I am motivated!
I have been taking this wellness class that has us sign a behavior change contract where we change a health behavior. You set a measurable goal and break it into smaller goals and pick rewards for the accomplishment of each small goal and the end goal. I am trying to decide if it should be to lose 20 lbs. in 12 weeks or run a 5K in 12 weeks. I know that a 5K doesn't sound like much to you marathon runners but that would be huge for me since I am not a runner. I am a fast walker! ;) I am also way out of shape so that would be good for me to work towards. I would probably lose the weight by working out so much and it would be a pretty specific goal. My eating habits aren't really the issue for me, it is the exercise that I can't seem to do. I will let you know what I decide because I need to figure it out this weekend. My weight is at a standstill right now so I know that I need to kick it into high gear now. I hope that you are all doing great!

I think that is great Shelly. I am having the hardest time exercising. I just need to get the motivation. I do not know why I am having such a hard time. I will keep trying though. Love you!
ReplyDeleteShelly,
ReplyDeleteUnless you have a specific goal in mind to help you lose that 20 # it might be better to go for that 5K. I started running, because I saw all these people losing weight and transforming their bodies just by running. I said, "Hey I can do that. I hated running before and I couldn't even run a mile. So I started by just being able to run for 30 minutes. Before I knew it I was running 5K's every time I ran. I just kept improving my 30 minutes and started adding on more and more time until, hey I ran a half marathon. It also helps to cross train twice a week. I lost weight faster that way. I am just trying to keep the motivation right now. Good luck.
