My motivation.

Set your alarm for 6 a.m.  Don't groan when it goes off and pull the covers over your head, get up and start your day.  Put on a baggy top and running shorts.  Go pour yourself a nice big glass of ice water.  Cut up some fruit and mix it with yogurt.  Add some granola.  Now go outside.  Stretch for 10 minutes.  Skip for 5 minutes.  Jog for 10 minutes.  Run for 10 minutes.  Walk back to the beginning.  Lay on the ground.  Proceed to do 50 crunches.  Yes it will hurt when you are done but it will be worth it.  Now climb in the shower.  Use some nice smelling shampoo and matching conditioner.  Shave your legs and wash your body.  Exfoliate your face.  Get out of the shower and let your hair dry.  Look in the mirror.  Do you like what you see?  If you do, good for you.  Do this every day and you will continue to love yourself.  If you don't, do this every day and pretty soon you will.  Being lazy might feel good at the time, but being active feels better in the long run.  How badly do you want it?

This is my motivation.  Between going to the Dells over spring break (hello bathing suit), summer (bikini season), and my sister's upcoming nuptials (standing in front of everyone is a short dress), I have never been more motivated in my life to get into shape.  I don't want to get scary skinny, just fit.  A little toned in my arms, a little tinier in my waist, and a little thinner in my thighs.  I figured if I can motivate myself to keep this up by hitting each goal (spring break-March, summer-June, and the wedding-October) then not only will I be rewarding myself with a kick ass body but maybe, just maybe, I will treat myself to a new pair of shoes.  So if I can do this, me, a candy loving, T.V. watching, carb-o-holic, then why can't anyone else do it too.  Sure my personal words can only hit you so deep but take what I wrote on top and print it out.  Put it over your bed.  Stick it on you mirror in the bathroom.  Hang it on the door of your closet.  Cause maybe if you read it enough it will cause you to want to do it.  Do it once a week, then work to twice a week, and then eventually you will be doing it every day.  I have faith in you just like I have faith in me!
