I was wondering what tools some of you are using to keep you motivated? There are two in my tool kit right now. The first one I got about 2 months ago and has really increased my exercise. It's a pedometer but so much more. It's called a Striiv and I got it on HSN. I won't go into all the details, but anyone can google it to see what it does. Let's just say that the little challenges I can do, trophies I can win and the game that comes with it keeps me motivated. I love the instant gratification of looking down and seeing where I'm at in relation to other days, or how many steps I need to finish walking across the golden gate bridge. I find myself getting up during commercials at night in order to meet the challenge of 50 steps in 5 minutes, in which I then get some "energy points" that I can then use in the little game. I love it.

The other tool is brand new and I'm still in the process of getting it all hooked up and set up. I got a Wii along with all of the Wii Fit Plus accessories. That will also increase my exercise. For me, exercise really helps with my weight release efforts.

What are some of your motivational tools? Linda
