Jo I find that just picturing myself healthier and happier and enjoying running around with my kids is motivation enough. I also have to remind myself that it isn't going to happen overnight and that I'll see results if I just stick with it
Other times when I do a video I mouth off back at the television LOL I know its stupid but its funny and it pushes me through the workout though I don't feel like doing it. I also have a bowflex which I am totally in love with!!
I have never heard that if you have hamburger for lunch you shouldn't have it for supper. Sometimes I'll eat the same thing for lunch and dinner, I must admit though taht I don't eat hamburger any more I'd rather use my calories towards something else, so I use lowfat ground turkey breast which is great. I also love the meatless products offered by Morning Star farms but then again I grew up a vegan so I'm used to eating stuff like that but you should check them out and see if you like them
