So, Day 7 of the 30 Day PUSH by Chalene Johnson is to become your own motivational coach.

Man, I'm never going to do this.  It's too big of a task.  I'm too stressed out.  I can't handle it right now.

HA!  I'm just kidding, but that's exactly what Chalene warns against.  Negative talk.  You are your own worst enemy.  No more doubting.  I CAN DO THIS!!

The idea is to quit doubting yourself, second guessing, in other words limiting yourself.

PMA - Positive Mental Attitude.  You chose to be happy or you chose to be disappointed.

So, be HAPPY!  Or a hippy, but happy is good.

Hey fatty!

Side note:  I took my P90X before pictures.  WOW!  I knew I had put on a bit of weight since the summer, but geez.  (Yes, my Speedo has flowers on it!  Yes, it's a men's suit.  It's from their water polo series back from 2008 or 2009).

I also officially signed up for Lose It!  I used it to figure out all of what I ate today.  P90X has my daily caloric intake at 2400.  Lose It! has me at 2200, if I go ultra conservative and only try to lose a half a pound a week trying to go from 170 (which is a guess at my current weight) to 160 lbs as the target.  I consumed 3959 calories today!  YIKES!!
Thankfully, the P90X workout helped me kill 1000 of that, so I only exceeded my "budget" by 700 calories or so.

Still, WOW, actually jotting it all down and seeing the numbers is kind of scary.

I am definitely motivated.

Also, I've spent the past couple of mornings studying away for my ISSA personal trainer cert.  I need to officially sign on to the website to start my timer.  They keep track of how long it takes their students to go from day 1 to certified.  Super stoked on that too.

OK, I need to go cry myself to sleep tonight after looking at my before picture again (not really)!  Remember PMA!  I CAN DO THIS!!
