Looking at your ring for motivation :)

I was on the treadmill last night and I REALLY didn't want to run. I was dragging my feet and was just feeling blah. Then I looked down at the shiny sparkly diamond on my finger and it reminded me that I want to get into my goal wedding dress and look beautiful and feel beautiful :) Then I completed my run and felt better after! Yay!

Does anyone else find themselves doing this?

    I try to picture the dress I want to fit into as motivation! I was contemplating getting a picture of the style I want to bring to the gym with me.

    Saw this post before hitting the gym at lunchtime and found myself using it to get through a particularly wicked part of my bootcamp class. Thanks for posting this. I am DEFINITELY using it to get through that next week!

    Looking at my ring reminds me that losing weight isn't just for me. I want to be healthy and live a good life with my fiance.

    Yes, so many things for motivation, but every time I look and admire my ring, I start thinking about how much money we are spending on the photographer and knowing that I will be having professional pictures done not only for the wedding but also for the engagement (NEXT WEEK AHHHH!), that is definitely motivation enough for me! I'm highly critical of myself in pictures (a terrible trait, I know- I want to move away from it. :-), so being photographed from every angle in pictured that I will have for the rest of my life is motivation plenty for me, heheh.

    Me, too! I have found myself picturing my wedding dress to get through my workouts and staring at my ring to inspire myself to resist snacking. I want to do this for my fiance as well as my future kids. How can I tell them to eat right and exercise unless I set the example?

    Yes completely! I even chose a picture of my ring as my profile photo here on MFP to keep me motivated to log my food each day!

    I do that every time I work out! Not because it's beautiful but it's a step closer to a long future with him.
