I NEED Motivation!

My husband is getting ready to leave for deploment at the end of the month! It will be his second tour, first with kids! My goal is for him to come home next year to a wife that is in top athletic shape and ready to compete in a figure competition. How do you currently workout? Do you go to the gym? Where in SD are you stationed?

I think you need to eat 5 to 6 smaller meals and determine first the necessary calories to lose weight and then find that picture of yourself that is the way you want to be. Also, find a partner... set smaller goals. Good luck

I too lack motivation lately, esp. in the winter! it is hard even when you know what is needed to accomplish your gaols! one day at a time. goodluck

I know where you are coming from! I just found my motivation via quadruple bypass heart surgery on October 2010. Just was able to start a more physical workout. I am doing cardio and light weight training and am loving it. A pic of me in the recovery room after my surgery serves as my motivation. I keep it hung on the fridge door as a reminder of where my poor diet and lack of excercise took me. Now I am headed in a different direction and am actually very proud of where I am right now. So my advice to you is to find your truee deep down motivation and work it as a source of inspiration. Most of all, remember what an old man told me one day. He said son "you can't keep doing what you have been doing and expect different results!" So god bless and good luck!
