I'm slipping

go to the gym today and do something. Anything. For any length of time. Just get dressed and go. The more time you take off the lower your motivation will be.

jog in place. it's easy, and you can watch whatever you want on TV for enjoyment. i warn you though, when you jog in place, ONE MINUTE seems like an HOUR!
also, some more ways to motivate yourself: picture yourself at your goal weight and think about it. you're not going to get there by doing nothing, right? people have said this to me before and i've just been like "blah blah yeah yeah i know already!!" but it never really sunk in until i decided to let it sink it. just realize that you CAN do it no matter what you tell yourself. You can tell yourself, "I'm going to get up and go for a jog today." and either DO IT or not do it. it has a lot to do with changing your mindset. I had the WORST mindset before. I didn't wanna do it, I thought i COULDN'T do it, actually getting up and walking out the door to go for a jog sounded a lot harder than it really is. I was too lazy. and then, one day, i decided... NO MORE EXCUSES. LET'S DO THIS! you just have to force yourself into the right mindset. and if you think it's hard getting into a brand new, motivated, pumped-up mindset, just remember that you're the only one keeping you from getting into that mindset. push ALL your negative feelings aside, and fill yourself up with good, motivated feelings.
you CAN do this. deep down, you know it. now you just gotta DO it.

good luck, babygirl!

You know what helped me when I needed that pick me up. Start getting dressed to workout. Once your dressed, there's no need not to workout.

Sometimes it's that "hard workout" that puts you into that mode. It was hard, I was tired after it. I don't have the energy to do that workout again.

Perhaps some lighter type of workout 10-15 mins here and there to help get motivated.

Someone from the biggest loser said this, and it sunk in.
" I'll find myself watching 3 hours of tv every day, but I would say I didn't have time to workout."

That was me before:grumble: N
Now, I'll go do my hour of walking, THEN I can watch tv or get on the internet.

My first long walks, I would think this is long, i'm tired, my legs are sore. But I just push through, one foot in front of the other. I take my MP3 player and that definately helps me.

So here's a push!!!:flowerforyou:
Once you read these messages. Go out for a 15-30 min walk. You can read more messages when you come back.

Just do something special you like to do, even just going to get a hair cut and getting a new bathing suit was enough to get me out of the house and motivated to not think about the food in the house and focus on relaxing with a cup of tea or coffee, visiting a friend or helping someone else helps you. Not to mention stop thinking so hard about the goal and think about living life for today eating healthy today and getting a 30 minute work out in with some great music and move your body. The weight will come off weather you think about it or not...
