Need to keep myself motivated

[fit_for_me]

Hi everyone! I'm from Washington State, 33 years old, and trying to keep myself motivated. I'm currently down about 40 lbs from my all-time high, but am having a hard time keeping myself motivated to work out. I'm not one for dieting, per se, just try to eat healthier to support my body.

This is something I want to do, I just seem to keep falling off the wagon. I was at an all-time low about a year ago, thanks to regular rigorous exercise. What happened, I'm not sure, but I fell off the work-out wagon and have been having a devil of a time getting back on it. I'm currently recovering from bronchitis, but am trying to get all my ducks in a row to jump back on once I can breathe again.

I have about 30 lbs to lose, not setting any precise figures, just want to feel strong and lean. Once I can get off the couch, I plan to use my Zumba videos (anyone else using those?) and my jump rope.

Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a bit bored at the moment, too sick to make it to my family's christmas party. Look forward to getting to know people!!

Welcome to the forum read the sticky posts scattered around the forum for great information. A good way to get to know some of the members is to take a look at some of the diaries, also good for a bit of motivation before starting your own

After a week of feeling like death, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Fever broke last night, chest crud breaking up. I have been bored silly and really wanting to move (but unable to do so). I'll have to see how the bruised rib feels in a couple of days, but *gasp* I may be able to work out next week!!
