Here at SparkPeople, we're always looking for new ways to motivate and inspire you to reach your goals. What we've discovered in our years (and years and years) of helping people become the best version of themselves is that setting attainable daily goals and checking them off is a tried-and-true path to success. Which is why we created SparkCoach, a brand new goal-setting program designed to change your life. Discover what to expect and get ready for a whole new approach to your goals.

I have my gym bag packed, my hair is already in a ponytail and I've looked through a few workouts for inspiration, and yet, I don't think I can make myself exercise today. I spent most of the weekend unpacking in my new place and have been feeling under the weather for a few days in a row now. I know a workout will make me feel better, but for the life of me, I cannot muster the motivation to actually get it done. Now that it's 3 p.m., though, I realized it's okay. Skipping my workout today doesn't mean I'm going to gain weight or lose my motivation for life. It doesn't mean I'm giving up or failing. It doesn't mean I'm less than. What it does mean is that I've had a busy weekend and my body is trying to get me to slow down. It does mean that I can come back tomorrow and get a sweat session in without losing momentum. It's a good lesson for this perfectionist and I hope if your body is sending similar signals you have the strength to listen and still be proud of yourself and still be motivated to take on tommorrow (or the next day) with gusto! | | | From Side Salad to Supper
