Whats your motivation?

What is your motivation to achieve your goal of losing weight or getting in better shape?  Mine personally is liking what I see in the mirror.  Right now I don't feel like I see me.  Instead its this faint idea of who I am, now that can be taken both figuratively and literally, and I would probably agree with that statement in both respects.  However for now we will concentrate on the literal.
Before I look in the mirror I expect to see someone who is thin, fit and has their head together.  Instead I end up seeing someone who has lost their way with their goals to stay in shape and be fit.
I can't say I spend every moment of every day believing I will achieve those goals or even working towards them.  A lot of that is my attitude and sabotaging myself with negative thinking.  So my goal for the week is to work on my negative thinking and self sabotaging.
Starting with today, I am going to put in to place an eating plan since I can't seem to make the right choices when I need to.  I tend to do well with structure and lists but not going quite to the point of planning every morsel I am going to put in my mouth for the week.  But just limiting my choices seems to help.  I personally really like the Body for Life for Women book and have always done well with their eating plan, so I am going to be using that for myself.  It also helps me eat smaller meals more often, remember to measure my food and eat all my fruits and veggies!  
The second thing I am going to do is try and check off many of my "to do" list items that I can come up with for the week so that I am not as distracted so that I can achieve my weight loss and fitness goals as well as my others with my classes.
Lastly I am going to have some fun, I am a rather serious person on the best of days and I am realizing more and more I am not having FUN, so with my new outdoor furniture put together (yep no thanks to me- B did it all) and a stack of magazines that just came in, I am going to enjoy the beautiful weather with my hubby and pups and drink a few glasses of wine and have a great evening!
