I have been struggling the past few months to get re-motivated. I am not able to do any running because of bursitis in my knee so I gave up on exercise and my eating was shot. Just recently I realized that I need to not give up on myself and since I have come so far I need to stop and get back on the bandwagon. Since I have fallen off, I have gained 17 lbs. That is right, you read it correctly.
I had been looking on Pinterest on what I could do for motivation and I found a fit commitment pledge that you write down your goals with exercise and eating and then it ends with a pledge that you sign and a witness signs.
So I have signed my commitment and it started on Sunday. In my opinion it is the best decision I could have made. This week I have been more successful in my eating and exercising than I have been in the past two months.
How do you re-motivate yourself to get on the healthy eating bandwagon?
