Motivation.  How can a person want something so much but just lack the motivation?  I want to lose this weight so badly.  Yet when it comes down to actually getting off my butt, I lack motivation.  Back up...yet when it comes to making healthier choices I lack motivation.  Oh heck, my motivation is simply in the toilet.  Yet I want to lose soooo darn badly.  It just makes no sense.
I went back to weight watcher meetings 4 weeks ago.  Week one, I gained four-tenths of a pound.  Week two, I gained 8 tenths of a pound.  Week three I blew it all away and gained two pounds and two ounces!  I'm paying stinkin' money to GAIN WEIGHT!    Now...the first two weeks I was religious with my eating.  I ate healthy.  I restarted the exercise regime...and I went to a meeting and showed a gain....both weeks.   Week three...well.....lets just say that I didn't go hog wild, but I didn't even track!  It was a super stressful week!   This week I'm doing a bit better.  I'm not strictly regimented, but I am very cognizant of what I'm eating...and YES, I am tracking!
I have less than one month before Girls With Gears...in which I am registered to ride.  I've been on my bike 2 times this year.  The first time was hideously horrid. Notice it was hideously horrid...not just hideous and not just horrid!  My second ride was much better...but I was on the canal and that is relatively flat....so it was an easier ride!
Stress levels are still super high.   Something that a friend wrote today just hit me...and here it is:  I think we all have issues we wrestle with.  It's just whether or not we let those issues impact our diet and exercise.
