Makes you seems like a real person!<BR/><BR/>Honestly, I'm with you. Being busy, getting bored with the exercise/watching what you eat routine....it's just old and yuck. I've been doing it since last October, but when it feels like it's consuming your life it's hard to continue.<BR/><BR/>This too shall pass....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12473868.post-70596826092436524342007-02-13T06:39:00.000+01:002007-02-13T06:39:00.000+01:00Okay, I won't be nicey-nice and sickly encouraging...Okay, I won't be nicey-nice and sickly encouraging...you have a enough of that in your blogs to go back and read from! I'll just tell you my story...<BR/><BR/>After many many months of doing great, and getting to almost where I wanted to be I really started to hate it. Despise it. I hated thinking ALL the frickin' time about eating this, not eating that, getting my cardio in, getting my weight training in, getting all my water in, etc. etc. etc. I was done...I had enough. So I figured...I owed it to myself to not consume myself with all these thoughts (and actions). I was just going to not think about it for awhile. I mean I had been thinking about it, almost every single day for over a year and a half, so what's a few weeks.<BR/><BR/>Well, a few weeks felt damn good. Before I knew it, a month had passes, then two and three. Falling back into old habits is so easy to do, it doesn't take much at all. It's effortless, and most of all...comfortable. Like an old friend you haven't seen for years but you talk like it was just yesterday. <BR/><BR/>I gained back 45-50 lbs. of what I worked so hard for. It was so depressing, and I would have taken it back for anything. All my hardest days trying to stay on track didn't compare to the despair I felt having it all back on me. Now, I am still about 20 lbs. away from where I started to stray, and then I still have more to lose from there. This time around is so much harder for me. The newness of motivation wore off more quickly, and the whole process is so much slower. I wish I never let myself let go in the first place.<BR/><BR/>Just something to think about. I do, whenever I get exhausted of having to think and work at it every bloody day. No one ever told me this was going to be easy. I think it has been the hardest thing I've had to do in all my life. I hope that someday it will get easier for me, too.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09526715001450245593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12473868.post-81973581298922618072007-02-12T21:44:00.000+01:002007-02-12T21:44:00.000+01:00Is it such a bad thing to take a break for a week ...Is it such a bad thing to take a break for a week or two?<BR/><BR/>As for cardio, I just got "Dance Dance Revolution" for our playstation 2. I know, I'm a bit old for it, but I seriously work up a sweat and get out of breath doing it! And it's fun. No boredom here. Of course, it helps that I'm competitve and it gives me great short-term goals (I have got to get an "A" on "Girls just wanna have fun" tonight, lol.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12473868.post-50220354706933424352007-02-12T16:12:00.000+01:002007-02-12T16:12:00.000+01:00Thinking the things you think..man, every human be...Thinking the things you think..man, every human being thinks those things...well minus those natural athletes that like to get hot and sweaty for some reason...which to this day I don't understand, but secretly envy. I would suggest you make a rule where you keep doing what you are doing..but everytime in the day that you start thinking about weightloss you have to add on a situp at the workout...maybe that would help with you focusing too much on the unimportant stuff (such as what the scale says) and more on how great your body is feeling.<BR/><BR/>working out is great, but being consumed by it, really does suck. But, you will never forgive yourself if you don't push through it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12473868.post-39656163824415256942007-02-12T15:23:00.000+01:002007-02-12T15:23:00.000+01:00You're doing a horrible job at everything!You're doing a horrible job at everything!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
