I'm looking for something to get me motivated, and it's not working. I know music would but my phone is a POS and doesn't play music, and I don't have anything else that would play music while on a walk or running. I'll be able to get something in a couple weeks but I need ideas for until then. Any ideas?!?!?!

    I have a bikini hanging on my wall, it's the first thing I see when I go into my bedroom and that's my motivation. I want to fit into it next summer.

    I don't listen to music when I jog, it helps me concentrate on my pace and I can keep an ear out for people trying to pass me on the trails.

    1. Think of every teacher you can remember in order ... from K through high school. What did you like best about him her? What did you like least?

    2. Think of every family vacation in chronological order you can remember. Where did you go? Did you go to a new restaurant? What was the best memory each particular vacation?

    3. Think of your first date with everyone you've ever dated. Where did you go? What did you do?

    4. Think of the best night of your life ... be careful, those watching you run will wonder what you're thinking about. :)

    5. Think about all the places you wish to visit. Which countries? Which states? Which cities? What do you want to do at each location?

    6. Think about the best gifts you ever given to people. How did they react?

    7. Think about the best gifts you ever received for as far back as you can remember.

    8. Think about the holiday that is most attended and celebrated by your family. Who is the one who always makes an *kitten* of him/herself? What foods can you count on being there?

    9. Think about every field trip you've ever attended? Pumpkin patches to overnight class trips? Who threw-up? Who got kissed? Who got lost? Who did you sit by and eat lunch with?

    10. Look at the sights, listen to the sounds, and smell the air that you're breathing while running. Soak up the experience.
  • I think about reaching my mini goals and my ultimate goal of bikini shopping. That always gets me going.
