Motivational failure

[lumineaux]

My weight loss project hasn't progressed much since Pennsic. I've had a complete failure of motivation on several levels of my life, and this is one of them. All my usual tricks to get back on the wagon haven't worked. Thoughts? Suggestions?

I can't tell
Right now I'm not very motivated, but then I consider the priority is fighting my cold :)
A thing that amuses me though is that I got a pedometer, and do statistics on how much I walk everyday
Yep, I'm a nerd, but we knew that already :D

i wish I had magical advice. I have been struggling fiercely with this myself.

All I can say is - I ONLY succeed when the motivation comes from within me.

Very likely the season/weather is having an effect on both of you. I don't know if I can recommend "The 80's Excess Diet" though.

Have you considered trying a *different* approach. Instead of using fencing for your primary exercise, try walking? (yeah, I know, great weather for it ... )

This would require me to be somewhere other than work during daylight hours. :-)

Not that I should comment...but...maybe it would help if everyone works together to support and motivate each other in some way???? Its often easier to do something if you know others are doing it too. (running away now...)

Actually for me - for some reason - I succeed when I'm single minded & alone.

dunno why.

I have to be totally and completely committed to myself and me alone.

Snort snicker

This from the woman who weighs as much as my left leg. :-) But I appreciate the helpful thoughts, even as I snark on you. :-)

I'd be disapointed if you didn't ;D Good luck!

I just got a really neat cross crunch... it's scary looking but it works. See: www.crosscrunch.com
