...the tough get going.

Bit of a motivational thread here really.

What's your favorite thing to do that spurs you on if you start feeling weakened / bored of your commitment to goals?

To get the thread going, here's some of my suggestions:

- Prep tomorrows diary and make it better than today's
- Reflect on my previous posts
- Take a new photo and compare it with an old one/the previous one
- Get up and out and about and do something fun/different.

Tonight I'm going to check out the cross fit gym at the fort by us for a change.

    Nothing beats the motivation of momentum! It feels good to make healthy choices every day! Nice thread!

    I find that God/the universe/whatever-you-believe-in puts things in my life if I will only look around and notice them.

    For example: in my email this morning - How to Stick to a Habit When Life Falls Apart http://zenhabits.net/bumps/ It starts with a quote that right now I need to hear: ‘If you’re going through hell, keep going.’

    I won't go into details, but my life is really falling apart right now. This was exactly what I needed, at exactly the right time.

    Thanks! I thought I'd stress the positive - should probably add:

    - messaging MFP friends seeing how their getting on for the day/week
    - setting news goals and adding these to my profile
    - working out how to fund/gift myself a present for achieving a new goal hehe
    - finding like minded people on MFP using the search facility or reading the POSITIVE threads on the forums (thought I would add one by starting this thread :wink:)
    - questioning my successes by looking at trends in habits

    I love when I finish a weekly goal and I can start a new set of goals. I love to think about my meal for tomorrow, and how good I can make it and how much I will eat. Reaching my goals and getting a reward!

    I got something to tell you
    I got something to say
    I'm gonna put this dream in motion
    Never let nothing stand in my way
    When the going gets touch
    The tough get going

    I'm gonna get myself 'cross the river
    That's the price I'm willing to pay
    I'm gonna make you stand and deliver
    And give me love in the old-fashion way
