Trying to stay motivated
Good Morning Buddies,
I am trying really hard to stay motivated.
TOM’S lurking and making me emotional and just down.
I know these feelings will pass but they are so hard when they are here.
I’ve managed to stay on plan, eating really well and getting lots of exercise in but my scale doesn’t seem to want to budge. Maybe water gain right now I really don’t know but it’s not easy not letting it get me depressed.
Didn’t really want to blog but hoping it helps just to get my feelings out.
I’m trying to do what I can to get through this little rough patch without doing any damage.
I have my meals for the day all planned out as well as my workout routine.
This usually makes me feel motivated and ready to go but right now it’s not helping that much.
I will stick with my plan though. It’s not like I am having any of the cravings I get sometimes at this time of the month (not yet anyway) so I should be grateful for that.
I guess I just feel a little defeated after working so hard the last couple of days to eat right and work my butt off to not see a difference.
Oh well no one said this was gonna be easy.
I know things will get better.
Thanks for listening buddies
Hugs
Lori

Hey! I know it’s frustrating, but weight loss seems to work in funny ways…it isn’t the week-to-week losses/gains, but the overall results after several weeks or months. You are doing great to try and get through this frustrating time and continue to eat healthy and work out. You can do it! =) Don’t give up, and think of how you’ll feel in a few weeks, when your efforts start to pay off big (and they will)!
You keep eating right and exercising and that scale will move, promise!!!
Hang in there Lori I have been doing the same thing I started this in August and have lost only 9 pounds since I do up and down because I haven’t been strict. That is changing so I hope to see improvement. Spring will be here soon and it will be time to open the pool and I don’t want to just sit there and say the water looks great but I am not putting this body in a suit. Tired of feeling that way. Hope to be trimmer by spring but won’t if I don’t get off my butt and get it really moving. Lots of Hugs for you. Nat
It’s proven during TOM we gain at times up to five pounds. You probably lost but are holding onto water. Don’t sweat it.
Do Not I repeat do not let that munchie demon (check out my previous blog about this crumb snatcher) get to you. Your doing so well.
Aaawww Lori, I’m so sorry. Your always there for me, wish I had the magical words to make you feel better. I do know one thing though…they say we all reach plateaus (sp?) and stay the same for a bit, then all of a sudden…BOOM…the weight starts falling off. I’m sure if you are doing all the right things its going to pay off. Its just taking its time. I think once we turn 40 everything is twice as hard. Sending big hugs your way…smile your loved!!!
I hope you feel better! (((hugs)))
Awww, Lori, *big hugs* You will get there, we all have those days. You just keep doing what you are doing, ok? Love you lots! Kama
Hi Lori,
I see we are the same age–and I have the same problem with losing weight and know how frustrating it is!!!!! I hope you feel better–and hang in there–we WILL meet our goals!!!! I promise if I find the “secret” to speeding up 40 year old metabolisms–I will let you know!!!
Ahh you and me, we need to stay away from the scale and just do what we know is right, me thinks
Thanks for sharing. I have been feeling down too. *hugs* We can do this. We know we can, yes?!?
