You put me off starting.............

We all need little bits of inspiration to keep our lives and goals in perspective.

The little words I am keeping in my head to help me reach my goals came from Pam this morning. Pam looks after Ella during the week so that I can keep up with our business, and do my training. Pam battles with weight like me. She was talking about her skinny niece who is doing Ironman NZ in 3 weeks time. I remarked that I should be skinny too, but I can't get any more weight off (I've actually put on 4.4 kg since Tauranga!)

She said 'Yes you put me off starting (to lose weight)' ...... because I appear to be working hard and not getting anywhere. If the truth be known, I am still eating too much - a muesli bar here, another bit of vogels there, etc etc.

So now I have some motivational words to say to myself every time I get tired from training, or feel like eating something I don't need.... 'you put me off starting....' .

I'll make sure Pam has no excuses in 6 months time!!!
