Well I'm completely off the rails as far as Body Beast goes. Life is busy and I just haven't been able to stay in my routine. The good news is that I have been running and doing a lot outdoors. Im not sure what my plan is from here. Im going to stay part of this group for sure. Not sure if I should start BB over? Maybe go back to H&C. Feeling a little lost and unmotivated but I do know I'm not going to do nothing. Im not gaining weight so thats good!

Monday: Run 3 miles
Tuesday: off
Wednesday: Run 3 miles/ Abs,buns, thighs
Thursday:?
Friday:?
Saturday:?
Sunday:?

At least your still moving and enjoying the outdoors. Its been beautiful where I am. I guess ask yourself if you enjoyed bb before deciding to start over or go to another program. I lose motivation more if i dont enjoy the exercise im doing. You gotta do what will fit best with you.

Jamie - Just do what you really feel is right for you. That can change day to day, week to week. Life really can get busy, but it’s okay, you do what you can even if it is just taking a deep breath. The running is great, and being outdoors is even better!

Krystina - The race is June 3rd, so one month from today! My back pain comes and goes, and it has an impact on pace. I am working on it, but it may not be fully resolved by race time. Whatever, I am able to run, so will be there on June 3rd regardless!

I am done for the week and will be cheering all of you on for the remainder. This weekend, will be celebrating my son’s first communion and my mother’s 80th birthday. There will be lots of food, champagne & cake (two of them) and will enjoy all of it! Hope that all of you have a great weekend!

Ok i had a good weigh in on thursday then proceeded to eat lots of pasta and chips and queso that my hubby keeps bringing home. Grr i gained 2 lbs back in the last 2 days. Back to work tonight with my meals all prepped and then tommorrow night i cant eat after midnight for labs so that will help. My dinner time is 2-4 am so ill be hungry and tired since no coffee either. Ok my rant is over;)

Thank you all;)
@KristinaMTL its a new week;) i was with you in the eating junkfood. It was so yummy but its time to put that behind us. Having the sun out is a nice motivator. Ive been outside a lot lately;) even the hoards of black flies aren't keeping me away.

I really haven't been feeling it this week but I'm pushing thru and pressing play.

@KrystinaMTL

You know what I will say to you because I have already but once again, Dont be so hard on yourself. You will get back there. Nothing has changed. You are still committed to your goals and this was just a small speed bump in the big scheme of things. Sometimes we need that reset to shake us up and help us move ahead. You have made some real progress in recent months and you know it. Don’t let this last week make you forget that. Let me remind you...YOU ARE A ROCKSTAR!! YOU ARE FREAKING AWESOME! AMAZING! INSPIRING!!

I honestly couldn’t keep this up without you.

We are all here for you and if ever you need reminding of how great you are and how far you have come, we will happily tell you.

Hi everyone,

Will record my exercise in a post later today. Just wanted to address everyone re the motivation issues many of us have been experiencing.

Thanks Bianca for your tremendous honesty, postitivy and support, it really helps all of us! Krystina, you are never a Debbie Downer and you never have to be embarrassed about anything! So you ate some junk food (I would live on it if I could)! You already are a great success!! You too Jamie and Jenny!!

None of us seem to be feeling it right now, and I am seeing it all over the MFP community. We all have different reasons. We are very far away from January, and the postivie energy of the new year. Maybe we feel we are not where we thought we would be. Maybe we are downright tired and stressed as life happens in spite of our plans. Maybe health issues are getting in the way. Maybe we are bored with what we are doing and need a change, but can’t figure it out. The warm weather is here and that is great, but we are moving into a more bodycon time where we cannot hide behind sweaters, coats etc. Maybe we feel like we are trying and trying and it just is going nowhere. It just seems so effortless for some people to be at their ideal weight, to be skinny. Why do others have to work so hard? It can be hard not to feel resentful.

As a fluctuator, this is a dangerous time for me. I am almost halfway to goal and in my past two attempts, this is where I give up. But, this is the time to dig deep and remind myself that it is a mental game, just as much as it is calorie counting and exercise. I need to look at why I give up. A big part for me is feeling like I just will never be successful so why bother. Another big part is feeling resentful that I have to make this effort at all. But if I go deeper, these reasons just do not hold water. I know that I can be successful because I already lost 18 lbs. And so what if I have to work hard to lose weight?! I have worked hard for many things, most of the best things in my life. If I am really honest, the good far outweighs the bad, so why waste time being resentful?

The mental stuff is hard, but it is ok to take a pause to regather our thoughts, and reset if we need to. It is ok to fall because each of us can (and will) get back up again. That is what being fierce is all about!

One more thing, I give myself permission to make myself a priority and to welcome and enjoy great things into my life! I deserve it, & we all deserve it!!

A big hug to everyone!!
