Just turned 40 ! and determined to shift this last stone so I will be the same weight I was before kids.

Followed the same pattern, lose a few lbs, get bored gain and few and so on.

Managing to stick to this pretty easily.

Thanks in advance

Habits trump motivation every day. Get up and make good choices in food and exercise every day and you will have those habits in place.

When I need motivation I read this quote

Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice.
-Wayne Dyer

However, habit does trump motivation.

Happy birthday! I felt a little unmotivated last week, but it turns out it was just my cycle lying to me about what my priorities were

Keep at it, you're doing a great job!
