Breakin’ free from the slump!
hate to admit it but darn it I’m in a slump! I haven’t felt very motivated the past 2 weeks and I feel like a big blob of lard or something. Then I received a message from a new friend that added me. Here’s what it said:
"hey great progress pics deanna!!! awesome hard work!! way to rock it! you are what bodyspace is about!!!"
How awesome is that! This is why I love this place. The people are great! And when you can’t find support anywhere else it’s here.
Know what I think my problem is? Stress and boredom. Boredom because I need to change my workout that I’ve had for 8 weeks and stress because I am going to be starting a new job. I’ve been a stay-at-home mommy for 2 1/2 years now. It bothers me to leave my babies. My 5 year old will be starting kindergarten but I worry about my 2 year old. Not only that but I will be working 45 hours a week! Yikes! When am I going to find time to work out? I have to sleep, ya know. I’m stressin’ bad. I have worked too hard for the past 6 months to give up. This will definitely be challenging but I’ll find a way. I want to show other mommies that it is possible and you should never give up on a dream. Chat atcha later….gotta go pump some iron!!!

My first thought anytime someone says they’re in a slump is a lack of variety. Sounds like you already figured that one out. Things will be stressful at first, but then you’ll figure out the routine and know what’s coming. You don’t have to worry and can instead be excited to the "you time" with the workouts to let loose!
