Hey! I'm looking forward to losing weight and improving my energy. I'm currently feeling very lazy. I've signed up for a 1.76 mile swim in just 2 weeks...I've got to get moving and eating healthier. I'm new to the sight and still getting my bearings here...looking for friends to motivate me and I'll work to motivate you!

    Yeah .... I re-found my motivation once I signed up for a race..Did an 8k and a couple 5k's. I recently found out about myself that if I don't have a date on the calendar to train for I tend to slack off.....so new rule in my house. is always keep a date on the calendar. Helps me keep foucused. Good Luck with your swim...

    as crazy as it sounds...self talk..positive self talk will change that. If you keep telling telling yourself, that you are not motivated you won't be. you have to tell yourself you want it more than this moment, you control your motivation and the thoughts that empower that motivation. Add me as if friend if you would like! Take control of your thoughts, the rest will follow through.
