Your "enough is enough" moment

What was your enough is enough moment that finally put you on (or back on) the path to fitness?

Mine was 2 moments combined within about 3 weeks of each other.

First, was snowboarding with my brother. 7 runs in one day about destroyed my legs. When i was fit I used to be able to do 20+ runs a day for 3-4 days in a row before needing a break. The second was my first time back on a dirt bike in 5 years - a 20 mile trail ride had my legs and arms so tired and cramped it was pathetic. Again, I used to be able to do 60+ miles in a day for multiple consecutive days.

About 2 days after that dirt bike ride I looked in the mirror after a shower, got and got really angry at myself for letting this happen. Later that night, I went to the gym and rode bike for 30 minutes. The next day i put myself back on a lifting routine. That was in April. Started tracking food in August.

    It's usually when I hit a certain weight. I reach that point and think ... yep, time to tighten up the eating and get exercising more. :)

    When I had a lot of trouble lifting my baby's stroller into the trunk. That was it. I knew I had to start lifting at that point. Now I can do it with one arm. :)
