    Watching "The Deadliest Catch" and how hard the guys work, usually sleeping just 3 hours for every 48 hour period... if they can work like that, so can I to achieve my goals.

    I am continually reaching my goals, and I KNOW this is mean, but what keeps me still motivated is that the girls I used to envy are now fat!!



    HA!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm on the "Be the Match" bone marrow donor registery. Between that and being a regular blood donor, I think of staying healthy so that I can help others be healthy.

    This is a great motivation! I'm on the bone marrow donor registery too.

    And It's thanks to selfless blood donors like you that my husband has so far survived a difficult battle with leukemia. So, THANK YOU!!!

    I love Henry Rollins and his 'Get Some Go Again' album keeps me motivated. I want to get some go again, and whenever I hear that song I workout so much harder :-)

    I have a bunch of wackadoo things that I use for motivation:

    1) The first rule of Zombieland is cardio.
    2) I love chilicheeseburgers. I do NOT love heart attacks.
    3) My girlfriends who make me feel like I'm beautiful - I want to live up to their image of me!
    4) Bouldering - I LOVE going bouldering. I HATE that I haven't had the strength to pull my own weight up a rock.
    5) My dogs: i have to be fit enough to wear out my puppy when we play ^__^

    I usually watch a movie while I am working out. But its usually a movie that has people 'working out' in the movie. For some reason I can work out longer like that.

    So, when I started losing weight, gas prices started to go down. I like to tell myself my weight loss is tied to gas prices.

    So far, I started at 212 and gas was $3.57 here. Now I am at 204 and gas is $3.19.

    the fact that i previously lost 40 pounds, so i know i can do it.

    looking at before and after pictures of people helps a lot too.

    I guess you could say I work in sales. The more I sell, the better I feel I need to look, and the better I look, the more I feel I need to sell. It's kind of weird, but the clothes themselves make me want to work harder.

    This might be obvious because of my username, but I love wearing costumes, so wanting to look good in them is one of the things that motivates me :v

    Two words: Tom Welling

    and the thought that if I were ever to meet him I would be able to say hello and be proud instead of diving into a bush and hiding!

    Now that isn't even strange... stupid is more like it! LOL!
