    Lori, that is a lovely, well thought out list. Thank you for sharing.

    Tenacity is an area that I am working on. Thank you for the reminder.

  2. Tim says:

    I find that the schedule is the most critical for me. If I don’t schedule my workout, and stick to it, I get lost and it doesn’t get done. That’s where the tenacity comes in handy I guess. haha

  3. I think I’m going to want to ask you to let me take a bit of this in a little while and put it on the Wii Moms (I’ll lead them here) later this month. I have my home page filled with Subway and the Twitter party now but this is the perfect lead in to what I’m saying to everyone right now.

    @Anne, Tenacity does seem like the forgotten point, doesn’t it. I know tenacious people (I’m married to one), but it doesn’t seem like a common trait.

    @Tim, I’m with you on the schedule. If I don’t schedule my training, it’ll get put off… and eventually forgotten.

    @Julie, I don’t think that Lori would mind you linking back to her article. Any connection with Wii Mommies is always welcome. In fact, I’m going to add them to the blogroll. :)

    Thank you @Ann! I appreciate that very much! Yes..Tenacity is vital in any endeavor – an important key to success. So great you are working on that Ann. :)

    @Tim LOL! Yes they do go hand in hand..My number one rule with my clients..Schedule your exercise.

    @Julie Absolutely! I’d be honored! Thank you and see you at the Twitter party! :)

    Such SMART advice! Scheduling is also my number one priority when it comes to exercising. It is truly amazing how an auto-pilot habit develops after a relatively short period of scheduling!

  7. Todd says:

    @Deb, you’re right-as long as we can be consistent, it doesn’t take long to develop a good habit.

  8. Lori – Great post! It’s funny, because my motivation is evolving and shifting. I’m happy to say that exercising & healthy living habits make me feel better (mentally & physically) so it has been a gift to stay motivated. Tenacity? Well… just by sticking to it, little by little, and celebrating my personal successes (and they are small) has helped me to stay with it. Great job once again!

  9. Todd says:

    @Kris, it sounds like you’re on the right tack. Keep up the great job!

  10. LoriShemk says:

    Hi @Deb! Now THAT was SMART advice! ;) You are so right..within a short time the scheduling becomes automatic and you will see that if you do not exercise at the scheduled time – something will feel amiss. Thanks Deb!

    Hi @Kris! It sounds as though you’ve integrated the emotional aspects of why exercise is important as opposed to ‘just’ the physical reasons. Very important to look inward as well. Great that you reward yourself Kris..so many don’t. Reward creates motivation and you know what motivation produces? Results! Thanks so much Kris! :)
