What inspires me is how friggin
great I feel now, compared to how I felt 50 lbs ago!
No, I don't want to work-out most of the time. My lazy self fights with me all the time on that issue, but loses most of the time because I know how good I feel after I work-out. Not only does my body feel tingly and good, but I also feel satisfied and good about myself on the inside.
I also have awful "fat" pictures of me hanging in my work-out room and on my fridge, which remind me exactly why I am "torturing" myself with exersize: I do not
ever want to look or feel like I did in those pictures again.
And on the other side: I have nice "slim" pictures of me posted around my computer reminding me that I looked pretty fab at one time, and will again with some hard work and consistency.
(No, working out isn't really torture. My lazy self thinks it is, but the rest of me kinda likes it.)
