help...I lost my motivation!!

DH and I will be separated for 6 weeks...and I thought I would get lots of running in - b/c I would be bored...but I just don't feel like it...and with the snow...I really don't want to go out...

since I'm not running...I'm eating like a pig...


I need new motivation

Me too!!! I gained a pound at my weigh in last night and I wasn't even upset over it!!! So... I went home and stuffed my face!!!

I wanted 10 more pounds by Easter, I don't think it's going to work

The honeymoon used to be a good motivation for me, but now I lost it

Count me in that crowd too. I'm having so much trouble choosing healthy foods over 'junk' foods.

Ive been 'starting tomorrow' for a few weeks now ! I have good days and bad days Today and yesterday were bad days!

Tomorrow ??

I noticed that when I do keep a log, I do much better. when I am counting points in my head, I always let one (or 2 or 3) slide here or there.

BAD BAD BAD (slaps hand)....

Lets get back on the bandwagon!

(jenn you can pig out, youre allowed !)

I'm not allowed!
Because I'm at high risk for gestational diabetes, I have to be extra careful, and IT'S SO HARD!

All I want to eat are bagels, mashed potatoes, and macaroni and cheese (Kraft, not the healthier homemade kind). Notice there are no fruits or veggies or protein on that list??
I need a kick in the a$$.

Re: help...I lost my motivation!!

ok...I'm not a mommy...but I have to start eating healthier...


should we use this thread as a journal? or would that be too revealing?

I think it's a great idea to keep this thread as a journal! I have eaten 1 pint of edy's vannilla bean ice cream and half a bag of potato chips for dinner. Not to mention the glass of wine I'm currently sipping on! We all have our days!

I blame it all on this crappy weather! so sad but when the sun was out I couldn't wait to get to the gym! Now I want to sleep in!

Re: help...I lost my motivation!!

I agree..this weather is NOT helping much, plus the fact that Im PMSing

Re: help...I lost my motivation!!

I'll use this thread as a journal, but be prepared. I will give full disclosure, and at times it's scary.

I'm currently toasting my first meal of the day... an english muffin, which I plan to put a touch of butter on. It will be accompanied by 1 cup of skim milk, and a large bright yellow vitamin.

I guarantee my eating will go downhill from here, although I am TRYING to behave.

Stay tuned for further updates...

Yabbo....think of your inspiration as seeing you hubby after being seperated for a while and him seeing you and telling you how amazing you look!
