Motivation during workouts?

I repeat "Find Your Strong - You got this!" and focus on the areas that I specifically am working on. It helps me a ton... even if I have to hear that mantra a thousand times during my nearly-daily 5k (run/walked of course... I'm working on being able to run the whole thing yet)

i usually visualise my perfect wedding dress (getting married in sept next year) and say you can do it ! lol
sometimes i swear at the tv during 3 day shred.. today i told jillian she was a ***** for making me do more jumping jacks.. somehow that made me feel better

I just think about something that makes me angry (usually an ex), and suddenly I've got a burst of energy to get much more intense.

hahahahaha hell hath no fury as a woman scorned! always remember that success is the BEST revenge that sure does it for me too

The quote that runs through my head is:

“Unless You Puke, Faint or Die, Keep Going!”
― Jillian Michaels

Every time I feel like stopping I imagine her yelling at me hahaha

i definitely would rath work out with Bob than Jillian, she is pretty scary but her body is amazing....but she scares me too much hahahaha

I always pick up the pace a little when my playlist gets to Eminem's "Lose Yourself" -

"You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo"

Not a huge Eminem fan, in general, but that pumps me up during my runs!

(Also during runs when I feel like I'm plodding along like a clydesdale... I sing "Float, flutter, fly..." from a Backyardigans episode!) :embarassed:

I have this theory that when you get engaged pounds just melt off your body, i've never met a bride who gained weight before their wedding....hahaha so somebody put a ring on my finger because i have 16 pounds to go!

when i had a trainer there wasn't a workout i didn't tell him i hated him and how he wasn't my favorite person. but of course when we were done i always told him how awesome he is.....that's how i lost 50 lbs.

congratulations on your wedding! i'm sure you're going to make a stunning bride
