In need of support and encouragement

I am the world's biggest procrastinator! Why in the world do something today that you can put off until tomorrow, right? I have found that what I need to do is mentally yell at myself to get stuff done. I exercise in the mornings or I won't do it at all. It's not easy, but just push yourself to do it, no matter what. And take it one day at a time. Don't tell yourself that you are going to do this everyday, just tell yourself that today you are going to eat well and exercise!

You can do it! Just take that step...

And add me as a friend if you would like!

Well for me...seeing progress and feeling better about myself really helps with my motivation. In the beginning I hit some plateaus and was very, very frustrated and wanted to quit, but I didnt. I kept at it and finally things started moving along again. Also, having a workout buddy can be a really good way to stay accountable, as long as they are serious about getting fit too and not going to help you justify not going to the gym. As far as the eating goes...look in some cookbooks and find ideas of low calorie meals that you would enjoy and tweak the ingredients to make them work for you and your family. I tend to eat the same few things alot, but change up the vegetables and meats that I incorporate into those meals so that I don't get bored. Getting healthy can be fun and the high I get after working out makes me wonder why I haven't been living like this my whole life!! Best of luck to you
