When I am feeling "heavy" on a certain day I do sit-ups in my summer bikini!!! Let me tell you, it makes me motivated to keep pushing too!!

    Lots of things . . .
    - My kids are definitely at the top of the list for me. Setting the right example. Knowing that they may cringe when they see me in their school building occasionally, but at least they aren't embarrased about the way I look.
    - Cute clothes. It's nice to not have to buy clothes that camofluage my problem areas. And, way more fun to bring several things into the fitting room and being happy with the way most of them look.
    - The possibility of being seen without any clothes on. Yeah. Definitely that.

    - Fitting into some cute cosplay.
    - Being able to walk a couple blocks on a steep incline without being tired.
    - Having the stamina to stay active
    - Want to go back to wearing size 10 jeans
    - I want to continue to look young/youthful. (Studies have shown if you exercise you slow down the aging process :happy: )

    The twelve weeks I have before my bikini competition. Nothing is a better motivator than imagining being scrutinized.
