Starting Over Again

[Zahira]

I feel like all I do is start over. I lost 45 pounds 5 years ago. Over the past 2-3, I've gained 35 back. I'm feeling miserable again. I have no motivation to eat well or exercise. I haven't worked out in weeks. It's hard to get back on track when the holidays are coming up, but I feel like saying, "I'll start on the first" is crap. I feel like I post the same thing over and over, but I also feel like posting will maybe help me stay accountable. I was running, don't love it. Have tons of weight equipment, get bored, etc. My first small goals are to just pick a workout, any workout, and get up and do it, then maybe go more concrete. Not use the fact that the holidays are coming up as an excuse to eat whatever any other day. So, I've put it out there, and I hope it helps.

GO!GO!GO! you can do it. 

 

But seriously.

 

What causes you to get bored with a workout? If it's that you never enjoyed it maybe it's not the workout you should be doing. If it's that you're always sore maybe you're just doing too much and need to go slower. DOn't give up.

I think the boredom is my short attention span. I'll be fine for a week or two, then lose interest. Running hold it ok, but I don't super enjoy it. And, lack of motivation is compounding it, it's,like a vicious cycle, but I WILL break it! Thanks for the encouragement.
