I've been working hard to eat healthier and lose weight this year, and I've been doing good. Lost 19 pounds, yay me! However, I'm having a rough time sticking with an exercise program. The motivation, it just ain't there, and for the life of me I've never understood why. Until now.Motivation CAN last beyond that gung-ho feeling you get at the beginning of a project. The section called Motivation Deconstructed showed me that motivation is like any other behavior, you have to work at it. The Exercise Motivation Change Cycle showed me that I'm not alone in my motivational failures, and also how to stop the cycle by not allowing myself to continually slip back once I've finally gotten where I want to be. I also learned a lot about trigger events and how to use them to my advantage.I may not jump out of bed every morning and go for a three mile run after reading this, but I can say I've felt a lot more positive about meeting my daily exercise goals now. With the easy to understand guidance in this book, I feel confident that I'm going to finally break the cycle of success/failure and see this all the way through.
