    Y as in why? Hmmm, I love life so waking up is a piece of cake. And I do not workout everyday because I hate it. I do what I have to though to maintain. :)

    what is my motivation to wake up? um... I have little dogs licking my face & ears maniacally and am afraid they will make a meal of me if I don't keep moving.
    I get motivation from my land-lord once a month - it keeps me on the treadmill that is my life

    my motivation is my health, my strength and wanting to live the best life i can possibly live. i spent 6 years in a very dark, abusive, painful place where i withdrew and numbed myself with over 200 lbs of fat. my motivation is that place that i NEVER want to slide into again.

    my reason for working out every day... i love the endorphin high i feel afterwards, and i love to sweat.

    Motivation to get out of bed is usually fear I'll wet the bed if I don't.

    My motivation to wake up every morning is that every morning that I do wake up is a gift of life to celebrate.
    The reason I work out every day is so that I can wake up every morning.
    “Y”? Because is sure beats the alternative.

    My motivation for getting up in the morning is that it is a new day and anything can happen!

    The reason I work out every day is that I can.

    My "Y" is being healthy for myself and my family. Last year I beat the crap out of an aggressive form of breast cancer (had a 50/50 chance). I am not going to waste any moment of the rest of my life wallowing in fat. I deserve better!

    My two handsome little boys. I want to be around to watch them grow up to be old men. I want them to remember their Mommy playing with them and not just sitting in front of the tv (like their Daddy does, unfortunately). I want them to remember me being strong. And I want them to be proud to say I'm their Mom.

    One way or another, it all comes back to sex. Yes, sex. When you're eating the right foods and working out, you're in better shape for sex. You're more attractive, hence more likely to have sex. You feel more confident, hence more likely to wear sexy sh!* underneath your clothes so you FEEL sexy, therefore more likely to have sex. You have more stamina and flexibility, hence more likely to perform better at sex. After all this sex, I'll eventually get pregnant and when I do, I want to be in the best shape possible so my kids have the best chances of being healthy. I'll have to stay in shape so I can set the example for them all their lives, and all the while, I want to continue to look good and have mindblowing sex with my husband. I need longevity!! In order to achieve that, I'll need to stay healthy and part of that is having great sex, and part of having great sex is staying healthy. It's a never ending cycle.
