I am going to nominate Karey for Monday's eating and for exercising. I felt like she had a very well balanced day with her food and she did 5 miles on the bike. Wa-hoo! Go Karey!
I was thinking it may be good to just leave a comment on the original post of the day so we don't have 9 posts a day.
Then someone (Julia maybe, or I can) can count the votes and do a second post for the day to say who the winner of the day is.

My inspiration
What inspires me to lose weight. Well so far I have lost 20 lbs. I have 2 more weeks before I check my inches again, and I have 7 lbs to lose to get to my ultimate goal of 130 for october. I feel so great!! My clothes fit me, my self esteem is up, I look forward to working out and weighing my self everymorning. Losing what I have lost has also motivated me to continue my diet and I don't cheat as often, and it motivates me to not want to crash too.
I haven't been drinking pop, eating pizza, ice cream cookies, crackers, and everything I used to eat on a regular basis anymore. I let myself cheat a little on saturday, but I don't really even desire to cheat really, because when I do cheat I am reminded of how unhealthy I felt before. I feel like my stomach is so used to not having the junk food go through it that it really feels it when I eat it now. I still mildley cheat during the week, but I feel better when I don't. My IBS symptoms have completely dissapeared. I never feel bloated anymore (unless I eat pizza or pop or chocolate). I am more flexible than I have been since highschool 10 years ago, and here is the big one.....I actually feel like jogging!!! My husband has been trying to get me to go jogging for years now, and I just never felt like I could do it physically. I haven't gone yet, because there is allways to much going on, and I need to do it indoors, because my ears and lungs are so sensitive to the cold, but I am looking forward to starting.
Those are all inside influences that motivate me, but I also have outside motivations.
I want to live the long life I was promised in a blessing.
I want to prevent cancer, and other diseases.
I want to be an example for my kids.
I don't think its shallow at all Gwen to want to be good looking for your husband. I think that is an important motivation. It helps keep a healthy marriage in a lot of ways.
Our bodies are gifts from our heavenly father and that is a major motivation to take care of myself.
I know 28 isn't that old, and I am feeling this less, but there are a lot of days that I worry about ostioporosis and arthritis and just the things that come with aging, and I want to put those off as long as I can. I do feel a lot of weekness in my joints and bones and I want to make them stronger. I know that hip and knee surgery are really painfull!
I also feel like our world is coming to a point again where we are going to need to be more resourcefull and I would like to become that before I am forced into it. I hate change unless its my idea!hehe
Anyway, thanks for your comments too on what motivates you. It motivates me too!!

Inspiration!
Great idea Gwen.
Some things that inspire me to BE HEALTHY...
I want to feel healthy and strong.
I want to look good for myself and hubby.
I want to be able to always fit in my favorite jeans.
I want to be able to run and play with my kids always.
It will be nice to be able to climb into the McDonald's playplace and still be able to get in there. :)
I want to teach my kids about the joys of being outside and not to be addicted to video games, computers, and television. Okay, I've got to work on these too. :)
I want to be able to do the things that I enjoy like: rollerblading, hiking, walking, running, wakeboarding, riding my bike- all of these wonderful activities!
I want to stay healthy in my later years and be able to run after my grand babies too! :)
I want to bench press Justin! Totally kidding, sounded good though! However, I can bench press Rachel and Ryan- tee hee.

Inspiration
I thought it might be nice if we all posted what inspires or motivates us to lose weight and be healthy.
I want to look good for my sweet husband (I know. Kind of shallow.)
I want to be able to run after my stubborn little 2 1/2 year old when he thinks he's big enough to run down the street by himself without being winded.
I want to live a long, happy, healthy life so I can watch my kids grow and their kids grow and, hopefully, their kids grow.

Eight Exercise Energy Zappers
The scene seems right. An up-tempo song blasts through the speakers around the room. All around you, people race on the treadmill and grunt as...
