I WANT THIS

Maybe I should stop weighing myself at the gym every morning.  It sure can set my mood for the day...  On Tuesday I was depressed all day because I was up 2 lbs.  Then yesterday I was down 3 from Tuesday.  Today It's back up 1-2 lbs.  But looking at that scale today and knowing that I have to weigh in either today at lunch or tomorrow at lunch really motivated me for my work out...

I was on the elliptical this morning and I kept thinking about what the scale said.  If I am really up 1lb this week then I have to lose 3lbs next week to make goal on May 13.  I could do it, but it would be tough.  So I used that to motivate me.  I was watching the clock on the elliptical and I knew I wanted to go for 45 min. but I started to get bored and then I got lazy and thought "maybe just 30 min. is enough."  Then I thought about my goal date and I told myself "I WANT THIS" and I kept going.  I got a great, 45 min. work out in.  But the whole time I had to keep looking at the clock and repeating to myself...only 10 more minutes...I want this...only 5 more minutes...I can do it...I really, really want this...
