After a rough start to the week Thursday was the "turn around" day. Maybe it was the sun or maybe it was just the cute baby smiles from my 7 mos old. But I got on the scale and was down another pound and felt much better about every thing!

I've been fighting a sinus thing since Sunday and only exercised once in the last 4 days. I haven't gone more than 2 days without exercise in 2 mos! I feel like I'm failing but I just have no motivation or energy.... I haven't gained any weight but that's mainly because I have no appetite and eating poorly.
The week has been a total bust in more ways than health too. Kids have been fighting, I've gotten terrible customer service with 2 different things, and the baby hates the carseat so going anywhere is hell.
Ahhhhhhh! 
Ever just want to do a restart on the week?

Hang in there. Your body needs time to heal. You can actually hurt yourself if you don't take a little time off to heal. Mom's need time off sometimes too. Too often we forget that. You're doing a fantastic job staying on track.

It's okay to rest up and get better. You haven't gone more than 2 days without exercise in 2 mos? That is terrific and you probably deserve a break. This week is almost over and you have next week to look forward to. Take care and I hope the best for you.

If you are fighting something, it's better to give yourself a break and don't look at it as failing. Oct. 2008, I got sick with an ear infection, but kept working out. It turned into bronchitis and a never-ending nagging cough. I finally broke down (almost literally) and gave myself permission to rest. It took almost 3 months to finally get well again, so if your body is in need of a break, then take it. This weather is wreaking havoc on all of us, so hang in there. Spring is just around the corner!

I've been there and done that. I raised five kids and I know where you are coming from. Fortunately they grow up. My baby boy is now 27. Anyway, just take a deep breath and try to remember that it's probably you, not them, and they are grating on your last nerve. I remember once when I was having a bad day and I was carrying a heavy new garbage disposal while trying to manage two kids, ages 2 and 5 back to the car. They were ever so slow in getting back into the car. I yelled at them to just please hurry up. I'm having a bad day!!! Just then I looked up and some man was going to his car. He looked at me and said, "Sounds like an attitude adjustment to me." I've never forgotten that. Don't worry so much about the exercise while you are sick. Get your body well and the motiviations will come back. Hang in there. Report Inappropriate Comment |
