How do you stay motivated?

The last few days, I haven’t felt like working out. I decided to move my “rest day” to Tuesday since I had a roast in the crock pot all day (10hours … yikes) and I was cold. But Wednesday, I used the excuse that I was tired. Today I used the excuse that I was cold, tired, and ticked off from my drive home from work. All excuses rather than real reasons.

I have been eating better and in smaller portions and cut down on pop (I’ve been limiting it to meals, but I have needed a can the past 2 mornings since I’ve felt so tired. But I haven’t had any at home, so I’ve still been at only 2 cans a day.). I’ve been staying under my calorie budget every day since I set up the Lose It! app. But even if I keep eating the way I have been, I still need to exercise to lose weight. Last week I lost 4 pounds. With me not exercising for 3 days this week (I WILL exercise tomorrow dammit :grin: ), I’m afraid I won’t lose anything this week. But I’m not going to let my few days of laziness completely break me.

I’m wondering what you do to motivate yourself to keep working out. I am greatly in need of some motivation. Maybe I should go to the mall this weekend and try on jeans. LOL That will motivate me to lose weight.
