Today's Not-Noble Motivation (Vanity)
(or… How My Devil is Helping Me Lose Weight) because I like prancing around in front of the mirror in tight jeans or cute panties because I like being able to walk around naked when someone is in the room. (by someone, yall know I mean a date) because I like making an entrance when I look good, not because I can’t fit through the door and bump into a million people because...

What I am NOT doing this week...
I don’t feel ready or happy or motivated or excited or even challenged when it comes to my half marathon this weekend. I just feel sick, pressured, stressed, and doomed because of a challenge I placed on my own shoulders. This weekend, a bunch of friends were sitting around telling me how awesome it is to run in these big crowds because people all along the sidelines, strangers, cheer...

Dear Diet Gods please let me...

My Catch22 of Motivation = Progress = Motivation
*that^ is a picture from sparkpeople. When I see a difference, a change, a step forward, it motivates me to work harder, be better, try even more. But I can’t make a difference unless I am motivated to do so. But I can’t get motivated if I feel like I’m not making any difference. This is the bane of weightloss that leads to my plateaus. I’m plateauing again- but I...

Dear Evening Workout,
Please believe that, although your brother, Morning Workout, gets all the love- almost universally, you are sincerely loved by me. I may cancel our dates, but you never do. I may be tired or hesitant, but you never rush me. You don’t mind meeting me late at night or just before bed (but without that booty-call feeling). You let me start slow and build my momentum. You provide prime time...
