I've been staying away from the board lately because I just haven't been in much of a mood to stick to this new life style.. I just can't seem to get my motivation up.. I haven't exercised in about a month and my eating has gone hog wild.. I was maintaining for awhile but now it's starting to creap back up.. I want so bad to lose more weight so why can't I get my motivation up? I look at my treadmill and almost tell it out loud to "go to h***"... I can't walk outside because I do daycare and I wouldn't be able to walk fast enough if I took all the kids with.. All I feel like is sitting on my BIG hind-end and eat,eat,and eat some more.. I try to tell myself that I can do it but it just doesn't seem to work.. Sure wish there was a magic pill that gave you motivation.. Well,,maybe there is but I don't think I want to take it..
Sorry...just needed to vent..I'm hoping if I start back on the board it will get me motivated again..
Hugs,
Pam

Hi Pam, you need some inspiration! I got my inspiration when I saw a fantastic outfit on a manaquin at the mall (I would want it in my slim - but not as slim as the manquin size though) - this outfit reminded me of one I wore to school in my senior year - and how I looked so great on the first day back and everyone complemented me. I want that feeling again - so I'm going to go for it!
You might like to get an inspriation picture of yourself perhaps at a slimmer size and post it on the fridge, or a picture of yourself when you were happy and carefree.
I feel for you having to do daycare and not being able to take a power walk when you would like too. Perhaps you can take the kids on bicycles while you walk to keep up with them?

The board is a good place to start getting your motivation back. I didn't excercise on my eliptical this morning or last night as I'm home alone and didn't do much but play video games last night. Then I was late for work this AM cause I was consoling a friend whose dog died.
But, I'm gonna sweat my a$$ off tonight when all your kids are gone from day care.
Wanna join me.
For me, excercise is the whole key. When I work so hard to make my body better, somehow it just doesn't make sense to but garbage in it. Not only that, but after a good workout, I'd much rather drink water than eat (a rare occurance in my life).
Anyway, I hope you'll take me up on my invite and jump on your treadmill while I jump on my eliptical.
Good luck,
Eric

Ok.. I'll join you... you put your eliptacal machine in front of my treadmill and I'll see if I can catch you.. LOL
Thanks for getting me off my butt..as soon as these kids leave I'm on the treadmill... I'm going to walk these pounds off me if it takes the rest of my life.. hopefully sooner but I'm not going to give up..

I also do in home childcare and I do my walking in the late evening,although these last 2 nights I have not been at all(tonite I am dragging my behind out the door). Sometimes I'll do my excersise video when the kiddos are napping,mine all nap for 2 hours.I gotta get my butt back into the groove too,or I won't lose anything(but my motivation).LOL
