I have several things that keep me motivated right now.
1. As you may know, the first is to change my size to surprise my husband when he comes home from the big sandbox.
2. To get well. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. The breast cancer scare in 2006 was enough for me to quite my old eating habits and unhealthy lifestyle and try to get well. I can't afford to live a miserable existence. Life is too short and I really don't feel better when I eat an entire package of Oreos (split up over the day, but its an entire package).
3. I had lost about 25 pounds just doing the above. It was one night that I was itching my stomach when I realized it was too big and loose for my happiness and comfort. I confess sometimes I feel trapped in a sick, tired, itchy, and overweight body. The skinny me is ready to come out! LOL After that incident I hit the gym to tone up and lose more weight. That was the end of August. I've been going steady for 3 weeks and have worked out 77 miles! I have definitely seen the results of my effort. I lost another size and 2 or 3 more pounds.
These are the things that keep ME motivated. When I cheat on my diet (down day) I feel worse and I beat myself up over it. I also have terrible itching when I do so it keeps me motivated to stay good. ;) I also LOVE the endorphin boost I get after my work out. Right now, with seven kids and a being a geographically single mom, I need all the boost and alone time I can get! A PA that I know once said, "Running is cocaine for the soul". I am in complete agreement!!

What cleanse did you use? I have tried a product called Humaworm that I liked. I never saw anything, but I never went "poking around" either (if you know what I mean).
I have the book about feelings that you recommended. I have read in it, but not all the way through. I guess I need to go get it and work on it.
I'm thinking about whether or not I have the courage to join with you, even though I'd have to be classified as a Hot Gramma (that really makes me smile to even type that).
Warm Regards!
Hi Gloria,
I used "Health Plus Inc.'s" super colon cleanse. Use the capsules.
I didn't poke around like some of my friends! ROFL, but I sure enough saw them!

It is an excellent book! It has changed my life! I am no longer trapped in emotions that controlled me.
I recently wrote an article about this here:

We can always use the wisdom of a hot gramma here too! Just say the word! LOL!
