Motivation is a lot like faith. Motivation doesn't just come because you want it (at least for me it doesn't...), but it comes as you start to act towards your desires. If I sit in my wonderful recliner and wait until I want to go and run/walk 3 miles then it will never happen. For me, motivation usually comes as I get on my workout clothes, put my headphones on, and walk out the door. Recognizing this helps me to get out of the recliner and act. I've never had a day that I've regretted going for my run or walk, but there have been a few days that I have regretted not going out and doing it.
4 weeks in I'm happy with the progress that I've made so far. There's definitely still room for improvement, but I just have to keep moving forward. I've exercised over 68 miles this month and I've lost over 15 pounds.
Thank you friends for your support!
I've started jogging and I can go about 3 blocks, so I think you're doing awesome! :) Good work. Don't beat yourself up over "the room for improvement," progress is progress.
