Motivational Thread

[#1]

Need some motivation? Some energy and push to get something done? Post here!! Let's help each other out! = )

My main thing is working out and eating healthy. Well, I eat pretty healthy, but tend to snack late, especially with my husband since he gets home later in the evenings from work.

I need motivation to stop eating after 7pm and working out regularly, at least 4-5 times a week!

'Those damn kids are selling my golf balls again Mary!'

I need motication to make my bed and tidy my room. In general I am a tidy person, but sometimes, I let it slip. And I have been meaning to tidy my room for over a week. And still haven't done it.

I do it tomorrow..... (no I won't) I just can't be bothered. It has been one of those lazy weeks for me.

Katie,

Just start little by little. Maybe start and tidy up one section of your room and then tomorrow tidy up another section.

ok mum....

[Former_Member]

Andi,

Thanks for the info on the book. Did Southbeach last year and found that after two weeks without sugar, it did get easier but I am also one of those that would rather eat dessert instead of steak.

Gum really does help beat the craving and especially good is the Trident with Xylitol.

[Former_Member]

LMAO @ Katie! Yes, listen to your mum!!

[Former_Member]

oOO I love dessert and steak. mmmmmm

I have tidied a little bit of my room.. so far... lol

[Former_Member]

= D it's a start!!!!

[Former_Member]

I don't know where to begin.....I have had 5 sales in the last week alone, am getting a custom order for 7 of my little bear friends, had almost 3x the views I get normally now that I have figured out stumble upon and wanelo AND my restaurant called me today. They are finally starting to pick up so I am going back to work!!!!!

[Former_Member]

:O you can do it!

And what is stumble upon?

[Former_Member]

I've been working out now on a regular basis for the past week and am seeing some results! Wooohoo! My eating habits have gotten better too!

[Former_Member]

Good job Jacque! Thats a great feeling I am sure! I have taken to eating salad from one of the local fast food places or the bar downstairs (sadly the best place in town for a salad). I practically live in my office now so maybe its time to invest in a fridge.

Jealous...still have not been able to get my button moving...:)

[Former_Member]

Thanks so much!!! I know Jessica, it was hard to get started. But after that first day, I felt so good and now I have an itch for it, lol.

[PlainJBodyandHome]

Very true...I was just talking to Mom about that the other day. The first week is the hardest and after that, you just start to feel better and WANT to do it...:)

[PlainJBodyandHome]

oh...and I meant to say get my butt moving, not button (damn kindle) :)

[Former_Member]

So true, especially about the 1st week. Now I do look forward to it. And now that I see small results, I'm like YES!

[PlainJBodyandHome]

I am vowing right now that as soon as I get back from my road trip to visit my family...I am getting my ass to work out...:)

[Former_Member]

They say it takes two weeks to develop a habit. The first week is defintely the hardest

[Former_Member]

Come back from a weekend away for a friends wedding... never been so happy to see my bed!

[Former_Member]

Hahaha Katie!! OMG, NOTHING like your own bed!

[Former_Member]

I HATE sleeping anywhere but my own bed. And when I stay in hotels if has to be nicer than my own or I am not going. What can I say? I am a spoiled girl. Glad you are back Katie. I missed ya!

[Former_Member]

It was horrible!!! The wedding itself was lovely. I made a small blog about it on my website:

www.uniquelyyoujewellery.co.uk

Me and the family stayed in a caravan park in Blackpool, because we had my nieces - who weren't invited to the wedding, but only the after party. So we decided to stay in this caravan resort so the kids are entertained when we are at the wedding. We rented two caravans. Both were very up market. Quite nice actually - but still, narrow beds, waffer thin walls, etc etc... Each night was disturbed by drunk ladies and men coming back from their clubs in blackpool. And they were always shouting. One group in particular were having a huge arguement directly outside my caravan at 4.22 am!!! She kept saying, ; Kirstie you're a liar, Kirstie!!' So now my family have adopted the 'term' Kirstie as not had a good night sleep.

Got home and I slept like a baby - no Kirsties! :)

[Former_Member]

I agree with you Andi. I am never staying in a caravan again! And I got a cold!!!

[Former_Member]

Poor Katie! I am glad you are back to your own bed! I have been sleeping for crap because I came down with a horrible cold after the craft show. Sigh. I wish good sleep for all of us!

[Former_Member]

Having a cold sucks! I have just taken some night nurse, so hopefully that will knock me out for the night. Good night all!
