Moto
In the Marine Corps, the term "moto" is used alot. "Motovation" referring to someone being "gung-ho" about something, enthusiastic, full spirited.
I can't say I have this naturally pouring from my veins, so I need a little help.
I hired a babysitter to watching my little darlings for an hour in the afternoons so that I can run my butt off (litteraly!) She's a young HS girl, lives two houses down from us, and is willing and able to come over after school everyday she is available.
This is my moto!
I also bought a new ab's DVD (yes, yes, we all know these things are for the most part a waste of money since we all typically use them a couple times before they get shoved to the back on the DVD rack never to see the light of day again.....but again.....new moto.)
I'm also having a few other more suttle & personal moto's...such as starting to see a little difference in me, dh writting out a workout plan for me (I don't want to let him down) and my baby hitting 3 months old (getting too big for me to excuse my extra weight away!)
I have to say, I'm diggin this website's weight tracker. Gives me a nice visual or my progression as well as a little more moto to be accountable for.
All in all, I think I'm going to be ok. I have a new mini goal. I'd like to be under 142 by Christmas. Last post pregnancy dieting took place in Jan after the holidays and my start weight back then was 142. If I can be at that, I will be on the right and familiar track for this weight loss.
Immediate goal: I'm going for a strong, big week in annticipation for thanksgiving next week. I won't be as bad as I could allow myself to be for thanksgiving, but I'm not nieve in the fact that I'm going to end up tasting the goodies. Running the turkey trot that morning I think will help, but in preparation, I'm all about this being a big week....just for this week, just for this week...big, strong week!!!
