Advice please

I go through times like this as well. When I feel that I am eating out of boredom I think about how far I've come and how I don't want to go back where I started. I also try to get outside and moving. I have a 2 year old, so she is always willing to go outside and play. Good luck!! I hope you get your motivation back!!

Get outside and get some fresh air. It will improve your mood, give you some Vit. D and reenergize you. It works for me, especially after being stuck inside due to the large amount of bad weather we've had lately.

I am also a mother of 5... my oldest being 7. I completely understand your frustrations, I get like that to. In the past I'd do good exercising and before a month was over I'd stop... and gain that weight back plus some. Now when I take a day off of exercise it's hard to go back, but I don't go over 2 days without exercise. Like all last week, we were soo busy, it was a lot of eating out hardly any exercise and this week trying to get back to eating better... I just feel hungry and want to eat everything, because that's what my body was used to the week before. I didn't even exercise yesterday, cuz I didn't want to... and that's not good. I just have to keep my goals in sight and in my mind. Usually I workout 2-3 times a day, so I don't get bored, and I don't stop and eat all day long... I don't have much advise for you wished I did... I'm struggling with all this at the same time! Just be positive, and keep moving toward your goal Should friend me, sounds like we've got a lot in common!

Set some short term, mid term, and long term goals. Write them on paper as this helps keep you more accountable. Switch up what you are doing. Meaning, change your work out routine. Find new recipes that keep you feeling full throughout the day. I eat 5 small meals a day with each meal consisting of complex carbs, protein, and fat.
Try lifting weights if you don't already. Cardio alone won't burn fat, you need to lift weights. Lean muscle mass, burns fat.
Write some positive verses/quotes/goals on sticky notes and leave them around the house.

there comes a point during your workout routine where your body sort of plateaus and you find that you’re not losing anything, maybe even gaining! and you start to lose interest, resulting in going back to bad habits and inevitably gaining back the weight. When I get to this point I start finding new workouts online or trying new group classes at my local gym. You can also kick up your workouts by adding more reps to your weight training, or pushing harder on the treadmill. Sign up for a race this Spring and start training for it!

As far as eating, my advice would be to hit up your local grocery store and fill your basket with grapes, carrots, snow peas, apples, bananas, blueberries, raspberries, so on and so forth. when you’re hungry, eat them! it's okay to chow down all day long if you’re eating the right stuff!
