This weeks Monday Project was to make a motivation wall. The things that push us and our goals for this challenge. Mine is pretty simple and straight forward because that's just the kind of girl I am. 
This is the whole wall. It is hard to read like this, so I broke it down into halves. You can also click on the picture to make it bigger.
This is the top half. My grandkids are my biggest motivation. I want to be able to keep up with them and the older they get, the faster they are going to get. My next 5k is a biggie. It is March 13th and I am bound and determined that I am going to run the whole thing without my ankle or knee giving me any problems. I would have loved to do the mini marathon in San Diego, but I had to be a realistic. If I haven't been able to run a whole 5k, how am I going to do more than four times that and keep up with my wonderful sisters who are 20 and 30 years younger than me? I'm not going to hold anyone else back. I tried to get my friend from home to come with me, but she couldn't. We would have been a good team, alternating running and walking. She is the friend that I walked the Indy mini with before.
This is the bottom half. It includes my goals, me running the last 5k, my wii games and the picture of my big old butt. It usually is on my fridge and it says "Nothing tastes as good as being thinner feels!". That is my motivation wall. I'm going to put it in my computer room because that is where I workout and spend a lot of time. I've had a rough couple of weeks and have been looking for my motivation Guess what? I found it right here. Thank you for the assignment sisters. After today, I think I will be right back on track. No, I know that I am back on track!!
you've got two months to train - you are totally gonna kill that 5K! :)
ReplyDeletekids are so impressionable! your grandkids are fortunate to have a grandmother who wants to be a positive influence in their lives.
yes. 2 months is definitely long enough!! you're gonna rock it! and I LOVE YOUR WALL!! I'm having so much fun seeing what lights people's fires and I have gotten so much inspiration from all of them!!
ReplyDeleteLove your wall! You are totally going to rock that 5k!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I am inspired by looking at this! Congrats on a great wall and you WILL rock that 5K!
ReplyDeleteHi !!! I love that you're looking for ways to keep learning and growing. It's not always easy, but declaring your goals and writing them, posting them is a great motivator! I'm trying to either learn something new, try something new or do something I've been afraid to try, at least 2x a week!! Thanks for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteYou'll tackle that 5K. Great job on the wall. And kids? Yeah, I think they're the most motivating thing in my life. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great wall Nancy! Those little ones are wonderful reasons for doing everything you can to get healthier!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm with you on the half marathon....I would be walking the majority of it too...or at least that's how it feels now.
Great job!
Great wall, Nancy, very motivating! I'll be looking forward to reading how your 5k training goes!
ReplyDeleteThata girl Nancy!! I like your attitude! You will achieve your goals with that wall for motivation!!! Great job!
ReplyDeleteI love your wall! In fact, I was sitting here at my computer wondering how I was going to get all the things done that need to be done. Barry basically kicked me out of the hospital and made me promise to run this afternoon... ! You have made me do it! Thank you! I am going to change right now and JUST DO IT!!
ReplyDeleteI love it! It's all just laid out for you to see and give you the little push we all need sometimes. Way to go!
ReplyDeleteGreat motivational poster!! You can do it. I am so proud of you. I hate to run, but I do love to walk. Love & blessings from NC!
ReplyDeleteI enlarged the bottom part and I love the goals that you made for yourself. I hope you're doing well and sticking to them. I like the drinking two waters for every diet coke you drink. :) I am proud of you!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very cool project...I probably need to do something like that! Good luck with the 5k!
ReplyDeleteI love the two waters for every diet Coke...I have GOT to get better about that!
ReplyDeleteI love it. I think being a cool grandma is great. My mom is one too. I like your pictures of your Wii games and Butt.=) Whatever motivates you is what works. Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteYou are filled with Motivation my friend. I love this assignment and I know I need to get back on board with the Sisterhood. I am doing much better myself with getting back on track. Look at all your comments and friends you have met along your journey. You rock! Love the poster!
ReplyDeleteAh! love your Motivation Wall! I wish I was motivated to run!
ReplyDeleteYou are awesome! Keep it up!
Blessings & Aloha!
Look forward to reading about your progress. Unfortunately the only running I do is to the kitchen..hehehe. Love your motivation wall!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your motivation wall, Nancy! SO Much! One of my favorite quotes is nothing tastes as good as thin feels :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited you signed up for another 5K, and I really wish you were coming to SD with us.
LOVE!!!
What a great motivation poster. When I see all the way that the Sisters have inspired you, I wonder what's holding me back from joining. I'll get there ... maybe if I keep following your progress?
