Trying To Get My Groove Back

I am having a hard time getting back into the swing of things after a rough week. I am up nearly 15 pounds and I feel pretty crappy, physically and emotionally. I'm not really sure what to do at this point. (Positive, though? I'm still here. Normally I'd just withdraw and erase my profile.)

    We can do this. I am struggling too. I won't let you fall. Get off your butt and go to the gym. Put down the donut, or Easter candy, or ice cream. lol (This was me last night minus the donut. bahahahaha)

    Let's do this!

    Hehe. It's more like, "Put down the wine and cheesecake." (Which is weird, because I so rarely drink.) But I'm off my butt! (Well, I was. Elliptical and a day full of apartment cleaning before out-of-town visitors arrive for the win?)

    Dont give up. Weight can fluctuate because of water, sodium, hormones, etc. The next few days eat low sodium and healthy....and exercise. I bet it comes off fast. Plus....high five for not giving up. You got this, just get your mind back in the game. Just think how great its going to be when you reach your goal..... and you will reach it!

    That "weight" should go away as quickly as came. A couple days of fluid shifting will resolve it I think. When you see your numbers recover you will feel better and get your mojo back. I strongly recommend that you try to work up a sweat every day and then push the envelope a bit each week. Soon you will be surprising yourself with your new found athletic prowess. All that time sweating is time away from where the goodies are kept as well.
