The Motivator

For months I have been going to they gym every day. Lately the motivation has been waning a little. Switching up the workout Sunday helped but did not cure my issues. Today at the Gym one of the regulars who had taken a hiatus (walking outside instead) came back. She has lost a total of 50 lbs so far. She plans to loose another 10 by her birthday (Thanksgiving).

One reason she is so motivating is her weight loss. Much more motivating however is her happy/motivated personality. She is genuinely happy to be working out every day! She realizes that it was working out and eating better that got her as far as she has come and will get her to her final goal. Being happy with the fitness that she has and striving for her fitness goals makes me motivated to reach my own.

I am running 45 minutes every night and I'm slowly getting faster and feeling better. starting next month I will do the elliptical and weights every other night. After all I want to be in shape at the beginning of the ski season. And I'm definitely on the correct path.
