Thanksgiving was great! Great food, great family, great
friends! Loved every second of it! That being said, everything on my diet/workout
plan came to a full-stop (almost!).
Spending time relaxing with the husband and our families was just so enjoyable!
I definitely drank too much wine (YUM!) on more than a few days over the past
week! I also pigged out on Thanksgiving
food. (seriously, who didn’t?)
Finding the motivation to start again on my epic journey of
awesomeness has been quite the struggle!
I just didn’t feel happy/excited to continue on it. (and the thought of
not eating all that buttery deliciousness was so depressing!) However, I knew I
had to put
on my hard hat and get to work. So how did I find that elusive motivation?
First things first – I ate a few healthy meals while still
enjoying a little bit of Thanksgiving leftovers
Then-I got back to my exercise plan (ran Sunday, spinning on
Monday, kettlebells AND spinning on Tuesday)
AND I STILL DIDN’T FEEL MOTIVATED…WHAT?! GRRR!
This is going to sound completely absurd, but what finally
did the trick was reading other people’s success stories on websites like
nerdfitness.com. Seeing how other people succeeded made me want to recommit and
be fully awesome! (I guess that’s not too absurd, huh?) it’s amazing how just reading about others
achievements can completely flip your switch!
What motivates you to keep going when all motivation seems
lost?
PS. My measurements had not really changed when I weighed in
a week ago and I purposely didn’t measure over Thanksgiving. Weigh in day on
Friday! We will see how this goes…
