If you want motivation …grab your phone, face a mirror and take full length front and side views of your body I did this last October. The other day I wondered if I was smaller…so I put on the same clothes and did it again. I was expecting a "wow" moment.
First, pictures don't lie. It is a reality check.. Big time. And a motivator. I am smaller…but nothing to brag about. I look like a smaller version of my out of shape self. The updated photos have motivated me to work harder to be more dedicated. If I hadn't updated those progress pictures.. i could continue lying to myself. I now know i need to lift some weights and kick up my cardio a few notches.
I won't let so much time go by before I take the next photos.. i think it is more telling than the scale any day.
