Needing Encouragement ...

Monday, September 10, 2012

Okay ... I'm just going to admit it , I'm not doing so good here ! I was making great progress ( I can walk 3.6 miles a day now~ WITH the kids !) and my clothes were fitting better ( my pants almost fell off at my friends house the other day lol ) BUT for some reason I've fallen off the wagon and cant get myself going again !!! All I want to do is lay around and eat chocolate cake !!! I know I'm overly tired because my sick children have been keeping me up A LOT ~ but I can't keep doing this !! I think I need to set a short term goal or something to work toward to get myself out of this rut . Any suggestions ???

  Thanks for all the encouragement ! I've decided to commit to tracking my nutrition & see if that makes a difference . I really hate how much time it seems to take to calculate up all the home cooked meals I make but ... I guess it will be good motivation to create the menu plan I've been wanting & ACTUALLY follow it :))

    Short term goals are great! Start with something small:

Can you go for 3 walks this week?
Can you SKIP 3 tempting foods this week?
Can you beat the lazies 3 times this week, and exercise when you don't want to?

You got this!

    I've fallen into that rut too many times now. Spark streaks are great, start tracking your food? Maybe feeling accountable will help stave off the craving?

Also, I heard it said once that the hardest step is the first one out the door and I find it's true. Sometimes the last thing I want to do (ever again) is work out. Even if it's just a walk. It's so much easier to keep my butt on the couch, right? Then I force myself to get up and just suck it up for 10 minutes. I've never only gone for 10 minutes, I always go longer. Which sounds ridiculous when I type it. I think it makes me a cliche, but whatever, so long as I'm a cliche in a smaller size, right?

    I've been feeling the same way too! I've joined 2 workout challenges to help keep me accountable for exercising. And I'm trying my best to make good food choices, although that battle is harder.

    I know how you feel. I've been in a slump myself.

Have you tried a Spark Streak?
