Motivation needed!

Have you seen my motivation? I'm 9 days the end of my first challenge, as in I should be on day 9 of my second 90 day challenge, but I am having a little trouble getting motivated.

I stopped finding time for jogging about 2 months ago, and then about a month ago you may remember I had an appendectomy. I went out yesterday and I wasn't totally disappointed in my stats but my incision did hurt when I ran. I'm glad I didn't completely lose all that I worked for, but I did lose a month before my surgery that I could have been up to a longer interval time and even a farther run.

I am now 116 lb so I surpassed my goal, which is great! But I don't want to lose much more weight because I want to be curvy and fit. I am definitely curvy but I want a flat stomach and less of these jiggly Oprah arms. My second 90 challenge was to take care of just that but I am so weak in the first place that I feel like a sit up doesn't do anything because I can't do it properly lol. I haven't put in any real effort so I can't complain really.

I'm 200% happy with my weight loss, I just want to be 200% happy with my body but something tells me I need to work on some other issues first. I have never been one to have much self confidence. I can fake it, and even now I almost have it since I am at a record low weight that I haven't seen since before I was a teenager. But I'm not quite convinced of it.

I am not officially starting my 2nd challenge until I find this motivation because I'm not even working out. I'm still taking the shakes because they do provide me with energy I never had before but apparently energy doesn't = motivation anymore. If you know where to find my motivation, please leave a comment lol.

PS. I have fallen in love all over again with the shakes since I started using the recipes and making smoothies with them! I am excited everyday to make a decision about what kind of shake to make!

I can't find my tape measure so I'll give you my latest known stats.
For my starting stats I used measurements I had taken in May when I was going to start a diet but never did... But I started the Body By Vi Challenge on July 14 and weighed the same, was doing no exercise, so I assume the measurements to be the same.  My profile picture is from August 30th.
