Every couple of weeks....

I start to enter a fog. I don't want to keep working out, I just want to curl up and eat cookies. I'm sick of the whole thing, counting, working out, and such. I become drained and restless and bored. I start to tell myself that a few days of eating crap and avoiding the gym won't hurt, that no one but me even notices the change in my body if I'm working out so why bother....all kinds of excuses.

In the past this has always been the precise moment when I fall off the fitness wagon and gain back what I've lost. I also lose sight of the mental benefits of working out, and then I lose that blissed-out, energized feeling over time.

Well, Thank god for MFP, because for the first time I was able to push through this foggy feeling a few weeks ago, and I rebounded stronger than ever.

So here I am, in another emotional plateau. Had a burger last night and now pizza for lunch is calling my name. But I refuse. I am determined to push through it. All of those painful yoga poses and mixed green salads and I'm going to THROW IN THE TOWEL NOW??

I'm mostly putting this here for myself, so I will have to rise to the challenge of making it through this. But I also thought it might help give others who are experiencing similar feeling a boost. Just logging in to MFP is enough sometimes, if you're here but feeling blah, I have your back.

Let's push through together and kick some a**.
