I was challenged a couple months ago with a great reminder: "a body at rest stays at rest; a body in motion stays in motion" (Newton's law of motion). Whenever I am tempted to just stay in bed or ignore a task, I repeat this phrase to myself, understanding that if I choose not to move now, I will probably not move later, either! So, get moving!! :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736539701158404311.post-71600390461856144262010-05-12T11:53:20.706-05:002010-05-12T11:53:20.706-05:00I know what you mean about feeling motivated after...I know what you mean about feeling motivated after exercising...I don't think I have EVER exercised and regretted it, but there are plenty of times when I haven't exercised and just swim in that sea of regret. You are right, it's in our mind, so set feelings aside and make the choice to exercise. I know you can do this even if you are doubting yourself right now...I see it in your eyes, girl!Cheryl S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14253675750818016783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736539701158404311.post-86294860195606145572010-05-12T04:53:13.541-05:002010-05-12T04:53:13.541-05:00I just learned that people who keep a food diary o...I just learned that people who keep a food diary of everything they eat, lose 50% more weight than those that don't. I have started mine and it makes a huge difference. The trick is to be disciplined enough to use it. <br />I totally spent all my leeway of extra calories for the week all in one day today because of my emotions, so I complete relate to what you are saying. I need motivation too. <br />It is super hard some days. I am glad you were honest with yourself and us. We can do this. You are not alone in this. All this week I will do great and you will too.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11367627849423636447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736539701158404311.post-76484119751475589382010-05-12T00:23:43.123-05:002010-05-12T00:23:43.123-05:00Heidi, I have my first 5k in 16years this weekend!...Heidi, I have my first 5k in 16years this weekend! Ugh!<br /><br />I have a great story this week on my blog about a man who has lost 200 lbs doing the BFC.

I have...I totally hear you but I am truly pathetic! I have only been at this one month and already have had a really bad weekend. I think the difficulty (this is not an excuse) is that our emotions and hormones play such a big part. If I had fewer of those I feel like I could stay focused and my mind would not need as many slaps to get it back on track. Anyway, I feel it with you BUT God has not given us a spirit of fear but of POWER and LOVE and...wait for it...SELF-CONTROL!! I am saying this for myself as much as I am saying it for you. We can do it!!Broken Yet Gratefulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08889803626173391849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736539701158404311.post-41852892849497798602010-05-11T13:15:39.871-05:002010-05-11T13:15:39.871-05:00girl - plateaus SUCK.

So I shall forgo weighing my self for awhile. I will keep on eating right and exercising and ignore that damn scale! Eventually it will move - it has to.Sara's Storieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13575955945349248510noreply@blogger.com
