I reminded myself about the FACTS when it comes to my MOJO -- my personal magic, my motivation sweet spot. Here are those facts:
1) Motivation is not a bird that alights on my shoulder. It's something I can choose to create from within.
2) It is my personal responsibility -- and my opportunity -- to create my motivation.
3) When I make my own motivation, I do not feel like a victim anymore, and that is critical to working a good weight loss program.
4) When I decide to motivate myself, I am instantly filled with great ideas to accomplish the task.
5) Motivation follows action. It goes like this: I decide to get motivated, I take an action that will produce the desired result, and then I experience some motivation. If I don't muster much motivation, I act again. And again.
So, what can you do to motivate yourself, to muster your mojo, to feel your own personal magic?!
We're all different, but we can all make the DECISION to be motivated. It's a choice, as hard as that is to admit.
It's a choice. It is MY choice. It is YOUR choice.

I'm still going to school too, and I'm not looking forward to summer vacation when my daughter will be out of school and I'll still be taking classes. yuck. I havn't been doing well with dieting, I start and I stop, and I've tried a few things. I was doing Isagenix for awhile, and I think that would work, but I just can't afford it. I'm going to start a low-carb diet again and start walking and doing swim aerobics every day...hopefully that will help me deal with stress better AND start loosing again! I just found out I'm diabetic 
and the only good thing about that is that my insurance will finally pay for wls...now I just have to jump through their hoops and decide if that's right for me. All my doctors are pushing me towards it, because I have sooo much to loose. I've missed talking with you too, and I think I will stay around this time. I know what you mean about having someone to talk to who understands....everyone in my family (except me) is athletic, and they just don't get why it's so hard for me.
Have fun remodeling your house! lol It'll be nice when it's done, just keep thinking that!!

Also...you might want to try Craig's List for a great deal on some used exercise equipment.
Good luck to you.
