Motivator
So I got a pleasant surprise last night when I got home from my spin class. Guess who the Spark People.com featured motivator is today till Midnight Eastern Time?
This gal.
This comes right after I decided that I need to be more focused on my eating habits again. It's the perfect motivation for me to start taking my goals seriously. Sure I'm focused on training for the half marathon but I've been eating things like donuts, cookies and pizza. I keep believing people when they say, "Yeah, but you workout so you can eat like that."
But I can't. I'm literally wearing the donuts around my waist ie. my pants are a little tighter lately. And I'm reminded that I'm not just battling weight but my hypothyroidism.
I can't eat what I want when I want it.
So when I went into the office kitchen this morning and saw the donuts sitting there like they do every Friday, I thought about the 20 people who commented on my Spark page and I didn't want a donut. I couldn't let myself down.
I'm on a mission not just to run a half marathon but to change my life, change my metabolism and to live a healthier life.
And I couldn't have done it without Spark People.com and the very supportive and motivating people in my life.
I'm back on track! And so happy that I can share my successes with others and help them find the inner motivation to attain their goals.
