Motivation
The older I get, the harder it is to lose weight and get motivated to discover a healthier lifestyle.
A busy schedule that is full of stress too often leads me on a path that ends at the vending machine, ready for that sugar high that will get me through another few hours of work.
A commitment to a healthier lifestyle begins with finding those motivating factors that will sustain you through those late-night cravings or the feeling that a few doughnut holes will provide a deserving reward to the end of a day while watching a little television.
What are the things that motivate you?
For me, a healthier body would be nice, thank you, for starters. Finding relief from muscles that ache constantly and a feeling of overwhelming tiredness and depression that seem to be a reflection of my busy life form which I cannot escape would be a boon.
But enough with these thoughts that it would be good for me. What are my real motivating factors?
For starters, I want to look decent in a swimsuit when I take my soon-to-be 3-year-old for swimming lessons next summer, and just be able to keep up with him in daily play with a back that is not screaming in pain.
