Try Try Again!

Ok..so this is a post by Monica. And it's about motivation. Or lack thereof. :) Sorry it has been so long since the last post..it was a combo of being out of town, holidays and laziness! Here's the deal: I lost five pounds (Hooray) and then gained three back (booooo) and somehow in the midst of all of it I lost motivation. I am a roller coaster when it comes to eating healthy and working out..one week I'm on it, the next I'm stuffing my face with pizza, donuts and soda.

So my question is.... What motivates you?? What gets you up in the morning to go to the gym? What makes you chose a chicken salad over pizza??

Is it healthy competition? (rachel is currently in a workout competition at the MAC..whoever logs the most hours wins some cash.. go rachel go!!) Is it signing up for a race? Is it the thought of wearing a bathing suit on white sandy beaches?! (I just booked a 9 day vacation in Hawaii for May!)

I'm ready to get up off my butt and get fit! I have decided I need to sign up for a race..having something to train for always helps me get motivated. Anyone want to run the Shamrock 8k with Rachel and I?! Always better when you have someone with you!

Alright gang..let's get back in it together. If you slipped up a little during the holidays that's ok! So start drinking water, get to the gym and PUT DOWN THAT COOKIE!

You know what they say... If at first you don't succeed, try try again.

cheers! -monica
