    My biggest motivation has been writing down WHY I started, and referring back to that whenever it gets tough. I absolutely love what I do for workouts, and that is TREMENDOUS help. I have a whole cheerleading support section of friends and family that helps along the way! I try new workouts, and if I hate it? I just move right along. I am doing this to be healthy, fit, & HAPPY! And I am not happy doing yoga, so I don't make myself do it :). I got really obsessive about researching fitness pictures and quotes and put them up all over the place.

    And, I remember, that yes, it is lovely to be cheered on by people. But, at the end of the day it comes down to wanting it. And I want this, then I work for it. Pure and simple.

    You can add me if you ever need any extra motivation! Sometimes just knowing you're accountable to someone else totally helps me out!

    Thanks! I am so thankful for before & during pictures! It is really good to be able to see the changes. I get so used to seeing my body EVERY day. But, I really feel like those pictures show two different people !

    Working out absolutely makes me happy! And you just really have to do what you love! I took up running. And then I got really obsessed with running music finds. So, there are plenty of times when I'm mouthing the words of songs as I am running along. I told a friend that, for me, running gives me the same sensation as driving with the my windows rolled down and the music turned up. It is just a freedom I can't recreate!

    Thanks! I'm all about the reality that if I can do it, ANYONE can!
