Success and Motivation

I had a little success - yeah, me! I followed a workout schedule I found in Women's Health for an entire week (I did miss one strength workout). The best part is that without counting calories, I managed to drop a pound. Of course now I haven't worked out for 2 days, and I have a cold. Of course 2 days is really nothing. If I were a coach, I'd tell myself that 2 days is more of a mini break than a total break down. Back in the saddle today...

I find that one of the best motivators for me is shopping. I love cute clothes, but I find my figure and my size limit my options. I don't feel comfortable in many of the outfits I'd like to wear, and I can't even shop at some of the stores I used to frequent because they don't carry my size. As a bridesmaid in the April wedding, I don't have to worry about what I'm wearing to the ceremony, but it would be nice to wear something super wonderful for the rehersal dinner. I think I may need a few minutes of drooling over Anthropologie dresses to get myself fully motivated...
