This sounds like a good thread to be a part of
I am frustrated with myself today... i was going to go to the gym and did not go Argh! I have to stop sabotaging myself.
Yeah, it can be hard to be motivated sometimes to drive to the gym. That's why my boyfriend and I invested in a Wii. It's always in the living room staring at us, so it's harder to ignore or put off. And on the days that are brutally hot we don't have to worry about getting out in it to get a good workout.
But even if you don't have a Wii or exercise equipment there are always exercises you can do in your own home, you just have to get up and do them. I know, easier said than done. lol
I'm frustrated this morning. The scale this morning told me I was 3 lbs heavier than yesterday morning. I can't attribute it to eating a large meal or extra salt. I think maybe it might have something to do with getting somewhat dehydrated on sunday golfing in the 90 degree heat and my body must have been hoarding everything I drank yesterday. But, meh, largest day over day gain in a month. I feel like I just lost a week of progress. *sigh*
Motivation.... NIL. WEnt to the gym yesterday, felt good about that; did well with food. Last night I was on here and I read a post with some pictures.... kind of a before and *present/in progress* photo. It totally took teh wind out of my sails. This person was upset about their post-pregnancy body.... I would pay money to have her post pregnancy body. I feel like God is punishing me or something - I know that sounds crazy but it's how I feel. I don't understand why this had to happen to me. It's irrelevent anyway. At this point, it is, what it is, and I have to deal with it, one workout at a time. Woke up feeling lousy -- did manage to get to the gym; got my 20 mins HIIT cardio in plus some light upper body weights (gotta be a bit careful wtih the tendonitis). Went to shower... ohhhh not good. There had been a spinning class in so the change room was full. I am/was so embarassed about my body that I had a panic attack; not a bad one, but enough to be kinda scary. I'm not going to post pictures but suffice it to say, I gained 80 lbs during my pregnancy and still need to lose 50 lbs.... I look like an onion with legs - it's absolutely awful. Actually I still look pregnant . I'm waiting for someone to ask me when I'm due... at which point I'll probably burst into tearsl
I am proud of myself for going to the gym regardless of how lousy I felt though.... I think that's positive
Cheers,

Just checking in. Making sure I'm re-motivated to be back to my normal routine. You see, I was on vacation al last week, and while I didn't go off the wagon or do anything I regret, I got away from my normal routine. The biggest things were, I wasn't able to count my calories like I've been doing, and I wasn't able to do my normal weight lifting schedule. I was still able to lose some weight over the last week, but it was hard to measure because of spending a lot of time out in the sun and heat and different levels of dehydration and water retention. Today, I've resumed counting calories, and I'm heading back to the gym for my normal monday weight lifting routine. Wish me luck!
