Stay Motivated!

I don't know about you but my biggest problem with fitness is staying motivated. I have no problem going all out for 3 weeks but after a month I get bored and loose my motivation. It seems to be a horrible cycle I've been battling with since high school. The first 3 weeks of the challenge were really easy to stay motivated and get to the gym. Week 4 and beyond I'm struggling with the usual battles. What do you do when life gets in the way? How do I keep myself motivated.

First I always find setting goals helps me get over that hump. Goal #1 - run a 5 miler race in June, Goal #2 rock that bikini this summer. If I can keep those goals in mind I find I'm less likely to slip off course.

Buddying Up is always another outlet that helps me along. That's why a few of our team members have signed up to continue doing our own Bootcamp Challenge together with Marcy when Fiona's is over. 6 AM workouts were a stranger to me before this challenge but now although I don't love it - once I get there I feel so much more energized. And lets face it when else am I'm going to show up to the gym on a Friday if not for bootcamp when I'm held accountable.

So Team Alibi closes in on our last couple days of the Challenge. I still see teammate sightings every night I hit the gym. We all hope to stay as motivated as we can to keep accomplishing our fitness goals. Everyone seems to have made Healthworks a lifestyle and each have their own bragging rights of what they have accomplished.
