What's your motivation?

I was watching the makeover episode of "Biggest Loser" tonight. I don't know if you watch the show, but this year has been fairly fun--though not my favorite season ever. ANYWAY, when Olivia (purple team!) got to have her say she made a comment that really struck me. She said something along the lines of, "I'm doing this for us. I'm doing this for us, and our children, and our children's children." (Us = she and her hubby)

That, to me, seems like good motivation.

I know working out and focusing on weight loss for ourselves is key to getting going. You can't do it for somebody else. But I think when you are doing it for you AND somebody else...that makes it more important somehow.

Just a thought.

I've definitely been thinking about this in regards to diet. Being healthier for Everly. So she can grow up with healthier natural tastes (fruit as a treat!!)
