In my mind, and in my anecdotal research, I've found motivation to be the biggest challenge for all, especially us girls. We can blame it on time (a.k.a. work, family, etc), but it comes down to lack of motivation or even desire. So, let's talk about this...
This will sound like I'm generalizing, but I think we should keep it simple. Are you just passing time on this planet and waiting to die, for it all to be over? Very, very few people will answer that question "yes." (If you did, proceed to your nearest emergency room for a psych eval.) If you answered "no," then don't you want to get the most out of life and your time here?
Your health (body and mind) is the foundation of your being. If you're not healthy, how can you really prosper, set a good example, and "suck the marrow out of life"?
Picture this: have you ever noticed how difficult it is for a heavy person to walk? Maybe your even thinking of yourself? It doesn't have to be that way. 10 minute bursts of activity three times a day is all it takes to not puff and wheeze. Park the car further from the office or the grocery store, take the stairs, walk to lunch or the coffee shop, walk the kids to the park...little tweaks.
What does this have to do with motivation? What's more motivating than every little thing that you do - every little move that you make - becoming easier and not such a struggle, your medical costs decreasing, your outlook increasing, your energy increasing.
Few things in life can provide such immediate, positive and all-encompassing benefits. Now move it!
