Fitness motivation
I know there's people like me out there. So here's a thing- I might be very excited about something- for a week or two, a month tops and then my motivation just gets blurry. It's not like that with all the things I do, but mostly the not-so-fun-things-to-do.As I wrote in the earlier NY's resolutions post- I want to get healthier. Eat healthier, feel better and actually I'm not afraid to admit that I want to loose some weight too, because I do not like what I'm seeing from the mirror right now. It might be my personal preference and some might say that my weight can be normal and others that I'm overweight or even fat. We, people, see others with different eyes so no judging from my side and I hope there won't be many judging me either.
Anyway, I'm not good in this. By "this" I mean motivation. So I thought I put two things together- one that I like and the other thing that I hope I'm starting to like: shopping and healthy living. If you're still wondering- what the hell is she talking about, here's what my plan is- to loose 10kg and every 2kg lost I can reward myself with something (not food related) OR I can skip one reward and save the money for something bigger I want to buy.
So today I made my first weight check on a scale after Christmas (yeah yeah, I was fat in august already, I know, but bare with me with the Christmas excuses) and my starting weight is 71,3kg. My goal weight would be something between 61kg and 63kg because that's where I feel my best.
So from now on, I'm coming in with new scale numbers every week and tell You how I have felt during the week and how's my motivation. I try to include the eating and training part as well.
Starting weight: 71,3kg
Goal: 61kg
69,3 kg - new gym top (because there's never too many of those). I've been eyeballing those tops
67,3 kg - new gym pants. I've been admiring Aloha and Vietnam for too long
65,3 kg - I've always wanted New Balance shoes, but I'm quite picky on the colors. Something like this or that or even that
63,3 kg - I'm so near to the goal so I think I might need a good sport watch. I've heard so many good words about this one
61,3 kg - I've reached the goal and I'd love to spend some beauty related time, probably get a massage or why not even a beautiful day in a Spa. I can now really pat myself on a shoulder and say that I can stay motivated, yes?
So, let's do this!
Oh and I don't set any goal on the time, it might take me longer than I think but I hope I will reach my goal in May/June 2016. If it takes longer, I'm not going to beat myself up for it. Important is to reach the goal, but I don't expect it to come easy.

How do you motivate yourself?
yes, do this and while you're at it, motivate me also :D although i do feel like maybe the sport watch should be one of the first prizes you buy. either way, remember to keep your posts up to date! i'm dying to hear about your progress :)
