Motivation is MIA...

This stinks. I stink at staying motivated... or even getting motivated. It should be easy, I have it hanging in my closet, staring at me daily. It's a dress I need to fit in by October. I think the problem is- I bought it 4 sizes bigger than what I was at 20 weeks pregnant (first pregnancy I blew up in weight and kept it all on and was afraid this would happen again). I haven't tried it on, but I imagine it will be big on me and I have to alter it anyhow. Guess maybe that's why it's not really motivating me to lose the weight. grrr...
I go to the doctor next week so hopefully I'll be able to start running soon. I have timing issues, but fortunately daylight lasts into the night and past bedtime for Tyler. I think after 7:30 is the safest time for me to go running--- unfortunately it's after a meal and relatively close to when we eat.
We've skipped the walks to the horse farm this week due to temps in the high 80s and 90s. It's tough to justify taking Ben and Tyler out for walks when it's 85* at 9:30am, as it is today. And due to those temps, I've also skipped doing my workout videos- no AC and it's been registering hotter in the house than outside!

On a side note, I miss the days of being able to go to a store and try something on before buying it. I've bought a few things to try to wear this weekend for a baby shower I'm going to, only to come home and find that it looks hideous on me...Boo = [

So, if you have any motivation to share, please pass it along.
