Yaay!! I have been taking brisk walks on my lunches and breaks at work this week. I have noticed it gives me a lil energy boost around that drowsy 3:oo period. My goal tonight is to go joggin right after work at 5:00 and then hit the gym but I fear I will be tired. Anyone wanna give me a mini pep talk so I can stick to my early evening goal??

    You can totally make that after work jog and trip to the gym without getting low on energy! You will do awesome, plus it will put you in a great place for refueling your carbs and protein post workout with a great dinner! It always helps me to have the right music playing, upbeat while jogging and slower for strength training. Pick a couple really good songs that get you dying to get out and jog!

    Do you jog regularly? I am training for the Las Vegas half marathon in December!

    i always invision in my head my favorite celeb that I admire... eva longoria... and i envision having her wardrobe... u know... the skinny jeans, high heels, sophisticated top... that right there makes me wanna get on the treadmill to get my sexxi back:) lol... so just think of someone who you would love to have the body of, and literally FEEL like you already look that way when you're running:)

    I think you can do anything you want if you put your mind to it! Make sure you bring water, and maybe a healthy snack before hitting the gym! Fruit slices are perfect little energy boosters. My favorites are apple slices. They are sweet, and tasty, plus they are good for you too! I just finished a 30 minute walk at 2.5 mph. It really does make a difference, and I certainly feel better about myself, and I feel better health wise too. I know that I am working toward a healthier, sexier looking me, and that's motivation enough on its own! Just stay positive, and give yourself some self motivation! Make a goal, and follow through, sister!

    I don't wait to "feel" like working out or "feel un-tired!!" or else I'd never get my rear-end to the gym or out on those walks!! I pretend I'm my own parent and just tell myself, work-out FIRST, don't even THINK about excuses, "just do it" I remind myself of how I feel AFTER it's over.

    After I workout, I feel like a champion. It's an awesome feeling to have accomplished something I'm not exactly fond of. I feel like it's one more step towards my end goal. I have energy like crazy. I feel healthier. I just dwell on all those little things then I go!

    You'll always be tired and have that excuse. Just do it, you'll feel better and less tired after you do it!
