What helps me is I write it down like an appointment - for example - signing up for a once a week spin class. This way I know I will go and I have allotted the time for it. I also print a block monthly calendar and will write my workouts on it - Tuesday walk dog 40 min, Thursday jog 3miles, Saturday - longer run, etc. Sunday rest. Then I can check things off. Something about writing it down - it really helps and works. I will be honest, I get tired, I get grumpy and sometimes all I want to do is sit on the couch with my 80 pound lap dog and chill. But 9 times out of 10 when I get in my scheduled workouts, I am happier, more patient, sleep better, etc. I have not lost a lot of weight on the WLC but I know I have stuck to logging my foods, and getting in some great exercise. I feel better today then I did on Jan 4th. Hope these words help a bit eb9933.

Honestly, that is not my problem at present. I wish I had more time for exercise, more energy for exercise, &, above all, I wish the snow would melt so I could run & ride my bike. I am barely getting any exercise in & I have not lost any weight in the Challenge. The $$$ is one of my reasons for doing it, so I am not lacking in motivation at all at present. I hope the motivation is still there when there is no $$ incentive & when the snow finally melts!
