Motivation…or lack of….
I don’t know what my deal is lately, I mean I do, but I don’t understand why I am in such a slump. I mean a major slump, like old Ashley is back and the new Ashley can’t be found anywhere…I think it all started when my trainer that I admired and was finally starting to feel progress with decides to not train me anymore, never called me back to reschedule an apointment…that really frustrated me, it was like he lost hope so why should I still have hope that I can do it. I have started with a new trainer and he is really good, and I really like him, but I have no motivation to workout on my own, or eat right…I know the eating is an emotional, I feel hopeless crap that I pull and I just need to snap out of it, but I can’t. Like today, I’m dreading the gym, I need to go, I know I love how it makes me feel, I love loosing weight and how I look, I just can’t seem to want to want it bad enough, I have so much to be motivated for, I just don’t get it. I really don’t understand it anymore. Plus Im dating a guy totally in shape and loves fitness and still nothing. I guess I just need to start forcing myself to go no matter what, and the new Ashley will come back…I also need to become a morning person so i can speed this crap up and get two workouts in. I’m tired of being fat.

I hope you’re able to break out of your rut. You don’t want all of your progress to be for nothing.

i know exactly how you feel, i go through the same thing about every 3 weeks and it gets frustrating. i also was dating a guy really into fitness and shit then i actually got down to 175 then all of a sudden i totally gained all of it back plus more! and i also lost my boyfriend…. good thing we are still friends or i would be so lost right now with my workouts. i hope my experiences are enough motivation for you. remember everyone goes through ruts or whatever we just have to figure out how to get out of them and learn from them.

A trainer is a tool. A tool to help you get to where you want to be. You are still able to reach your goals. You know what to do to get it done.
As for doing two gym workouts a day. I tried it once. It was tiring. Then I found I made no more progress than if I did one really great workout.
I find the more upset I am at life I take it out on my diet. Looks like we have that in common. I just want to let you know I am rootin for you. You have my support.
