Getting past the blahs

Posted on January 4, 2015

So I have been doing great all week long, since I started my lifestyle change, but today I feel draggy and just blah. In my mind I want to work out but in my body and soul I just can't seem to get the gumption to do it. I don't want to fail this time so I have to push past this feeling and get the work out in anyways.

I wish I had more support around me, I do feel like I am doing this alone, even though I have all these people in this challenge and a good friend who lives so far away. I really wish there was someone in my household that would also get me going. I have to be that person for myself, but gosh it is hard.

I will fight past this and succeed. Even though my feet and legs say stay still I am going to get up and move. It might be in just short spurts but at least I am doing it.

Okay enough crying to myself. Got to get moving.

Hi Marsha, Please friend request me on Facebook at OllieLovesCarolynMabe my husband says he will do it with me but he doesn't need to loose to much weight and I do. We can support each other and you can message me anytime. I have been sedentary almost 7 years now. So I'm taking one day , one meal , and one step at a time. Anything is an improvement for me and MARSHA - YOU CAN DOTHIS !!! I'LL BE PRAYING FOR YOU !!! Carolyn

I feel same way sometimes, that I am my only cheerleader! Lot of times that is why I fail. A friend of mine mentioned the book Chose More, Lose More. I read it and the first 4 chapters is about support and what I got out of it is a way to be my own cheer leader even better than I ever was. I have put this cardboard together with some of the positive quotes on stickies all over it. I plan on decorating it and laminating it somehow one day. So it's like an art project of my own.. All they suggested is to write down things in the book. I took it the step forward of the poster board, however they do suggest putting it on your bathroom mirror. I didn't want it there but I wanted a way to see it all the time.. They have my daily goals each written on their own sticky and organized neatly on the board. gives me something to do when I am feeling down or like cheating... Good luck you can do it!! I always believe that you are your best cheerleader no matter. Don't quit on yourself <3
