I Need Your Help...

I'm at Day 16 of my challenge.... still a VERY long way to go, and I'm asking for your help.

When I started this challenge I was full of gusto and determination.  I was ready to face my reality and attack my issues head on, but in all honesty I'm already lacking a bit of motivation.  Not with the entire concept, just with the exercise portion of my challenge.

I stated in my opening post that I would exercise daily.  So far I've lied. I've not done anywhere near the amount of exercise I should be doing.  My Fiancé, Mr Fitness, has very plainly explained my issue. "You suffer from this a lot, honey. You start off so well and then loose interest and motivation."  He's dead on, my interest and motivation has definitely started to wain.  For many of you that know me, I'm sure you think the exercise part of this challenge should come quite easily.  I like being active, Mr Fitness is a qualified Personal Trainer (aside from his day job) and for the last 8 years I've always had some sort of fitness goal I was striving for, from running half marathon's to walking 100km, there was always something I was working towards to keep my fitness on track. However, I seem to be lacking what it takes to get me back to my glory days of fabulous fitness.

A few weeks ago I injured my left calf and have been having intense physiotherapy each week to try and get it sorted.  My main issue with this is that it stopped me from going to my beloved Step class & Spin class at the gym.  I got very down on myself for not being able to attend these sessions, but in reality there a million other things I could be doing for myself! As Mr Fitness has so kindly pointed out to me, I could do an ab-workout, focus on my upper body strength, or just get out there and walk with Princess A & Poppy.  But no, I have only done these things a couple of times since I began.  

I did manage to get out and about last night with Mr Fitness, Princess A & Poppy for a lovely walk, and I took these pics along the way.


Although it was an enjoyable time with my family, it's just not enough.  I seem to have lost my mojo with wanting to get out there a be active.  I need to find it again, and I'm asking for your help.  Do have any suggestions for getting me back on track?  Can you share any tips that you might use to keep you focused on your fitness?  I'd love to hear from you, so please leave a comment below, or on my Facebook page.
