In one way I miss going to the gym, because there was always someone there who inspired me. Interesting how many of us no longer read these magazines too :)<br /><br />Nicole it sucks being stuck in a car with a screaming kid doesn't it? Skye is shocking in the car, always has been. I'm so jealous of mums whose kids sleep in the car - never happened for us! <br />I'm trying to find something new to motivate me too :)<br /><br />Yep Shar there seems to be a bit of theme here doesn't there? An event goal is a great way to keep motivated.<br /><br />I agree Liz, I have a picture beside my desk of a fit chick walking along the beach - the sun highlights her abs - awesome shot!<br /><br />Doesn't look like many of us are anymore Kristy! I love that feeling of satisfaction when you've done your exercise for the day too, makes you feel great doesn't it?<br /><br />LOL Madga, so true! Wasn't the common street name for "Muscle and Fitness" actually "Muscle and Fiction"?<br /><br />Thats a good idea Alicia - I'm not quite sure why I'm hanging on to all my old mags - might be time for the dump too I think! Being a mum is the biggest role-model job in the world!Miss Positivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11573832934725003553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23898302.post-50298106668241058112011-02-02T16:17:35.029+10:002011-02-02T16:17:35.029+10:00Ditto to the above!

Being a role model for Ava. That's enough to get me moving :)<br /><br />xoxoBug's Mummahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05574364060804686926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23898302.post-22965874113865659612011-01-31T13:54:28.014+10:002011-01-31T13:54:28.014+10:00Fitness mags .. same old, same old.

I'd die with a leg in the air if I read something new and learnt something from it so I too have stopped buying them for quite some time now.<br /><br />What motivates me? ticking off my running training sessions; proudly reporting in to my coach that I've done so; seeing the scale number go down; visualising where I want to be with weight / fitness; knowing that I'm taking care of me.Magdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12514613437508389800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23898302.post-40800283758765337692011-01-31T12:20:36.784+10:002011-01-31T12:20:36.784+10:00I'm no longer into fitness mags either Hilary....I'm no longer into fitness mags either Hilary...<br /><br />My motivation I think comes from knowing how much better I feel getting up at 5.20am each weekday morning for either a walk or run. The 2 or 3 days I skipped, I felt really crap at work and it effected my moods...Kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12057429568641284737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23898302.post-65221310439021902762011-01-29T22:48:26.599+10:002011-01-29T22:48:26.599+10:00I'm not into fitness mags either, but I love g...I'm not into fitness mags either, but I love great fitness photography.Liz Nelsonhttp://www.lastchancetraining.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23898302.post-66123282225290859642011-01-29T16:52:18.537+10:002011-01-29T16:52:18.537+10:00Mmmmm common theme amongst us new mums?

I no longer buy fitness mags either, although a running one may be purchased as soon as I've had this bub. <br /><br />At the mo my motivation is not great but normally I'm motivated by a goal / event etc.<br /><br />XxxSharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07968710962421191219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23898302.post-76643139598262806962011-01-29T15:50:00.855+10:002011-01-29T15:50:00.855+10:00Grrrr to being stuck in a car with a grizzly/screa...Grrrr to being stuck in a car with a grizzly/screaming child! That is something that I just don't tolerate very well at all!<br /><br />Motivation? Hmmm... Mine seems to have gone missing since I had Eva and if it does come back it's there for a couple of days and then disappears again! LOL <br /><br />I too used to buy heaps of fitness mags but like Rene mentioned, cause I know what a majority of them have to do in order to maintain that look, it puts me off buying them. I now buy the odd mag but not very often. <br /><br />I guess I am trying to find something new to motivate me now :) <br /><br />Talk soon<br /><br />Nicole xxNicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09893545483669992750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23898302.post-61584609610477805662011-01-29T14:19:58.782+10:002011-01-29T14:19:58.782+10:00I am hearing you on the sacry age of 36 Hils! But ...I am hearing you on the sacry age of 36 Hils! But it actually is driving me to be fabulous during this pregnancy and then see out my remaining "30's" in spectacular style. I am determined to ROCK!<br /><br />As for motivation unfortunately for me I seem to get the most motivated when I am in the city or at the beach (both rare occasions) and see hot mummas! I admire women who can keep themselves in awesome shape while also being amazing mothers and playing with and nurturing their kids :)<br /><br />I rarely buy fitness mags anymore because I know what the models in there (on the whole) have to do to maintain those physiques and that is not how I choose to live my life.<br /><br />I promise I will update my blog soon ;)<br /><br />rene xxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
