I just finished up my fantastic month of personal training. Felt great, strong, totally psyched to continue and then? I think my motivation got sucked up into the vortex….and work.
Monday everything was cancelled but I made it in to work
Tuesday I was determined to get in a workout in the morning before work but didn’t
Today I blew off boot camp and worked another 10 hour day
See a trend?
Now, I have make a decision whether I want to continue boot camp, join Pilates tomorrow or just give up~~~eat and drink myself to a nice soft, round shape…which I am sure is my natural state!!
here’s what I am going to repeating tonight
The inner fire 
I am more certain than ever that it is the time of year – the amount of light in a day. When I started my last weight loss programme, I started in June, just as the days were getting super-long – five months later, 20 pounds gone and it happened almost without me noticing. Yes, I watched what I was eating, went swimming, went for walks, but I certainly did not kill myself (ala boot camp). I knew when November came and I went to the US and then Xmas, etc., that would be it. I’ve gained something like 6 pounds in the past 6 weeks. No, I’m not watching what I eat, yes I am still swimming and walking, but the motivation is totally gone. Perhaps give yourself a break and/or take a brief break from it all and wait for the days to get longer. That’s what I’m telling myself anyway.
lol, at least you lost 20 pounds!! I never lose anything-although my clothes fit better (aka looser) I suppose this isn’t the best time to make grand plans but…I know my motivation is there somewhere…maybe its’ just taking a nap?
i have visual motivations or reminders around the house.. I have a weekly exercise plan so everyday that i do what I should I cross it out in a colorful marker..I also have a graph I am working on… to hopefully slowly see my weight line go DOWN..also I have a jar that says LOST It is filling up with shells.. every pound I lose I put a shell in it… I think getting to bed ear;ier is huge with me.. when I go to bed late I end up eating junk and being slower the next day.. blah
wow, those are some good ideas but i don’t have a scale or want to go there. A plan would be good but right now the plan is everyday!!
you need one day off for your body to recover..I admit the day AFTER that day is the hardest day..
