here again
So here I am again mad at myself for saying I need to get in shape. Why can’t I just do it and get it over with I know you always have to work at being in shape and it is a progress, but I feel like it is not moving fast enough I can never get pass that 3 week. I dont see what I want to see in that 3rd week and give up everything I worked for, I feel like I am going up a hill and as soon as I get to the half way point I slide all the way back down. I keep saying next monday I will eat right, next monday I will run more next next next but I never get pass that point. If there are any suggestions… I feel really bad that I am in this posititon again.. and continue to be in this position.

When I began my journey in January it took about 4 weeks for me to even see or feel a change in the way my clothes fit. The scale didn’t budge either. Then, all of a sudden the changes were very rapid. If you stick it out a few more weeks, I promise you will see results. Then you can focus on making it a lifestyle. have some faith in yourself and don’t give up!

Ditto what KC said. Just set small goals, daily or hourly if you have to, then weekly and monthly. I suggest logging your workouts, whether it be running or lifting and try to improve each and every workout, even if its just a small amount. That way you know you’ll be making progress each time. Hang in there, you can do it.

Well, as the saying goes, it ain’t easy", especially in the beginning. Don’t be too hard on yourself…just pick it up again. Sometimes it helps to think of your workout like a job. In other words, if you aren’t too sick, tired, busy)etc. to show up at work…you aren’t too sick, tired, busy to show up at the gym! It kind of erases all the surface excuses right away. If you think about it, it is kind of a job but you get to be your own boss and YOU get ALL of the benefits. Besides, after you see results, your motivation will pick up. YOU CAN DO IT. I absolutly, positively know you can! The best of luck to you!
