Oh motivation, where did you go?

I am looking for the motivation I had after participating in my first 5k. I was so pumped after it and then this week my workouts have been dismal. You would think with my weight loss and the 4 workouts from last week I would continue with the same path. But I haven't. Food wise I've been doing well and I hope the scale agrees with me on Monday.

I've been having a hard time getting motivated to work out. I think I realized why that is. I worked out hard last week because I had a goal short term goal - to complete the 5k. But now I don't have any short term goals. But that is changing starting Monday.

My goal for the next 5 weeks will be to follow the 5k Your Way training plan from Sparkpeople. I want to be able to improve my walking pace and hopefully one day soon maybe even jog. I have to start somewhere I am going to follow this plan for the next 5 weeks. My goal at the end of the 5 weeks will be to improve my time by at least 2 minutes per mile. I also want to increase my speed because at the end of September I will be going to a Breakfast Summit in SF and there will be walking involved. I don't want to be the one that the group is waiting for.

Wish me luck!
