Been a little off this week so far … need some motivation
I’ve been a little absent this week so far, I’m feeling a total lack of motivation for whatever reason. I’m still trying to adapt to my new schedule with my classes at night twice a week. I did make it to the gym this morning, because I have class tonight. I had such a hard time moving myself out of my bed. Then I thought laying here awake is not getting anything done, let’s move it. I did it, but the feeling of blahs are still around.
Plus, my eating habits have been maybe not totally crappy, but definitely not even clase to where they should be this week. I feel like I want to eat everything, I have been resisting for the most part, but I don’t know what is wrong with me. I really to sit down and take stock of what is going on in my life that is making act this way. Although it has only been the last few days I want to stop it before it goes any further and I back slide too far.
I really need to snap out of it. I know we all go through this from time to time or even more often, so how do you snap out of it? I’m looking for a shot of motivation, if anyone has any to spare, please send it my way.
Have a good day!

YES CORRECT WE ALL GO THROUGH THIS FROM TIME TO TIME. I UNDERSTAND THIS WEEK HAS BEEN HARD FOR ME AS WELL IM ON VACATION SO YOU CAN IMAGINE WHAT I HAVE BEEN EATING. BUT AS FOR YOU ALL I DO IS LOOK AT OLD PICS AND OLD JEANS AND JUST TRY AND THINK BACK TO 54 POUNDS AGO. WHY WOULD YOU START ALL OVER AGAIN YOU HAVE COME TO FAR NOW TO TURN AROUND. YOU ARE MORE THAN HALF WAY TO 100 POUNDS PICTURE THAT DAY…HOPE THIS WILL HELP
Adapting to new schedules, changes, etc. can do a number on motivation and routine. We get our goals set, plans made, get going, then suddenly the script changes and we have to adapt. That can be stressful, even if you don’t FEEL stressed or realize it. Maybe a little lack of sleep because you’re mind is on all this new stuff… So it’s good to sit back, take stock of the situation, maybe do a little re-arranging of your goals, time slots, whatever. Bottom line though, to stay motivated and energized to keep going with your goal, we can’t feed our stresses with the old familiar comfort foods and inactivity. We must keep on the right track and the motivation will bounce back.
Okay, so I went looking in my little arsenal of motivation and found this from sparkspeople.com. I hope it helps. I know it helped ME to read it again, so THANK YOU.
Huggggggggggggs,

Are You Giving Your Goals Your Best Effort?
Your dreams deserve better than a half-hearted effort. Meet your goals with a weak handshake and they’ll soon be waving you goodbye. Since you probably don’t want to look back on a life full of “almost made it” memories, it’s time for total commitment. Leave it all on the field, don’t hold anything back. Is there anything more satisfying than pouring out your entire being, straddling the cliff, reaching your total limit, then looking up and realizing that oh-my-gosh-I-can’t-believe-I-really-did-it? And is there anything more tragic than failing and realizing you could have done more? If you feel “tuned out” of your current life, that’s okay. Make your first goal to build a life that you can get “in”-to. Then don’t look back. Make every day count and live purposefully, live energetically, live completely.
“There are only two options regarding commitment. You’re either IN or you’re OUT. There’s no such thing as life in-between.”
