I am looking to shed a few pounds and get into a healthier me. After going through a divorce and being single mom to 3, I let myself go a little. My profile picture is the me I would like to get back to. I have about 20 pounds to go and will need a little help staying motivated as most nights I just want to sleep and most mornings I struggle to get out of bed just to make it to work on time. Hoping to find a routine and stick with it.

    You've outlined your goals and identified some of your weaknesses! Finding a routine that you can stick to will take some time.

    A study conducted by University College London, found on average it took participants 66 days of doing the same activity for it to become a habit. It may sound challenging, but working out releases endorphins so eventually you'll find yourself enjoying and looking forward to your workouts!!

    Good luck!!

    Good luck and don't be discouraged! I'm going through a divorce also feel free to add me if you need support.
