I am feeling lazy this afternoon. Somebody tell me why I should get off my butt and exercise instead of lounging on my couch with my laptop.

    This is all backwards --- you already motivate ME.

    Remember that you have never regretted working out once you're done with it. Will you regret laying around tonight? I would.

    Get up and do a few sets of your favorite exercise (I really like squats and pushups for some reason). Doing a couple sets of them might get you motivated to go do something more.

    Wow. Check your own self-esteem before you bash someone else's body. Thanks!

    Okay. Did 30 minutes on the elliptical machine while watching Jeopardy. I'll do a few crunches, lift a few dumbbells and call it a day.

    I was totally NOT bashing her! Quite the opposite actually!:flowerforyou:

    She looks amazing and deserves a day off if/when she needs it! A body requires rest! :smile:

    As for my self esteem ......its non existent! I checked it! :ohwell:

    I didn't see what they said as bashing. It was complimentary.
    Dont jump to defense right away before getting the full story! :)

    What you wrote comes off equivocally - you could have told her she looks amazing without writing as if she needed "a donut" because it seems to you her "ribs are point out". Think about how that can easily be seen as poorly communicated.

    I hope you find your self esteem, it's needed to succeed as much as a calorie counter. How can we motivate ourselves if we are crushed?
