Where Do You Find Your Motivation?

Lately I have had some setbacks. Gained a few pounds after a 1cc unfill. Making poor food choices. But I have been back at it 100% for the last week. So at night after I've worked out and finished eating for the day I usually go online. I come here, facebook, and most recently pinterest. Pinterest is my new motivation spot. I go to their Fitness Boards and "Pin" different things that keep me motivated. Sayings, healthy recipes, exercise tips, snack tips. All sorts of things! Have you tried Pinterest yet? I will warn you it is addicting. It is also loaded with everyday tips and recipes (I stay away from the sweets recipes). So here a few of my favorite pins that keep me motivated:

ooooooh ! i love the Nike one that starts with 'Because it may suck not being etc ....how true, how true !!! !! Okay if i borrow that ? My way to motivate myself was to find an exercise that i could stick with and i didnt hate. So for me its water fitness classes and outdoor walking. ( hope someday to be a runner !) So far ,so good ! Down 35 lbs since mid December, exercise made all the difference. Seeing my clothes get looser and looser is also a huge motivator !!!

Oooh, pintrest- good idea! I don't have the hang of it all yet, but am on there.

I have a white board that I keep by my elliptical that I record all of my exercise on- time, miles, calories burned. It's also motivating to me to enter all my exercise into My Fitness Pal and see the calories subtracted out. I also find a lot of motivation here!

@Pink Dahlia - Borrow away! I am on my way to being a runner. What has helped me is signed myself up for a 5k in July. Now I have no choice but to get it together!! I also am addicted to Spin Classes.

@JustDoIt - Don't you love pinterest? Once you get the hang of it, it is sooo addicting! I also find most of my motivation here, but needed to switch it up sometimes and Pinterest is great for that.
