Getting kind of tired with exercise.
Lately, I feel a little tired of exercise. Any motivational tips? Also, I feel my weight is dragging and not moving along faster. Its kind of frustrating me. I've lost 9lbs since november but now it is starting to all feel tiresome. I know I have to do this. But, some words of motivations would help.

OUCH! I've been doing a GREAT job with my daily treadmill workouts including upping my jogging (this is relatively new for me) at a slow speed to 1.25 miles per day. I LOVE it! It's hard by the end of the 1.25 miles and I walk an additional 2.75 miles with it but it's great! I love making a challenge for myself. I intended…
