Motivation Proclamation

I think this is every woman's dream...and every man's dream for a woman :-)

UPDATE: Thanks to Katie, I just spent $113 for Body By Vi's Shape Kit. 2 shakes a day...hope this works! If you want to try it with me, go to https://bunnybenedicto.myvi.net/join/body.html?Market=USA to order from me :-)

If the title of this post made you think of the Good Charlotte song - brownie points for you! I promise this post won't be nearly as depressing as the song though. We are slightly more than half way through February and I have nothing to report. I have not lost or gained a pound or an inch since the beginning of the year. I know, I know, I really need to kick it up a notch. So this time, for real, I am going to be better about nutrition. I know it won't be easy, which sucks because I like things to come easy. Woe is me.

I have been hearing a lot about nutritional shakes like Shakeology or Body by Vi. While I am sure these will help you lose weight, I'm just not sure if I have the will power to drink shakes for 1-2 of my 3 meals a day (this does not include Scooby Snacks). I have tried Shakeology and the taste is pretty good but I'm not as full as they claim I should be when I drink it. Maybe I am an anomaly and I have more stomachs than the average human? Plus Shakeology costs $120 for a month's supply! Body by Vi costs almost double that! So I would need to spend an extra $120-240 a month on top of my normal grocery bills? Maybe I'll try it next month and see if it really makes a difference.

In addition to lacking will power, I think I lack tangible/visible motivation. I feel that they go hand in hand. So last night, I made this and posted it on my wall at work, since that's where I spend most of my days (not chillin out, maxin, relaxin all cool...)

This weekend I am buying this bathing suit in the size I want to be to help motivate me. There's a countdown to our Honeymoon so as of today I have 107 days to lose 5 inches around my waist. Definitely Doable. Just got to buckle down. So this Fantasy Friday, I am buying my "fantasy bathing suit" in hopes that by time June rolls around I will have the fantasy body to boot. Plus staring at her body will guilt me into putting down the doughnut, cupcake, pizza, candy, etc.

Happy Workout Everyone!
