Guest guest Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Linet ~ 4 kids...WOW!! You must be supermom!! I struggle with 2. What worked for me was to view that hour I workout as ME time. My quiet time to think and do something good for myself. I found the easiest way to do this to get up early (which I hate..I'm a nite owl too). I know myself well enough that if I don't do it 1st thing it probably won't get done. I feels so good after my shower and I know its DONE!! It really puts me in a good mood the rest of the day. Sometimes you just have to DO IT. I does become routine after a while, as I'm sure you remember. Here is an article from that might help you: The 4 Week Freakout http://skwigg.tripod.com/id40.html and this: http://skwigg.tripod.com/id63.html Look around her website. She has lots of great info!!

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Linet - Beating yourself up will not help! We need to learn to be nice to ourselves. I've been reading a lot about that in the books by Geneen Roth. She really explains that overeating is often done to protect us from things we don't want to deal with - it's a cast on a broken sense of self. You'll be fine once you are ready - n At 11:36 AM 10/28/2005, you wrote: ><SNIP> I beat myself up >about how much i gained with this baby instead of just saying to myself that >i am at a good start to a healther me.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 > > I'm starting afresh. When I stepped on the scale on Monday, I was my last, lowest weight +6lbs. I theorize that it's from reading all the " diet " related books I've read in the last month, along with the 6 to 8 week post-operation recover period. I was eating not so good and sitting on my bum, the small gain is no surprise. However, I am pleasantly surprised that it was a less significant gain than I had imagined. The " disaster center " of my brain, you know the thinking place that tends to light up like Chernobyl 1986 whenever unpleasant things occur in life, had me expecting a much higher number. > > Anyway, as I said, I'm starting the podcasts all over again and I listened to episode 1 yesterday. Afterward, I wrote down my away from and towards motivations in my journal and I thought I'd share them. > > " I want to move away from fat rolls, size 18 jeans, frequent bad food choices, a sedentary lifestyle, and excess stress - towards a slim healthy body, 120lbs, frequent healthy food choices, vitality and fitness, and personal peace. " > > I posted them to my blog too; www.ora-normous.livejournal.com/ > > Anyone else care to share theirs? For me, my intention is to release this weight easily and effortlessly. My second intention is to Have my body's metabolism burn the calories effectively and burn the stored calories as well easily also. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 this is from Jillian s Get and Stay Motivated What's your motivation, baby? If you're struggling through your workouts and calorie counting has got you down, try to stay focused on your primary motivators. What's pushing you to lose weight? Is it the thought of slipping on that party dress this holiday season? Do you want to pass the stress test next time you see your doctor? Here's what one of my teammates recently said to another teammate about finding and keeping her motivation: Have an internal discussion and try to pinpoint exactly why you want to lose the weight. Then, make a firm commitment to yourself that you will do what it takes to reach your goal. Keep your goal close at heart at all times, picture it, taste it, feel it and then do the math: track all calories in and track all calories burned. Drink lots of water. Minimize your sodium intake and make your workouts strong and consistent. You have what it takes to reach your goals. Now go for it! Don't let anything or anyone hold you back (including YOU)!

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Way to go . Stay positive and wprk toward your goal. Any idea which podcast that was?? . Thanks! T Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry® motivation I just listened to the podcast about working out and I got so motivated. I made a list of all the things I love about working out. I was feeling jazzed-so good, I thought why not try on those pants that haven't fit me for awhile. Well, they still don't fit and they feel even smaller. Eeeks, note to self..don't try on those pants for a real long time. I am going to try and let it not get me down and keep thinking of this process, emphasis on process. Good luck and lots of love and support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
