40 Workouts Down!

Blogdate: 9/9

Workout: Fat Blaster + 3T

40 Workouts- wow. When you look at it that way- that's almost 2 straight days of working out.

Some thoughts on motivation: There were a few weeks there where I was having a really hard time- the slow, tired hungry weeks (4-6). Some days I just told myself all I had to do was put on my clothes, and if I didn't feel like working out then I didn't have to. I will most likely have to use this technique again- I don't think anyone is ever 'cured' from a 'no motivation' standpoint. If anything, it might start getting harder.

In the past, when I've gotten into this size/weight range (right around 160/ size 10) I get happy with how I look and how my clothes fit (I'm 5'7", if you're wondering). I am much better at getting my hinder in gear when I am miserable. At this point it becomes about- "let's see what I can do" instead of "I can't go on this way".

I feel really pumped up about finishing off this rotation! I find it helpful to chunk things down into small goals and name or theme them. This 'Rip You Up' month is really motivating! My 'No Sweets' week was, too. (My 'Diet Soda Diet' not so much, but oh well.)

I'm trying to figure out what to do for the last 4 weeks of my 14. I think Santa is going to have to bring me Turbo Fire. Perhaps I'll dig out some other DVDs and rotate through them.
