    Say something to motivate me

    edited February 27 in Health and Weight Loss
    I have been so busy with my sons first birthday party that I have fallen off the wagon a bit for the last 4 or 5 days.

    What is something you would tell me to kick my *kitten* back into gear?

    (This post is just for good fun, obviously I have not completely fallen off the wagon, I just want to hear everyone's motivational thoughts :) )

      take a step back, look at where you are and where you want to be. the short lived satisfaction of eating junk food and slacking off on exercise is so minimal compared to the feeling of reaching those health and fitness goals that you set for yourself

      you said it was your sons first birthday... how great would it be to be able to take him to the park or the beach and be able to keep up with a young kid (who always have a ton of energy) and play with him all day, as opposed to getting tuckered out fast and having to cut the day short. and think of the example that you could set for him, dont you want to be the best you can be to encourage him to do the same?

      Do what i do....Strip and stand in front of a mirror...

      If you are 100% happy with what you see then to hell with it...

      If you are not...

      Last time I "fell off the wagon" I went from 190lbs to 260lbs. Nip it in the bud now, even maintain for a while, but don't go full weight gain :P

      Write out a cheque for $100 for the political party you most dislike, and post date it for one year from now. Put it somewhere you'll see it every day (ie noticeboard etc). One year from now, either send the cheque if you weigh more than your current weight, or rip it up if you weigh less.

      That would do it for me.

      Think about why you started in the first place…

      That's a really interesting idea

      Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice.

      How bad do you want this? If you want it - you'll do it. If you don't - you won't. Simple.

      I can't.
      If you can't motivate yourself, it's not going to happen.

      In the immortal words of my Army Uncle...."Off yer *kitten*, on yer feet...outta the shade and into the heat!!"
      He always told us that when we would slack doing something, or drag our feet.

      So what's your excuse for next week? Life is going to carry on around you, make your health doable day in, day out. Fit it in, be as creative as your excuses. Or as Master Yoda would say "Do or do not, there is no try"

      "“Everything is meaningless,” says the Teacher, “completely meaningless!”

      What do people get for all their hard work under the sun? Generations come and generations go, but the earth never changes. The sun rises and the sun sets, then hurries around to rise again. The wind blows south, and then turns north. Around and around it goes, blowing in circles. Rivers run into the sea, but the sea is never full. Then the water returns again to the rivers and flows out again to the sea. Everything is wearisome beyond description. No matter how much we see, we are never satisfied. No matter how much we hear, we are not content."

      If you kinda sorta workout....you kinda sorta get results.

      Focus on your goals, make YOURSELF a priority.

      You'll do it for a stranger - but not for your friends?

      This is a community where we are supposed to support each other kindly reach up yer but and extract the stick.

      aaaand....

      Born
      Into a pack
      There's no choice
      But take orders to attack
      Locked up in chains
      I get fed
      But the hunger still remains
      Not content to live this way
      Being led by the blind
      Got to plan my dispersal
      Time to leave them all behind
      Breaking out of my pain
      Nothing ventured -- nothing gained
      I'm my own master now

      Overly dramatic and testosterone fueled I know but them lyrics never fail to get me moving XD

      This ALSO motivates me to get my *kitten* moving...

      I can have excuses, or I can have results. Not both!

      A. of all: So, why exactly do you get to dictate what the community is used for?
      B. is what I said not motivational? Some people are motivated by comments like that, and since the op didn't specifically request hearts and flowers, you can kindly kiss my *kitten*.

      Well, that wasn't very supportive.

      Sorry .. I can't ... the stick's in the way.

      And I don't get to "dictate" anything. If you're so determined to be like that go ahead. Just don't expect to approve of being rude to perfectly reasonable people who just want some encouragement.
