Well, see its not motivation to work out I need but more motivation to keep working out once I have started, like in an individual session.

I did the monthly goal thing back when I lost 25 pounds. If I had lost 5 pounds by the end of the month smrt would treat me to sushi. New work out stuff won't motivate me, I know myself Maybe we can try that again, since we don't go for sushi much anymore.

I know all the tricks, its just making myself do them. Sometimes, I think maybe I've just become complacent with being this weight since I don't think I will ever drop any. Right now though I am on a bit of a high for pushing my limits on the treadmill and running more than I have in the past. I love working out in the middle of the night when the gym is empty and then strolling around the apartment complex afterwards. It is so calming and I have such a clarity.

As for signing up for a 5K, ehh, well see about that one. If they had a night time one, I would be all over it. I hate working out in the day time. I dislike sunlight. I have ran the same course during the day as at night, with similar temperatures and I just drag during the day. I'm weird, especially since I live in sunny So Cal, but I much prefer the dark. Bright lights hurt my eyes and if its too bright out my nose burns when I breathe in....not sure how else to describe it.

*Edit: Just googled and found a few night time ones, wonder if I can convince anyone I know to do them with me*

Snowy, I will look into that soundtrack, but as I don't want to be a ninja, not sure how well it will work for me. Right now, Florence and the Machine has been my running partner, maybe tonight it will be Dead Kennedys, or a mix...I need to go work on that.
