Small things add up to big motivation
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The other day I walked into my closet and decided to put on a shirt I hadn’t been able to wear in quite some time. I almost got rid of it awhile back because it depressed me to see it and know I could no longer wear it. But it is cute (and still in style!), so I didn’t. Anyway, imagine how I felt when I could put it on and look good in it! Then I got to work and the first person I saw said all my hard work was paying off and I was looking better. Boy, did that feel good. I stood taller and prouder all day! These kinds of things keep me motivated!
This week, I am going to the trainer 4 — count ‘em FOUR — times. Whew! My muscles and heart have never worked this hard! But it feels good. Today Kelly really pushed me to see what I could do, and I feel that I did not disappoint him. He seemed excited about my progress — another motivator!
Soooooooo…. I’ve got breakfast down pat. I’m great on my mid-morning snack. Eat a healthy balanced lunch. Then it’s off to the trainer or to do some cardio. Then home. That’s when things fall apart. I’ve tried eating various healthy snacks at this danger time, but some days, one snack leads to another and then another….you get the picture.
Any ideas on dealing with the “5 p.m.-tired-hungry-gotta-eat-NOW
-but-dinner-is-still-half-an-hour-and-a
-whole-lotta-effort-away” blues?
Thanks for any ideas!
