Motivation by Beef…..

LeanerBeef

I was bored last night so I started going through some of my old forum posts. It’s was kinda funny seeing the one’s from when I first started on here and some of the posts that are just ridiculous –I’m not always as funny as I think. But I grabbed this one, it was meant to inspire someone and reading it last night inspired me. It’s hard to maintain the same focus and drive as when you first start, I always compare it to new love – you can’t get enough in the beginning but in order to make it last, you need to work at it. If you’re feel that you’re stuck, look back and see what you have accomplished. Revisit your end goals and remember it’s not going to be easy to get there. Most importantly – DO THAT WORK PEOPLE!! Here’s the original post – check the date June 8, 2011, that was about a month into this journey. Thanks to all that help me maintain my focus….

Topic: You Need Some Motivation??? Wed 06/08/11 10:04 PM
Here’s your motivation – it’s over 90 degrees and very humid, especially for June. I just did my 40 minute power walk and then walked straight into the gym and lifted some weights for another 45 minutes. I feel great, like I could do the whole thing again right now! I’ve only been at this for about a month and still weigh over 300lbs –not for long….If my fat *kitten* can do it, so can you! Get up & move it! Yeah, it’s only a month in and I am obviously excited, hopefully I can keep this momentum going indefinitely. Don’t doubt me, I’m gonna get there…and don’t doubt yourself. Do it!!!

The most motivating thing about this post is that you're still at it Beef.

Love it. Look at what you have already accomplished. You are still very much motivated, and encourage and inspire me each day.
You are in it for the long haul, and you are doing SO GREAT. Keep it up, B. You're awesome.

Apologies to anyone that might have been mislead to believe that this post was about steak or some other form of delicious meat, other than myself. Next time I write a post about having a steak, I will title it exercise. ;-)
