motivation...

Why is it that I can so easily be unmotivated? I get super excited about losing weight and I HONESTLY intend to do the things that I think in my head... example: eating less, eating healthier, working out, etc. Then one morning I wake up with a nasty head cold that lasts 4 days and suddenly doing anything seems completely out of reach. It makes me crazy.

Although I am still feeling under the weather, I need to get myself back together. So tomorrow is a new day and a the start of a new week. I think I will start with one thing and advance to the next. So tomorrow is my day that I will focus on eating smaller portions and making healthier choices. I will continue to keep track of this on weightwatchers.com. (what a great resource!) Then on Monday I'm going to add some cardio to them mix by hopping on the treadmill and, if weather permits, take my daughter on a walk.

And to add some motivating factors to the mix, here is a challenge to myself! In 7 weeks and 1 day my little family is going on a cruise! So here it is... I challenge myself to lose 15 pounds by April 11! That is a tiny bit more than 2 pounds per week... and I KNOW that I can do that easily with a little work. In fact, I can probably lose more than that! So now I have set a great goal. And I am looking forward to reporting tomorrow on my healthy choices and smaller portions!

Happy Dieting!
