in Motivation and Support
I am falling off of the wagon. I usually do cardio and lift weights after. I haven't lifted weights since last Thursday and then I could do 15 lb dumb bells. Today when I tried I couldn't do 15 and went back to 10 :( . I also get so tired after cardio that I don't do as well when I lift my weights. I'm thinking of doing cardio afterwards or something. I'm also tired of all the guys giving me stupid looks when I'm doing weights :(

I'm starting to lose the motivation I once had

    i'd try doing weights first then cardio or even just focusing on weights. Your body may not have the energy to do both and its killing your motivation

    I am with you on the motivation loss, I was doing really well into my final 10 to lose, then a few things happened in life I got upset stopped going to the gym and ate and drank what I wanted when I wanted, well just two weeks later I still feel like crap because of said upsets, but stood on the scale to add insult I have put on 9 pounds so now I am just deflated, but went back to the gym monday to get going again and WOW how weak am I after just two weeks I was bench pressing 30kgs can hardly do 20kgs could squat 40kgs could only do 10 at 20kgs and 10 press ups felt agony, I would like to know why I have I gone so backwards after only a 2 week ooopppss. It is very deflating when I felt so strong before.

    OP are you getting enough food and enough sleep? Your body needs sufficient energy to be able to do these things. It's basic stuff, but important :smile:
