Not every day can be your best, but make it worth living.

 I try to find ways to motivate and reward myself for meeting goals/making progress that don't involve food.  Like most women, my mind automatically goes to clothes and shoes.  I don't buy things for myself often so, this is a great motivator for me.  I bought a few shirts about a month ago and they are still sitting folded and unworn on my dresser.  I see them every morning and every night.  They are a constant reminder of what I can achieve if I stay strong.  I'm so close to meeting my 'new shirts' goal, but today I had a setback.  It could be anything that caused me to make no progress since the weekend.  Its discouraging and frustrating, but if I stick to the plan and keep at it, I'll be wearing those shirts in no time.  I'll be sure to post pictures when I do!

Leg workout:
15 lunges each leg with 2 10lb weights in each hand
25 squats with 2 10lb weights in each hand
x4

I vary this workout every few weeks by adding more lunges.  I started at 25 with no weights and worked up to where I am now.
