I have written about motivation so many times. It’s crazy how many times I’ve probably written about motivation. I wrote about it recently when I wrote tips for motivation But it happens because motivation is fleeting and ever changing.
In the past I have been motivated to lose weight for various reasons. Sometimes it was competition with a friend, once it was even a personal competition with an enemy who I didn’t want to show me up. I have lost weight to get into goal clothing. And I lost weight trying to make my ex husband love me. I have probably been motivated by a gazillion and one different things. And that’s OK, because it worked.
I have a few current motivations running through my mind. There are one or two things that I am not quite ready to share here yet. But let me tell you, they are good reasons!
But a real big motivation?
We have vacation in one week! We are planning and hoping for a very active vacation. I know that my fitness level will hold us back a little bit. I also know that my lack of fitness will mean that what I do, will cause me to ache. I am OK with that. However, we are starting to plan our vacation for next year. It’s going to be a big one. I am not OK with passing on some opportunities that may crop up during that vacation due to my lack of fitness. Nor am I OK with pushing myself through and then aching miserably for the rest of the vacation. I WILL have my fitness fixed before then. How’s that for motivation?
