    So I don't see red numbers at the end of the day, also the excercise has helped alot with the weight loss!! There have been a few days that I have not felt like working out but glad I did because working out makes a huge difference with my daily mood! :grumble:

    I enjoy, actually love, working out but on those tough days I always think about a quote I saw on pinterist that read: "The only workout you regret is the one you didn't do" and it's so true!

    I work out because i get to be alone, it calms and grounds me.

    Also endorphins and the amazing feeling of small accomplishments.

    sometimes it feels like i could outrun all my everyday problems.

    My calves.

    In the three weeks or so since I started running "for realz," my calves have gotten better defined. So sometimes, when I need motivation, I just roll up my pants legs and rub my calves for a bit. :tongue:

    There have been a lot of other great changes as well (my endurance, my overall feeling of fitness, the energy I have during the day,) but nothing quite so simple and obvious as the new definition in my calves.

    Looking at my baby pecs, my manly arms, my disappearing stomach and my budding abs in the mirror.

    I try to remember that each day that I put it off/skip, that's one day additional from reaching my goal.

    I am looking good, feeling good, and I am a much happier mom. I am proud that I am setting such an awesome example for my daughters.

    I really hate working out. I always think of things I should be doing (like folding laundry or the dishes or cleaning up kid toys) while working out. So when I start to think of these things I think of how much healthier I will be once I reach my GW and everything I will be able to do with my kids.

    I just enjoy lifting weights and pushing myself to the next level. I find it extremely rewarding when I can get that 10 lbs more up. Or power through an extra set, when your mind is telling you that you can't possibly do it. But I know I can .....
