Hi My hips don't lie

I have struggled to gain motivation to do all this. I've struggled for over a year. One day I just decided that was it, my husband said 'I'd like to see you in bikini on the fore deck one day' (we want to go sailing soon for our hols)and all I thought was YUCK. That was it, I made up a picture of what I want to look like, so now whenever I feel down I put that picture of me in my head.
Oh boy does that really help.
Also I've been told to vary what you eat, change the diet, and how you excercise. Don't do the same thing all the time because you plateau, your body gets used to it all.

Drinkswise, well do you like fruit, how about making yourself some smoothies/squeezed fruit, all different kinds, there are some good but cheap books on different ideas and what good they do.

Hope it gives you some ideas/ motivation.
