Ms Elizabeth's Journal, 17 June 2014

66 days to go until delivery and I'm still attempting to make it to the gym at least 3 days a week. Because well.. I'm round and tired and anything more than that seems like alot at this point. I'm resorting to every type of motivation I can find. I'm putting stickers on my calendar! Yes stickers. Those shiny little stars are motivating when you have two weeks in a row where you met your goal. Plus.. they taunt you when it doesn't look like it will meet your goal for a week. I'm a big round kid. What can I say?

In my search for motivation I ran into a site that I think I'm in love with. It's neilarey.com and it makes me wish I could have this kid already so I could try some of the cool workouts. They're all no equipment, body weight workouts called things like The amazing spiderman, the inner warrior.. I think I just found my post pregnancy workout inspiration. There's a Bruce Lee 30 day challenge for petes sake. Who could pass that up?!?! Except maybe a rational person who doesn't feel the need to torture their body in an attempt to look like superwoman. Well.. I'm not rational or superwoman.. so I'm going to attempt it as soon as I can. lol

The website also gave me 50 more reasons to get my butt to the gym. By the time I use all of these up maybe I will get lucky and deliver early. Or maybe I'll become rational and realize giant pregnant women shouldn't hop up and down on ellipticals so close to their due dates.

i went to the website and all it gave me was a Neil Game...where I had to press K to attack people and C to chat.

I use the shiny star stickers too! Just started putting them on the calendar last week. Bonus my kids know what they are for so if there is a couple day space they're like are you going to work out today you don't have a sticker!

I don't use stickers, but I cross off every day that I workout, so I can tell how many days I do and don't exercise. I'll have to check out the site. I like the 50 reasons, I need to print them off and look at them everytime I'm losing motivation. :)

It would help if I could type. I can't. I tried though!

I also cross the day off when I exercise. Maybe I should start using stickers. I wonder if my daughter would lend me some.

I cross off each day on the calendar when I survived. ;) Thanks for the image! It's great motivation!
