It’s been another month on the Shaklee 180™ wagon and I have to admit, this has been a tough one. I had travel, some days where my personal life took it’s toll and I totally had emotional eating episodes. Which, that in and of itself is really unusual for me, when things are going wrong or I am upset, it’s usually the opposite, my appetite goes away. This month…not so much. So I sat and thought about what motivates me?
So, what does motivate me? I decided to make a list:
- God
- My husband.
- My kids.
- Living near a beach. *The thought of being pudgy in a bikini forever does not sit well with me, so in turn, it motivates me LOL*
- Wanting to succeed.
- Good music.
I am hoping to get more strict using my Shaklee 180™ turnaround kit this month, like I did the first month. I was really starting to see those results and I can tell they have stalled. I hope I don’t have moments where I want to eat through my emotions this month, nor do I want to not eat as in the past. I am hoping to, instead, use my emotions to fuel me to workout, at least a few times a week. I admit 100% working out has not happened outside of the normal every day activities and that is something I want to focus more on as I enter into month 3.
I am excited to keep on this journey and remind myself to not get frustrated but instead stay motivated. Because a change for the better, even a small one, is still a change and if it means a journey full of tiny accomplishments I am going to be okay with that. I am sure you are wondering if I lost, gained, or stayed the same this month due to my emotional eating flop. You’ll have to wait until tomorrow to find out in my monthly vlog. I’ll also be sharing with you my favorite way to make my shakes!

Working out on a regular basis absolutely takes some getting used to. Love your motivation list!
You’ll get back on track. And I do totally relate, because I was never an emotional eater… in fact, I usually lost weight because I couldn’t eat. And now, the more upset I am, the more I eat. ugh!
staying motivated is the hard part but seeing results makes it easy
My kids…my baby is heavy and likes to be held, he gives me great arms 🙂
