It may seem odd that you would need anything more than the mere thought of looking fabulous in your wedding dress – or out of it on your honeymoon! – as motivation to get to the gym. But on those days when you”re overworked, overtired, overstressed, and a giant tub of Ben and Jerry”s looks irresistible and the thought of moving a muscle except to lift a spoon to your mouth seems impossible, you may need a little extra inspiration. That”s where your imagination can be be a priceless tool!
