I’m having a rough time fitting in exercise actually. I recently hurt my ankle, so my usual go to exercise is out of the question for a while. I need new ideas! I’ll be reading the comments looking for those.
As much as I would love to get up early in the morning to get my exercise done and over with is not happening then, I just can’t bring myself to get up any earlier. So I exercise after my daughter is in bed. I pop in my BL Bob yoga dvd in my daughters portable dvd player and place that by the tv so I can do the dvd and watch tv at the same time. After the dvd I follow that up with a little light weight workout. As for staying motivated, I keep telling myself the weight will not come of if I don’t keep moving!!
I find that the days I’m most motivated to workout are the days that my husband volunteers to go out and walk, jog, or run with me. It’s a great hour (or so) together, and he’s a great distraction, especially when he runs in front of me 🙂
I’ve never been “fit” no matter how much or little I weighed so I’m trying to get to the gym more so I can be in overall better health for my boys. I’m going to start going to work out at the Y when I take DS1 to preschool there.
Dieting I have a hard time with, I’m a chocolate addict and could live off of brownies.
I drop my daughter off at middle school every morning and then I run and/or walk around the track at her school. Having the exercise built into my routine really helps. Huge motivation for me: not the number on the scale, but how my clothes fit.
I am trying to get more exercise but I also have a bad back and cannot walk very far so I am trying to watch what i eat and hope to adopt new methods. I sure could use the $100 though to buy more fruits and vegetables. Thanks for the chance to win! connie danielson
Exercise can be a struggle for as well. Fortunately, my hubby keeps me motivated. He is good at his daily exercise routine. In fact we just had this conversation this morning about me doing walking exercises indoors since the weather is changing.
I can exercise by myself but it is so much nicer to go out with a friend or to go for a walk with my husband. I like having a “partner” with me. Though losing weight is for myself.
after being on exercise restriction for over a year due to medical issues, it
s REALLY hard to get moving again. Music helps a little. I’d love to get a Wii so I could get some fun work outs at home
Since being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in July, I’ve lost 37 pounds by totally changing my lifestyle and my mindset. I eat very healthy, have cut the carbs and sugar and get moving. There’s no ifs, ands or buts, that’s my motivation. Live long and be a grandma one day 🙂
I motivate myself to go out there to exercise by giving myself a little treat at the end of the month. Such as buying a top or a dress I’ve been wanted. That works like a charm. 🙂
Get a workout buddy! My friends and I all love to walk, so we call each other whenever we have time to take a walk and see if the other is available. We get to talk and exercise at the same time!

Great music or conversation helps me. I also sometimes will tell myself to just try it for 15 and see how I feel after…sometimes I quit sometimes not.

Good music is honestly my best motivation to exercise. Although it’s starting to get cold out…. so we’ll see. Food journal helps me a lot too.

My motivating factor is to look at all the clothes in my closet that I fit BEFORE I had my baby, and that does the trick!

Our main exercise is walking. For “motivation” we walk to a small market and but fresh produce and fixings for that evening’s dinner.
