*just ten more pounds*

My brain can’t seem to get the message across to my body and I am stuck in another weight loss plateau hell! Thinking that short of divine intervention, the new polka dot bikini hanging in the *front* of my closet is not going to get the time of day this summer ….

iTrain comes at a perfect time in my life.

I think we can all agree that the hard part with exercising is staying motivated. I totally understand and I go through this every so often. I try to remind myself by following a few simple rules that allow me to keep on track of my goals so I can continue to be encouraged with my exercising. Some of them start with short term goals or taking baby steps. As you begin to approach these smaller goals or accomplish them, you will build confidence. You will then become motivated since accomplishing anything is very rewarding. By knowing how much time and effort you’ve invested feels great when you begin to see results. So, let me discuss the rest of the points on how you can stay motivated.

1. Write down your short and long term goals. Next, acknowledge it by saying it to yourself or someone close to you such as a friend or spouse.
