I find it very important to motivate myself with the more immediate “results” like feeling good about myself when I make good choices, the post exercise “rush” feeling, that healthy feeling after eating a nutritious meal rather than just focusing on the long term reward of actually losing weight.

I have decided like a few others on here to take 2010 month by month so I can remain focused and it is not overwhelming. I read your blog daily to keep me focused on eating well and working out. I weigh myself in weekly to make sure I stay in my healthy weight range.

I just had to comment and say that your methods for motivation are almost the EXACT steps to “self-change” that we are learning about in my Intro to Clinical Psychology class at school! They are proven to be very effective, you are definitely on the right track!

I’m very intersted in trying baked oatmeal. I’m not a big fan of oatmeal cooked on the stove it’s too slimy. But I can see the bake version being more up my alley.

After a great workout and I feel fantastic–I tell myself to remember this feeling. I put it in the vault.
After I have something junkie food to eat and I don’t feel that great after, I also tell myself to remember this feeling.
Being mindful of how I feel, all the time, has helped me to stay motivated. Let’s face it, we all fall off the train once in a while…don’t we?

What helped me to get in the habit of exercising was just to make it a priority and, if I can, to do it early in the day. I’ve come to enjoy it after several years of building up strength and endurance and learning about different exercises. I think I’m addicted to it now! It helps me so much with stress + anxiety.

I am definitely motivated by races and challenges of any sort. But mostly just knowing how good everything I am doing makes me feel is a big motivator!
