Motivation

There's nothing so motivating as trying on clothes.

I have been drifting in the land of apathy. It has been a good two months since I've maintained an exercise routine or a sense of control over my appetite. In fact, I've been the complete opposite and my body is paying for it.

Though I have felt like exercising, at this point the hurdle is the fact that I am out of the habit. I really like getting up in the morning and showering first thing so that I am ready to walk out the door with the boys. I do not want to get up early and exercise though.

I've slowly been pulling things out of our storage unit and the most recent 'treasure' is a tote of clothes. I pulled out a few to try on the other night and discovered that either the clothes were too big or too small. How frustrating. Interestingly, I immediately found my motivation for returning to activity! I want to fit into something!!

Today I found that my craving for junk food had been curbed and I even had the desire to go to the park with the boys and chase them around the playground. The New Year has always been a good time for me to re-boot my health and I think I am mentally ready to do it again this year. Now to decide how and what I'm going to do.....
