Motivated Weight Loss

[landeraan]

Hello FitBit Community! 

I am ready to be healthy. I got my tonsils removed my senior year of high school and during the recovery period, I lost so much weight (47 pounds)! I was so happy to feel and look so good before college. But during my 5 year stint at college, I fell off the wagon and gained a decent amount of the weight back. The freshmen 15 with the same compounded interest rate of my student loans, wahhhh. 

But now I am ready to change that and get back down. I am very active but I have a hard time advance planning meals and finding time to work out with a busy/hectic work and social life. It is all about balance and that is the one thing I cannot manage. 

I think working out in the morning is going to be hardest part. My evenings are sporadic and I end up working out 2-3 times a week, but during winter, I work out 6 nights a week due to cold weather. I travel A LOT for work and pleasure. I average being on a flight every 2-3 weeks.

Any advance for how to get motivated for the mornings?

How can I combat travel convenience and timing to get through this? Alcohol, food and fun are the staples of my industry and the demise of my success! 

I need to know I can do this. I am ready to get past this so I can keep moving forward. 

I know making this a social aspect of my life will change how I do this, please feel free to friend me! 

Thank you for your input!

We can do this! 

Also, airports are the best place to get your steps up

Thanks girl! Glad you are onboard! 

That is a valid point. I usually walk up and down the concourses once I find my gate.. and then run across the airport when they change it! My biggest issue is company dinners where we sit and eat for 3 hours at a time. I always order something light for the meal, but mainly its all the other things and alcohol. Wine for days.
