I have not really posted for a few weeks or whatever because ....
I am officially off my bandwagon.
In a slump.
Feeling defeated.
Feeling bloated.
Feeling lazy.
Eating whatever the heck I want, "because I deserve it with all the stress I've gone through".
All of this, is ridiculous. I feel that way BECAUSE I haven't worked out only TWO times in the last like MONTH. NO JOKE..
However, one of the 2 times, was the new hip hop hustle class at SweatyChix... it RULES!
Anyways, I have been super fiesty and impatient the last week, waking up in bad moods, and just feeling irritated. I know working out can help all of this "so called slump" disappear. So if I know this simple equasion is solved by exercise, then what the crap is my problem? Why is it so hard to get back on track once you've EASILY fallen off?
I was doing great, tracking my food and exercise online, doing weigh in's w/my old trainer.. etc
It seems like when I have all of these things to keep in schedule with, is when I fail the most. I get overwhelmed with all of the tasks and answering to things that I just give up. I'm SO up and down with this. I look at some of my FB friends and see that they just naturally seem to have it down, why not me? I know it's "just a decision you have to make" but why do they make it look so easy?
Blah Blah Blah, right? Poor me... HA. There is my vent. I am going to get my ACE back in gear. I can promise you all that right now. I owe it to myself. I have taken on so many things that take up my time: girls camp director, activities committee, work, real estate school, and somehow I am going to MAKE time for working out and eating healthy when I usually need to make a quick decision of what to eat. (I have HUGE amounts of respet for all of you moms out there, HOW do you do this with kiddos????)
I'm going to start over again, seems like I do every 3 or 4 months.. so back to Zumba for me. (I got sick of it 2 times a week, it wasn't as exciting for me and that ended up in me not working out at all... not an option). So going is better than nothing at all!
Wish me luck. Here we go AGAIN.
ps. if you're reading this, please comment! Even if it's annonymous. Tell me what your struggle is with being healthy or getting healthy?
Peace!

I totally feel your pain! Its hard really hard. I get tired of trying to think of new things to eat blah...cupcake sounds yummy ;) just kidding. Good luck! I think your beautiful the way you are.
ReplyDeleteIve gotten to the point where ive lost 15 lbs and im thinking, 'oh, five pounds, no biggie. I can eat some cake, nutella, or ice cream today!' But really, that five lbs wont ever go away unless I just go back to being more strict, but its so hard when nothing sounds good or the baby wont let me put her down so I can cook. Losing weight isnt easy, but at least you caught yourself getting off the healthy bandwagon early! You can do it leslee!
ReplyDeleteLeslee!! I struggle with the same thing!! I have the hardest time staying on track. I have learned with myself that I need to do things that involve my lifestyle. For example, I go outside and play tag with the kids or play frisbee with them. As long as I am moving and getting my heart rate up I don't worry about the amount of calories I am doing. Also taking Mazzy for walks. It is enjoyable and a stress reliever all at the same time. I don't know, these are some of the things that help me...I am struggling with the same problem as you. When you find the magic answer please let me know! LOL! I love you and I love this blog! Keep it up! You are helping more people than you know :)
ReplyDeleteLeslee!!! If this makes you feel better, I haven't done anything for three days and I am sooo tired! I don't feel like doing anything this week. Sometimes, when you are stressed, your body is burned out and have no energy for working out. It is ok to miss some work outs. I do that sometimes too. I feel same way about some work outs gets too bored for me. I always like something new every week. It is hard to be motivated!! If you want exercising partner, it will be a HUGE help!! Some days, I don't feel like going to the gym, my partner texts and said lets go! It makes me to go! Find someone to be your partner and work together. So when she don't feel like to, but you make her to go and when you don't feel like to, but she make you to go. That works! :) I wanted to tell you last night that you look so great!!! You looked like you have lost some weights! You have been amazing!! ILY!
ReplyDeleteI am not very good at eating healthy so I have no advice in this area. I eat crap all the time and most of the time I don't even feel bad about it. I probably would if I didn't have baby stuff occupying my mind:) I really want you to come back to Zumba because I have missed you so much and it's getting warmer outside so we should go running or walking. Don't be so hard on your self because you have so much going on right now and we can't be on track all of the time. The important thing is that you do get out and exercise when you can.
ReplyDeleteYes we love seeing you at Zumba. Just make a committment to come only once a week. Then you won't feel overwhelmed. I'll just pull up in front of your house and honk until you come out! :)
