July’s sizzling giveaways – week 4

Hey, I love giveaways, especially if I’m the winner. As the summer heats up, I could definitely use this for my walks on the beach……….:)

I guess money is the only thing that motivates me! I don’t like exercising but at my TOPS (weight loss) group tonight they announced a contest for exercising and the winner gets $100!! Guess I’ll start a walking program.

grrr, typo in my email above…this is the correct one

To get myself psyched to excercise when I really don’t feel like it, I take out the amazing outfit that I keep in my closet that is one size too small and that usually works.

To get myself motivated I look at my fitness goals that I’ve written down, figure out how much further I need to go and then tell myself that reaching that goal comes one day at a time.

It also helps to look at pictures of myself at my heaviest weight, and I quickly realize that I never want to be that heavy again.

Hey! So to get myself exercising when I really don’t want to, I ask someone to go to the gym with me. That way I’ll have to go!

I don’t give myself much of a chance to think about it or talk myself out of it. When I get out of bed I immediately put my workout shoes and clothes on and work out. Then it’s over, over, over for the day and I’m happy!
Thanks for the giveaway.

This would be perfect for medium length walks/hikes when I (or the kids) will want a little water, but I really don’t want to take a full fanny or back pack.

I hate to admit it, but I’m not very good at motivating myself to workout when I don’t feel like it. It takes shear, brute force to make myself workout when I’m tired or busy, and more often than not, it just doesn’t happen. It’s something I’m trying to work on.
