Motivation
I just wanted to say thank you to BSB and BMuffin for their encouragement in my last blog. You ladies (and ALL of my EP friends) are inspirational and I know it won't be overnight but we will achieve our goals. 
This week has been okay but not great. The good first: So far I've worked out 3 times, both cardio and strength training and tomorrow will make 4x. The bad: My eating hasn't been as clean as I was aiming for. I slipped up and bought a box of Blue Bunny icecream bars. We all know what happened after that 
... I binged on them (sweet tooth is my killer). So I'm back to doing what I know works... eating small meals full of fiber and protein throughout the day so that I won't feel the "need" to binge. Substituting fruit for sweet things also works for me. So I feel better now that I've identified my pitfalls (and triggers) and I'm trying to do something about it. :) To make up for the splurges I have been working really hard during my cardio sessions. It's taking me longer than ever to complete my workouts (i.e. Today, walking/jogging 3 miles to 61 minutes) but I'm sure that if I can remain consistent my time will improve.

My motivation is making clean eating and consistent exercise a daily thing, a lifestyle change. Of course, my secondary goal is to look better and younger :)
So my question is WHAT IS YOUR MOTIVATION?
I hope everyone is having a great week. ~Kim
