I fell off the wagon...

....and still off.  I seem to have lost my mojo, motivations.....everything!  I was doing great for 5 weeks, and then I decided that I would give myself a little leeway in my diet.  It started off innocently enough, but before I knew it, I was right back to eating the way I did before.  And again, everyday I say that I'm going to get right back up and dust myself off, but then the cravings take over again and I give in.

When I am eating bad, I don't have any will or energy to work out.  I don't have energy to do anything to be honest!  I haven't been to the gym in over a week and a half!  The last time I was there, I saw my trainer and she gave me a cool new workout programme to follow for 4 weeks.  It was such a motivating, fun routine and I felt for sure that this was it.  Then I felt a  bit off last week.  I was even off work for 2 days with flu symptoms and the worse headache I have had in quite a few years!  Even when I was feeling better, I still didn't feel like working out.   I need to break out of this cycle!!

The only "upside" to all of this nonsense is that I have only gained 2 pounds while eating like a complete and utter pig.  I know it will end up catching up with me again if I don't reign this in.  I wish I could just get to a place where I don't obsess about every little thing I eat.  So what if I eat one chocolate?  Does that mean I have to then eat the whole lot so I can "begin" my diet again the next day???  Because that's what goes on in my mind.  It's crazy!

Soooo.......I'm going to make a concerted effort to just eat healthily.  With the odd treat here and there.  I don't need to eat a whole pack of cookies at once.  Because it never just ends with that!

Tomorrow, I am hitting up the gym again.  Hopefully, going to the gym will give me the incentive to put healthier foods into my body.  I need to start looking after myself again.........

I will be back again soon!!!

  3. I was going through something similar last week until I watched "The Biggest Loser's" final episode. OMG! If that isn't motivating, I don't know what is! For me, the hardest part about working out is just getting to the gym. Once I get there, there's no problem, I just do what I gotta do.

  6. I know exactly how you feel! This happens to me all the time and sometimes it feels like I have been losing the same few pounds over and over again without really making any progress. But you know you can do this! Think of getting back on the wagon in small steps instead of one big leap and you may find that you make the leap anyway. I know that helps me get going and once I do I feel so much better for it! You are doing great and we are here for you!

  7. Portion control is key!!! You can have everything you want just in moderation. But don't stress.. we all have hiccups every now and again. I just got over one last week. Hang in there! And remember.. nothing tastes as good as being thin feels.

    Thanks for following my blog. I'm now following you too!!
