Confession to make

I used to be very active. I used to have a personal trainer and I would work really hard at the gym. But lately I've become lazy and less motivated.

No more excuses. I think I am lazy and I really don't wanna be. I want to be fit and active.

What motivates you to workout?

what motivates me is concentrating on one part of my body I want to change the most. For me it's my arms and legs, more so my arms because summer is coming up and I want toned arms in t-shirts not bingo wings! Everytime I do a workout I feel like I am melting it all away and I am imagining my lovely toned arms.

Also I always feel so much less anxious and more relaxed after I have worked out. So even when I don't feel like it, I get off my butt and do it and concentrate on those feelings of relaxation and wellbeing afterwards.

Have you got anything to work out with at home? At least if you do some working out at home you might find that's easier than making it to the gym as you have not actually got to go anywhere.

The cute guys at the gym motivate me to get in there and exercise!  ;)

My results! And I have a weekend job where I show my stomach, so I want to have a hot tummy for it!

Thanks for your replies!

I'll keep you posted on my progress.

I saw on another post the couch-to-5k running plan. I think I'm going to give it a try.

im the same way :) the best way i keep motivated is three things. One is that bikini i bought out of random that i wouldnt be cought DEAD in the way i am right now! beside it is a framed picture of the boy i love very muchly :) and the next is a before and after picture of my mom with a weight lose of about 120 pounds! :)

I have to agree with wanting to work on my arms and stomach.  Summers in Florida = tank tops and I am so tired of looking at myself with chubby arms.  I have been really trying to strength train my arms esp.  Plus, doing a bit of cardio to speed up the weight loss.

wow, how did she do it? counting calories? 

Well she got really sick. Her dad died six months before her wedding day so the stress of that, planning a wedding, and the fact that her mother was now alone, foreign, and about to be left behind really effected her. My mom and dad were moving from london to toronto because thats where his job was taking him, so she was really worried about leaving her bother alone in london. Thankfully my dads a good guy and asked her to move with them :)
