Motivation

Hmmm. Took my boys to McD's for lunch and I ordered a cheeseburger. Wonder why I did that? I did order the yogurt parfait instead of the fries. Although I don't think the yogurt thing is that great for you either. So I'm questioning where my motivation went. I'll find it again. Just lost it a little after traveling last week and not being in the groove and regular routine.

Actually, I do have one big motivator. We just booked a cruise and we leave in just under one month. Hubby and I are going to the Western Caribbean with stops in Mexico. Part of me wants to kick some serious butt, lose 5 pounds this month and then I think I'd be ready for a bikini on the cruise. The other part of me thinks I probably can't do all of that in one month so to keep my bikini goal for this summer as planned.

Find the motivation, Kristi!!!

On that note, I'm off to exercise.

The bikini is totally doable... just have to want it... cause it won't be fun or easy or involve any cheeseburgers.
Thanks for your comment on my blog. I was feeling a little... well.. MAD when I wrote it.
I joined this group for support. Not to have someone tell me I'm crazy and try to feed me a line about what is and isn't healthy for me, (which by the way.. I'm not buying). It's nice to get a response like yours. I expressed my anxiety and isolation because I thought it was probably pretty normal for a person who is going through such a dramatic life change!
THANK YOU!!!

You sound like me only the other day I got a Quarter Pounder. I think we have to accept that those moments are going to happen and then just juump right back on the weight loss journey. I think you the bicini thing is doable too. Do you have a picture of yourself in a bikini when you were smaller? You should totally put it up somewhere you can see it everyday to help you "see" what you are working for!

Oh have you tried the Grilled Chicken Southwest salad? I love it and it usually is my choice if we go to McDonalds. My problem is we only have a Burger King with a playland. I sneak the salad from McDonads in in my diaper bag. lol! It is so good!
