Sorry for the cheese ball quotes. I just really needed to find some ways to motivate myself today. I think that it is very important when you are trying to achieve something to constantly be setting goals. It is not important only to set goals at the very beginning, but throughout the entire challenge whatever it may be. I set some goals at the beginning of my challenge and although they are good and realistic goals, I feel like I need to set some new mini goals for myself to help me trudge through to the end not only to finish, but to finish victoriously, knowing that I gave it my all. I need these goals especially since I have been struggling this week.
WEEK SEVEN GOALS:
1. Go to bed by 11:00 pm (Lately I've been going to bed at like midnight which makes it harder to wake up and workout).
2. Drink 3 water bottles a day. (Only been getting about 1 1/2)
3. 6 meals (Only been getting 5 on average because I wake up too late.)
4. Do workouts in the morning.
5. Get ALL workouts in.

After I went to the gym and had a good sweat it made me realize how much I love the way working out makes me feel. Why do I ever loose motivation to go? I've set my goals and I'm ready to get to them tomorrow mornin'. I'm going to get to bed early so that I can actually get myself out of bed in the morning. Night ya'll!
Cicily :)
It is hard to keep up with goals. Fighting that right now myself so thanks for the motivation.
ReplyDeletedon't get discouraged. That's just how it goes. You know it will get better.
ReplyDeleteCracklin Oat Bran? Yum! I haven't had that in a long time. It's so stinkin expensive. I do miss it though. Mom usually will buy a box and have it waiting for me(well maybe not just for me but I like to think she does) when we visit.
