Motivation
I struggle with exercise. Any ideas how I can motivate myself? I do not enjoy exercise. I am lucky when working to complete 10,000 steps a day Monday-Friday so never felt the need. I have gained 7lbs during Lockdown and part of it will be moving less. 😱😱😱

Usually for frozen vegetables I just put down whatever the package said the serving size as I'm usually eating the whole bag and its not a high calorie count anyway. This has worked fine for me up till now, and since I still have a lot to lose, will probably be fine for a while yet, but I also am aware that as I get down…

But now it's 6 or 7 weeks later and you are getting frustrated, maybe discouraged, because your weight loss has slowed down. It stinks, right? Who wants to restrict their…
