New Motivation

I've been having a serious lack of motivation problem lately. I've still been running pretty regularly but not really paying attention to what I eat. Guess what? I haven't lost any more weight in weeks. Surprise, surprise! But now I have some new motivation and a great short term goal. I'm realizing I do really well with short term goals but not so much with the long term ones when it comes to diet and exercise. My new motivation is that we just made plans to go to Puerto Vallarta at the end of August to celebrate my grandpa's birthday!! That means a whole week at the beach and lots of time in a bathing suit. I'm sooooo close to my goal weight and being able to feel comfortable in a bathing suit. I HAVE to put in the effort to get the rest of the way there so I can enjoy all my hard work and feel comfortable in my skin at the beach. I feel like I ran a marathon and then stopped 100 yards from the finish line and sat on the ground. It's time to get my ass up and run the last little bit! I'm done screwing around and wasting time. I'm ready to finish what I started several months ago and get my body into the shape I want to be in. I want to be slim and toned with good definition in my abs, arms and legs. I'm going to go hard this next month and do P90X and run at least 3 miles a day 6 x's a week. It's going to be hard and hurt but I know it will be worth it! I've also got to be more accountable for what I'm putting in my mouth and not ruining all my hard work with mindless snacking or just straight up bad food choices.

Tonight I started the P90X Lean program. I know I said I was going to start weeks ago but stuff just kept coming up preventing me from being able to. I actually completed Day One tonight though so there is no turning back. I took "before" pictures but I'm not posting them till I'm done and can have "after" pics to post with them!! Wish me luck!
