Off the wagon with no motivation

I have so Totally fallen of my heathly eating, working out routine! I have not been to the gym in over a month, and have not worked out at all even outside other than walks with Iz into town. I have been eating and drinking WAY too much junk and the worst part is , i can't seem to stop myself.

It is amazing that I have not been packing back on the pounds, i am up 1 or 2 but I think that is about it. But I feel HUGE!!!

I really really really need to get back at it. I feel so much better when I am more active! I have been a little down lately, and I honestly think it is because I am not working out. So what is stopping me? Good question...excuses, excuses excuses!!!!

There is a 5k coming up next Sunday the 9th and I have had two friends ask me to do it with them. They have never done one before, but both are working out regularly. The one runs regularily. I feel obligated to do it with them but know that I will be the last to cross the finish line. URGH I guess I need to just shut up and start moving again!!!

It never ceases to amaze me how fast you lose your working out stamina and how long it takes to get it back.....so unfair.

Well I am going to recommitt to get moving the next week and half to attempt to be ready for this 5k. If it is nice outside when I get home, Izzy and I will be going for a walk/jog....pray i don't die!!!

On a total side note, i am a total nervous wreck about an upcoming dr appt on monday, i am not ready to share yet why i am so nervous but please hope/pray that i am over reacting and there is nothing going on. After a bit of googling I am hopeful that it isn't anything to be too concerned with but i will be happy when the appointment is over on monday!

***Update, i am proud to say I actually went home and went for a walk/jog (mostly walking) with izzy...hey it is a start.

Are you okay? Email me if you need to chat!

I am SO with you on the exercise front. I decided two months ago to start training for a mini...I haven't run in more than a week and have ZERO motivation to get out there and do it. And I need to if I'm going to train. I know my muscles will be sore again, and my endurance will suffer...it totally stinks.

Seriously, I hope you're okay and know that I'm here if you need/want to chat:)

All I have to say is Amen to that, sista! I fell off before our move (I blame it on the stress) and have yet to get back on....but I am not so lucky in that I've gained almost all back what I had lost :( And it does suck. And I want to get motivated too, but then I don't want to watch what I eat again, but I don't want to by miserable, and on and on and on :( I wish I had the energy and metabolism of a 12 year old!
