What MOTIVATES you when you're lacking MOTIVATION? What keeps you disciplined and keeps you on track? What keeps you FOCUSED?

I sometimes set my expectations too high eventhough I know I have to take baby steps. So I'm in need of some CREATIVE MOTIVATION SKILLS :flowerforyou:

    I get off work at 4. My air conditioning is programed to come on at 6. It's a hundred degrees.
    Where can I go that has air conditioning? mmmm, the GYM. (ding ding ding)

    Knowing that as a nurse I will be telling people that THEY are doing unhealthy things and I can't do that if I'm unhealthy myself.

    My family- being healthy and fit for my son and my husband is super important to me.

    Knowing how far I've come and that I DO NOT want to go back there. So even if I have a maintenance period it's okay to take a break from losing and learn how to maintain as well.

    GREAT IDEA! I just changed my schedule at work so I can go to the gym right after I get off. My daughter is on a waiting list for YMCA so I will have to work something out.
