Its been a little slow on here lately! THE MOTIVATION THREAD!

Let's start a motivation thread. Now that the summer is upon us, lets help each other out with whatever we need motivation with...be it diets, exercise, dinner ideas, whatever.

I will start by saying that I need motivation getting back to the gym. I haven't really ran since the 1/2 marathon, and I need the motivation to get back into it.

Also my thighs are disgusting, anyone have any great toning exercises??

Halfway through my 'bulk'...still working out hard and eating all my food...or almost all of it lol. Feeling super bulky and can't wait to diet down in a few more months!!!

As for thigh toning- I suggest lunges, step ups, squats, hack squats

Lau, I wish it took me all this time to gain a few pounds. I eat for a day and it goes straight to my butt!

what is a hack squat?

i need to go back on my no/low toxin diet that i was on before the wedding. i felt so healthy and looked much better. day 1 of our HM i wore a tiny bikini!!!! i have not worn that since, and there is no way i can comfortably wear that anytime soon.

so i really need to control my diet...and make time for excercise!!!

I need motivation to stop eating. I have been working out and I start off the week well. But the weekend comes and I blow it. I really need to lose weight.

Weight watchers didn't work for me so I need something else.

Re: Its been a little slow on here lately! THE MOTIVATION THREAD!

I need to be motivated to make it through these last four weeks before the baby comes...

and then lose the weight after!!!!!!!!!!

I am officially at 19 lbs now amd I am secretly freaking out :(

Re: Its been a little slow on here lately! THE MOTIVATION THREAD!

I haven't been working out as much as I was when I first started this kick. I have a really hard time waking up early in the morning, and by the time I get home I have to make dinner, clean up, plus it's now getting hot as hell in our upstairs apartment even with all the windows open and the fans on, so I'm not really inclined to work out in the evening either. But I think I'm still doing an ok job diet wise and we've been walking a lot so that at least balances out the lack of exercise I hope.

Re: Its been a little slow on here lately! THE MOTIVATION THREAD!

i think i got my motivation back - last week lol. we went to the gym and i was back on my normal eating schedule and i lost 4 of the 5 pounds i gained from the HM. i still want to loose more though and try to get smaller.

Re: Its been a little slow on here lately! THE MOTIVATION THREAD!

Danielle- this slow gain has been the most difficult thing I have ever done! lol I feel so uncomfortable but I know its an ends to a means so I am just pushing on!

I use the hack squat machine at my gym...it looks like this

As for my motivation i did a killer leg workout today and some easy cardio! (not supposed to do cardio after legs day but I wanted to make sure i got it all in and I have a busy week!)

Enjoy your run mama!
