Motivate me

I never thought it would happen. The day I stopped craving junk food. I mean I'm a girl, sometimes I want ice cream or chocolate, it's just how I'm wired (right ladies?). But the want of a super greasy hamburger disgusts me now, if I want a cheeseburger (which I often do-it's my weird craving) I make it myself instead of running down to Wendy's. It's easier to say no to the soda since I now drink carbonated flavored water when I want the carbonation and the caffeine headaches have subsided too.
This whole "get healthy" journey has certainly not been the easiest and I do admit to cheating every once in a while, however, I am getting better. I do need to get back on the exercise bandwagon though. I still do my little exercises when brushing my teeth or standing in my checkstand, but I know it's not enough. Luckily the on-campus gym is FREE so I can still feed my urge to run when the snow starts to fall in the next month or so (kill me now). By next summer I do plan on being bikini ready, or at least feel as confident as i used to in my own skin/clothes. And, the new goal is to look better for next year's Utah Undie Run. The tank top came off this year when it should have stayed on (in my opinion anyways). I'd rather do this for me though. To look that good will help me feel that good and it's something that's been a long time coming for me. I just need the motivation again to do it.
