Inspire me!

Us women ALWAYS wish there was something we could tweak about our body and we make numerous goals of which most are never accomplished or even attainable for that matter. I of course, am no stranger to this. I have fitness goals out the wazoo (surprisingly, I guess that is a real word)!

Don't get me wrong, fitness goals are great to have but you need to be slightly realistic when creating them. I say slightly because you do have to have some that are a little outside your comfort zone. That's the point, right? To work hard for them or they will lose their value and you lose interest. See, I have goals...

I have a goal to drop 50... Not dollars but pounds.

I want to wear my wedding & engagement rings, something I haven't done since I was 5 months pregnant with Saya baby.

I want to be free to wear horizontal stripes again.

I don't want my roley poley knees anymore.

I want to see my little baby chin on its own and not with its crappy, no good friends.

I want my skinny feet back.

BUT since I don't have the motivation, all these goals mean NADA. Now, of course this is totally all my fault. I want to work out. I want to eat right. I want. I want. I want. That is all I hear come out of my mouth but it does nothing for me.  (Oh goodness, just saying this makes me think I'll be bringing bad luck on myself... NO Thank you!) Anyway, somehow, some way I need to change the "I want" to "I am". The struggle of my life.

I need to change this...

What I forgot to mention is that I have all the tools in the world to make this "miracle" happen. First off my little brother is a Certified Personal Trainer (Sorry, Mel!). He has given me so many different solutions for exercise routines and dietary changes. I just wished he lived closer so I can hire him as my trainer. He would kick my butt but I would LOVE it! Also, we have an in-home gym with DVDs also out the wazoo from Zumba, to The Firm, to P90x and even 30 day Shred. We have dumbbell sets, a heavy bag with boxing gloves and an exercise bike. Crazy, I know! I guess you are thinking what is wrong with me? My answer... No clue! I do know that I seem to also have every excuse in the world too! Ha!

So what did you use to help motivate you to lose weight or reach your fitness goals? Do you have any advice for this poor soul?
