I need a kick in the "but"...

**mnstlgirl** · 03-28-2005, 11:33 PM

Hey all... I need a kick in the "but"... "I'd like to workout today but..." "I was going to do T-Tapp after work but..." "I would do HD and TTN during lunch but..."

I'm going to be maid-of-honor at my best friend's wedding on May 14th and have my own "wedding extravaganza" (as my fiance calls it!!) coming up on 9/2/05.

I'm part of the 12 weeks to a new you on General Discussion board...but I need to get into a more disciplined routine. I did a 14 day BC at the end of Jan/beg of Feb and saw great results...but since then, I haven't been able to get into a set routine so I can continue my results.

Help!!

Many thanks, Tanya

Hey Tanya ,
are you going to the Clinic if Kirsten has one there in Mpls? You'll need to work a little bit before LOL!!! Put up a pic of the clothes you weant to fit into. I understand though about getting the motivation to get going again.!!! I am in the same boat, but now I have to do a boot camp for our onine class with Lani so at least i'll get motivated for the next 4 days or the class will come looking for me LOL!!Great bunch of gals there, I tell yah!!!

Need someone to keep accountable too? I'll help you of you want???!!!LOL!!! let me know!!

waiting to hear,

Sheryl

You can do it!!!

I have been feeling the same way lately. Here's what helps me. Take a few minutes and phsyche yourself up. I like to "trick" myself and think of Tapping as something wonderful, relaxing and good for me instead of something really hard. Like as if I'm going to a day spa or something. It is my one time for ME! Close the door let the hubby take the kids (if you have any) and have this be a special 'you time'. Take some deep breaths and relax before you start the workout. I like to have my eyes closed at least for pbs and really focus on how my body feels, the muscles contracting etc.

Good luck! You CAN DO IT!!

Thanks gals!

I check in on 12 weeks everyday but I need some structure to my weekly workout, so it's great to be accountable here too!

My pics are all up on my Blog.... http://otow.blogspot.com

I need to update the pics (I just got my digital camera back from my fiance) and the measurements, but it's a start.

Josie, thanks for the mental tips too! I'm going to try hard to mentally psych myself up with all the positives!

I did do Tempo Arms this morning for the first time. Yowza!

Hey Tanya, this place is a great place for structure. I peeked at your blog, and saw a model blitz mentioned. Maybe you're burning the candle to much. Try not to do too much and take the stealth approach of doing at least :15 a day. If you do :15 and feel you can do more that day, then do more. Listen to your body, sometimes it needs rest and sometimes it needs pushed.

Tanya,

One of the ways I keep myself motivated is to give myself little rewards along the way to achiving my goal. Every 10 times I tapp I get to do something for myself. I actually put it all on paper and posted it on my bathtroom mirror to remind myself of what I can get. For example 10 tapps = manicure and pedicure 20 tapps = scapbook money 30 tapps = new pants, etc. Make them things you would like to indulge yourself on and you might just get a little bit of the extra motivation you need
