Some people are motivated by deadlines —– >
A wedding
A reunion
A tropical beach vacation
Other people are motivated by guilt —–>
Stuffing your face with food over the holidays
Seeing commercials on tv for Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig and LA Weight Loss
All those newscasts about global warming and how you should garage your car and run or bike instead
And for many others it’s all a matter of pride —->
The waistband of your favorite jeans starts feeling snug
You get paranoid that your legs won’t look so good in short skirts
You notice you’re huffing and puffing after climbing up five flights of stairs
For me, it’s the sneakers. There’s nothing like a brand new pair of running shoes to get me off my butt and jogging a mile or two or ten.
What’s your motivation?
