I woke up at 4:30am with a headache and a joint pain and I have no idea why. I slept early last night and had a sound sleep but when I woke up this morning, I don’t feel nice. I don’t think it’s the hormones, I just had my period and I don’t think the joints are affected when your hormones are going crazy. I should really get into the fitness and exercise stuff more seriously. I need motivation. How? Here are some tips:

1. Now that Summer is around, buy a bikini. Hang it somewhere where you can see it everyday so when you see them it will inspire you to exercise and eat healthy.
2. Treat yourself once in awhile when you complete your weekly regimen of exercise and diet by maybe buying yourself a bouquet of flowers or a nice top during the weekends.
3. Post a note around like on your laptop screen or your work station wall to remind you why you want to exercise, notes like “Bathing suit season” or “Getting healthy one step at a time”, this will remind you when you feel lazy to move your butt.
4. Are you sexy and really slim before? Dig some of your nicest old photos and post it in a place where you can see it often like you closet or your bathroom, ladies in a magazine might make you feel ugly but seeing yourself from way back like that will truly inspire you because that’s you!
5. Treat yourself to a spa once in a while after your gym routine. Looking forward to the spa time after hitting the gym will never let you miss your exercise.

These are just samples of motivations and you can make your own unique motivation for yourself. I will be healthier and sexier this 2010, we have to claim it and do something about it!
