What are your incintives to meeting your goals?

Well, I've been staying consistant with my workouts and even my diet. I am 100% soda sober and happy to report that the withdrawal symptoms are finally subsiding! Woo Friggin Hoo!!!! It has been easy to stick with my work outs because I am only doing things that are fun for me. Yesterday I did BodyJam with Heather the magnificent and had a blast! BodyJam is a hip hop dance class where you can burn over 550  calories in a one hour class. It is so fun and you feed off of everybody's energy so you don't even realize you are working out. I had so much fun that I didn't even care that I didn't look as good as I thought I did when I danced ;0)

I stayed after for a real quick core class called cxworx. In 30 minutes I worked out every muscle in my tummy, my back, my legs and my booty which came in very handy later that evening (story to follow).

After all that I went to help my best friend pack because she is moving to Florida (sobs)! Seeing how I am very much an emotional eater, this had a very real possibility of sending me straight to Baskin Robbins, but I stayed focused (really I just didn't even have time to go but whatever). Me and the girls all helped Amber pack and lucky me, I got to go home with a 300 lb bag of her clothes. On the way home, I was thinking to myself, "Congratulations! You stayed strong, didn't blow your diet and workout, and ended up coming home with 300 lbs of incintives to keep your eyes on the prize". Once I got home and tried to pull said 300 lb bag of clothes up the straight incline that is my yard, I was thanking my lucky stars that I stuck around for those 7 minute, one-armed planks and the extra core strength.

I guess my lesson for today is that it is imperative to find rewards and incintives for your progress that aren't going to ruin your hard work or your ultimate goal...like clothes...4 sizes smaller ;0)
