Good Morning Everyone!!! :)

I hope you all had a great weekend....and are ready to power through this new week!! :)

I know a lot of people (including myself) experience the 'Mondays' syndrome....feeling tired, worn out, and just plain old NOT READY to start another week....

Well, lets all take a deeeep breath, put a smile on our faces (come on, even if you have to force it, put a smile on your little face!), and chose to make today a FABULOUS Monday!!!!

Lately, I've been thinking about how short our lives truely are...and I am refusing to waste an ENTIRE DAY feeling icky and sluggish...even if it IS a Monday.

So, lets all remember what our motvations are for being here.....to get healthy? to lose weight? to fit into a swim suit(summer is just around the corner people!!).....and lets NOT waste today....lets NOT let "Monday" force us into feeling like grumps...:)

Have a great day everyone....you are worth it....so lets power through this day!! :)
Toodles!

    AMEN!!

    I'm stressed and my nerves are shot, but my motivation is that it's going to be about 80 degrees here today, I can't wait to clock out and go take a run outside!! - For health and happiness :flowerforyou:

    And life is WAY too short not to live it up!

    Happy Monday to you!!

    My motivation is getting "ME" back! Somewhere along the way I lost me, and found a fat girl! But I'm finding ME again! YAY! :wink:

    My motivation for getting out of bed this morning and usually every other week day morning is my wife. Because if I don't, she will start pushing me out of bed! She's the morning person, I most definitely am not.

    So great! Thanks for sharing! Mondays don't get to me, Tuesdays are my nemesis. I will definately have to reread this tomorrow to get me in the right frame of mind.:flowerforyou:

    So glad it's spring - spending time, moving my body, outside it what I look forward to every day; Monday or not!:smile:

    Great sentiments expressed in this forum!

    I love this post!!! Anyone can have a bad day, but I hate the stigma around Monday for no reason other than starting the week again. I think it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

    If you believe it's going to be a bad day, it probably will be AND if you believe it's going to be a good day, it will be! :)

    Thanks for the positivity!!

    I had to share this quote I just read.....:happy:

    “Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.”
    Kahlil Gibran quotes

    Love this post.

    "Looks like someone has a case of the Mondays!!" Hahah I love that line. Anyway, my motivation on Mondays (especially the first one after spring break like today!) is the thought of a brand new, fresh week! It's a blank canvas! I'll do anything to keep it clean and steady! I don't want to mess up my new week!
