Its Gone.

Luckily, I escaped the 4th of July without doing too much damage to my diet. The worst thing I did was keep nibbling at these chocolate chip cookies that they kept out the entire time. Ok so maybe I did do some good damage to my diet. Its over now though so there's nothing I can do about it!

Now that the holiday is over though I have nooooo motivation to go running today. I went to bed last night with the pretense that I was going to get up and run, but that obviously did not happen. I haven't run since Friday. Let's hope I gain some motivation throughout the day and run later in the afternoon.

Can You Believe the Weather!?

Its the day before July 4th and the weather is absolutely beautiful. Its below 90 degrees outside, and there's an actual breeze outside. Normally its about 100 degrees by now with absolutely no breeze and ridiculously humid out.

The weather has motivated me to go on a few extra runs this week because I don't want to waste how pretty it is outside. I was going to take Wednesday off but it was just so cool outside I couldn't help myself. All I could think of was how hot it was going to be next week and how I would be wishing the weather was more like it is now. And that's all it took!

Hopefully I can find some good motivation to stay away from all the food at the July 4th cookouts I'll be attending shortly...

Finding Motivation

So I've decided that weddings are great motivators for working out. Even though I'll only know two people there, I still want to knock all their socks off with how good I look. Its such a confidence booster to walk into a room loving how you feel. All week I've been babysitting and fighting the munchies but with this wedding coming up I can just say to myself, "The wedding. The wedding. The wedding." and its so much easier to walk away from those chips and cookies.

I need to start finding these little motivators through out my life because once this wedding is over with I'll need something else I can work with.
