I never thought this was going to be easy by any stretch of the imagination but the last 4 or 5 days have been so much of a struggle for me.
I had so many plans for myself because i had 2 weeks off work, i was going to do something every single morning when i woke up which did start off well but then slowly i slopped off towards the weekend, but at the same time as me stopping my 6 month old son has started teething once again (2nd set seems to be worse than the first lot that came through!!!!) but i am not sleeping more than 3 or 4 hours a night and not all in one go either after his constant waking up through the night, and then if itry to get a nap during the day he normally ends up screaming the house down! then there is the weather which doesnt make it any easier to drag myself outside to do something, normally i dont mind the weather so long as it is not windy (can't stand wind!!!) but i seemed to be using it as an excuse!!
Then there is the work that i have been doing on and around the house which i suppose is some form of exercise but it is not enough for what i need i feel, then to top all this off i have not been making the best food choices again i put this down to lack of energy to think about what am doing, but eating crap food doesn't give me energy either so thats a no brainer there!!!
How do you do it?? i know we all have lives and we just have to fit it in some how but i just can't seem to find the answers at the moment, and i got back to work next week and feel i have wasted 2 perfect weeks now because i was "tired" i mean don't get me wrong i got to spend some nice time with my family which is something i don't get to do a lot of all the time, but i also think i need to be selfish at the moment and take time for me, sort myself out get to where i want to be? i don't know if that is the right attitude?
does anyone else ever find themselves in this position? what do you do?
this is not a sob story honestly I just can;t think of the answers i need at the moment and hope that the nice people of MFP can guide me somewhere?

    Just change one thing at a time to get going and log it in. Start with breakfast and after a week or a few days, then add lunch to it. That's how I started. I feel off the wagon big time and plan on starting again, with a weigh in and recording. It takes time to get the calorie count down. Check with your doctor if you have medical problems that may get worse with a limited calorie intake.
    Your son will finish with his teething and it'll help you get back into sleeping at nights. :yawn:
    The hardest thing is to stop making excuses and get going. Even if it's 5 situps and 10 pushups, it's a start.

    Don't forget, YOU CAN DO IT!!!! :wink:
