No WI this week.
I am struggling, no lie. It's been hard for me to get into working out lately. I want all the carbs and all the sodium. We had pasta three nights this week. I know I gained and I just don't want to see it. This seems consistent with how I've felt the last couple weeks. September has kind of been a bust so far.
So how to turn it around? I have workouts scheduled for the next week. Today I will be meal planning - like FOR REAL meal planning, so I don't just fly by the seat of my spaghetti all week. Before I go to bed tonight, I will run at least 3 miles. I will drink my normal 100 oz of water.
I really have no excuse not to do these things. God, I am tired of making excuses. I just hate feeling so off and blase about the whole thing.
What do you do to shake off a slump?
I have been in a major slump this past month trying to get myself back on track health wise. So today I decided, even if I do one pushup its better than no pushups. So I making my goals small and building from there.
ReplyDeleteWhat's worked for me? Lowering my carb intake to 150g a day. Eating more vegetables, protein and fiber. I also stopped eating so much bread, crackers, chips etc. If you are going to eat carbs try finding the kind that breaks down slowly like, brown rice, red potatoes, beans, broccoli, etc. I've just basically tried to stabilize my blood sugar levels. When you eat massive amounts of refined carbs you spike your blood sugar. I'm losing slower, but I'm eating a good amount of food and calories and I don't feel deprived at all.
ReplyDeleteI hear you, Sister. This shiz is hard. I have to think about the reasons why I'm doing this: my future, my health, happiness, etc. I'm trying to maintain focus.
ReplyDeleteI don't know. I'm struggling too, so hopefully someone will have a helpful suggestion. I've been essentially the same weight (+/- 2#'s) for 6 months!! My body wants to be in maintenance and that's probably because I've gotten a little lax and slumping. I'm trying to get back to being serious and seeing if my body will respond again. I wonder if it will.
