coming is all the motivation I need. I have been managing to run 10 km 4 or 5 times a week and we are back to family bootcamp this weekend. Next I need to fit in some weights and continue to improve my diet.

It doesn't help that I'm out to dinner with the In-laws tonight. Maybe my diet can start tomorrow.

If all else fails, a light spray tan will work.

What motivates you?

  5. I just finally am feeling motivated again although I can't say why - I guess it was just time. Now that I am motivated I set a reward of a trip to the beach and a surfing lesson to hopefully help me stay on track.

  6. I'm finding it so hard to get motivated to run at the moment and the fact that spray tans are so readily available does not help the situation...fat looks better tanned LOL

  7. To be honest ... I am sick of looking like I am 5 months pregnant when I am not, have not been and will never be. That and I have a new training buddy. Oh and the fact I am supposed to be doing 2 half marathons between now and July. I really need all the motivation I can get!
