i love extreme makeover too! im determined to get those results without the surgery! LoL ok, maybe im dreaming, but it definately motivates me too
music definately motivates me. im sure you can tell if im listening to a song i like or not when im at the gym cuz if i am, im running like 7+ mph & if i'm not you're lucky to catch me at 4-5mph. i've been begging dh to make me a cd, but he hasnt yet. and i dont have the time, patience, or knowledge to do it myself.
obese people motivate me too. this might be horrible, but anytime i see one, i think to myself. "man- i am NEVER gonna let myself go like that again". it really disgusts me. not that other people are fat because whatever, but it disgusts me to know that i used to be like that. man, i hope i dont sound like a total jerk for saying that.
my kids motivate me. for obvious wanting to be around and keep up reasons. but they literally motivate me too. took my kids out the other day. had one in a stroller, the other one was riding his bike. i was rollerskatin. my older one is riding his bike and just learned how to ride standing up so he goes super fast now... hence the reason i have to wear rollerskates just to keep up because i cant run on pavement cuz of my knees... SO, he's all like "cmon mama! hurry up mama! u can't catch me mama!" haha its great. i love that kid.
my mom motivates me. everytime she loses a pound, she emails me & we're pretty competitive. i love getting an email from her saying "haha- i lost 2 pounds last week" and im like "well, i lost 3!"
my dad motivates me. always has. he's gotta quit smoking cuz he has to have surgery... after 30 years or so of smoking 3 packs a day. so, im quitting too... after 15 years of smoking a pack a day. i feel bad for the rest of my family cuz we're gonna be a couple of grumps for a while.
my boss motivates me. he's such a brat. i'll be sittin here eatin celery and he's the next office over & the walls are like 3/4 walls... almost like cubicles & he'll be like "that sounds like potato chips.. what are u eating?" and i'll be like "celery" and he'll be like "ok- just checking"
i'm pretty much inspired by everything and everyone around me. i even turn negativity into positive things. like some of the jealous witches i work with who leave boxes of donuts on my desk. i love having them come by 'just to say hi' 10 times a day to see if i've eaten one and not giving them the satisfaction. ;p
