Bonus tips on how to get and stay motivated

1. Find a great audio book for your iPod and promise yourself you will only listen to it during your gym time. This gets you up and eager to hit the gym to find out what's going on in the next chapter!
2. Find a workout buddy, preferably someone more motivated than yourself. Tell them which buttons to push and give them permission to push when necessary. Any motivation is still motivation!
3. Let dad put the kids to bed and take evening workout classes at your local gym. After a long day with the kids, who doesn't need some time for themselves? Also, set up in the front of the room. This keeps you from sneaking out mid-class.
4. Make small attainable goals for yourself. For example, if you're looking to lose 30 pounds, reward yourself after every five with something new for the gym. This way you lose weight and treat yourself with something new that gets you motivated to lose even more weight!
