On the back of my motivation blog..the man cold kept me on the couch, unmotivated.
I won't go on about how much worse it must be than child birth, but we men suffer...it's our thing.
Not one visit to the gym at all last week, and the scales told me so.
The diet was fairly on track, but fruit and yoghurt for dinner, mixed with a few too many carbs late in the day certainly didn't do me any favours.
So what to do when your not feeling a hundy ? tough it out ? Harden up ?
The message seems to be plenty of fluid, lots of rest and eat right !
(how good does choc bikkies and chips sound when lying on the couch)
Some things I have read say to continue with the exercise, sweat it out, but I guess the most important bit is to listen to your body.
So that was last week, put aside, chalked up to experience.
This week sees us back in the sweat invasive class, (that sweat gets everwhere!) Brian had us huffing and puffing, and after a week off it felt great to be back.
Also nice to see 3 new faces with us, this is a fun varied class 3 times a week. Doing a class is highly recommended, it's motivating, supportive and fun!
I'm still getting the courage up to do Zumba.
This weeks goals are no carbs after lunch and no sugar. My love affair with toast has to come to an end...a sad sad truth.
Sugar shouldn't too hard, but like the sweat..that stuff is in EVERYTHING !
I'm looking forward to BIA on Saturday..a good shift will see me back on track.
mmmm toast, with sugar on top.

I think you have nicely captured the ups and downs of maintaining motivation - I know I have certainly struggled over the years!! You are doing great though, and reading your blog is helping to keep me motivated :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the BIA on Saturday - you deserve to do well!

If the toast smiles at you, surely it should be eaten? I would hate to think that it would make a noise while going down my gullet, however. You have got to plan ahead young man! Wear a top with pockets with proper (and accepted) snacks that you can access through the day...if you aren't at your desk all day. You should start a petition with your clients to only gift foods off of your food list.

Keep it up, your doing really really well. Good scooby snax are important! have some in the car, couch, shower, toilet, garage, hallway,office, gym bag, computer bag.....you name it keep those evil bikkies and chippies away. They might look kind and cuddly but its just a trap to lure you in. They are everywhere......be careful. :)
