I'm Stuck and Need Motivation

thinking about those church doors opening and EVERY SINGLE PERSON in the room to turn and STARE at me. No one would want to look like a marshmallow in a pouffy white dress!!!

I read somewhere (and may have been one of Shamma's articles!) that you should post a picture of your goal body (within limits- best is to find one of yourself). The picture should be in a place where you'll see it often.

You're gonna laugh but I watch either Brooke Burke (love her) or a sports illustrated/victoria secret modeling shoot and it gets me going!!!

Re: I'm Stuck and Need Motivation

For working out, reading fitness magazines motivates me. I love Muscle & Fitness 'Hers'. I also read the regular Muscle & Fitness and Oxygen.

The eating good part is a little hard, but I'm thin so it's not like I'm worried about losing weight. I'm just worried about eating clean and gaining muscle. I LOVE cookies, brownies, anything chocolate and it's very hard for me to resist them! Sugar is so evil..

For me, eating goes hand in hand with working out; the harder I work out, the better I seem to eat, and vice-versa.

Re: I'm Stuck and Need Motivation

Anniegrl, I feel the same as you. I eat better if I am doing my usual workouts. If I slack-off on my training, I eat bad. Luckily it is not too often. I also read Oxygen and Muscle and Finess hers for motivation. I bring old ones on the train and read them if I don't feel like buying them!

It's been so long since I posted! I took a long break from this site. I was on the internet too long at work.
