Michigan but someday in SoWal as well
Hang in there, IWIWT! I'll be so sad when our kids move on (though I'm fantasizing about going to SoWal more then), but think of this as time to spoil yourself and "love yourself" by focusing on good health! Easier said than done, of course. But the phrase "love yourself" really resonated with me (I read it in Oprah magazine) and it gets me to the trainer and exercising. I see that time exercising as time that's all about me rather than about taking care of others. Watching the diet is a bit harder I think, but worth it. So, remember that these months are "all about you".

Ok soweller's .....walked/jogged last night in the FREEZING COLD and stayed under my 20 points once again. I am trying so hard to lose about ten pounds before Feb 24th when my niece Maggie is getting married. Right now that is my motivation and my drive!!!!! I do not want to ever feel like or look like what I did at Christmas, I am only five foot two, so every little pound looks like twice the ammount on me. I plan on looking like a hot mama in Seagrove this July!!!!!!:clap_1: HOPEFULLY:roll:

KEEP UP THE ENERGY EVERYONE !!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!:D

As for me I need to abandon this thread. I cannot remember a time when I have had less desire and willpower..... and it is not as if I look good! Just sent my girl off to study abroad and she won't return until late May.:bang: I am excited that she has this opportunity, but miss chatting or texting. SO what do I do........you guessed!! Eat and flip channels. Not a good way to live.:eek: Maybe reading each of your successes will inspire me.

Keep going strong!!

Iwish: you are going to miss that baby of yours for sure. for now, you may need to indulge yourself a little and not feel guilty about it. give yourself a break!!! motivation will come to you when you are ready. read some oprah mags or inspirational books or just watch some good movies. I know you'll get inspired by all of the women on this thread and you'll get yourself back on track... but don't beat yourself up. give yourself a break okay??? :love:

not wise, but just common sense! I can identify with iwish, can't you all? I've found myself in a place (more than once) where I just can't feel motivated to do what I know I need to do for myself. It will pass.

Iwish - go get a facial or pedicure or massage! do something nice for you.

What she said. I really need someone to come up here and kick me in my arse to get motivated. Every morning while getting dressed, I say to myself, next month these clothes are going to feel a little looser. Well, it has been a few months sense I feel of the sowell wagon and I really need to get motivated again. I have to before March!!!!!!

Way to go SGL, keep it up girl!!!!
