Uninspired

Uninspired. That pretty much sums up how I have been feeling lately. I was talking to a co-worker at Weight Watchers. We were talking about how there are season to our Weight Watcher journey. Right now I am just not inspired. Kind of road weary I guess would be another way to say it. I think life has been so crazy that my eating/cooking/creating/exercise was just another thing on the to-do list.
Have I thrown in the towel? No way. I just haven’t been making anything new lately. Haven’t found any great products lately.
We are actually leaving (hopefully) in a few hours to go to some friends’ house for a few days. The girls are beyond excited. It will be good to get away to rest and relax. Chris especially needs this time away if he can get away from the office.
So I am still around. Still plugging along. Hopefully when we get home, I will be inspired again to start creating. Just haven’t had any exciting thoughts lately. Ha! I also am working on a guest blogger. It is a good friend of mine that has a great sense of humor about her weight loss journey. So be on the lookout for that in the coming days or weeks.
Hope you have a great weekend.

I think the further you come in your journey, the harder it is to STAY inspired. Either things look so far off, you can’t ever imagine “getting there” or you’re still in the losing phase of things and can stay motivated. Personally, I just got to my goal weight (50 pounds!) and I know I’m struggling with things right now…I’ve been doing WW for almost a year, and it’s been slow and steady. But to have been at goal and be on the program for as long as you’ve been on it is AWESOME, but it also starts making you wonder how you’re going to “keep it fresh”. I know I’ll be there soon, but we can all keep each other going!

Not only have I lost my inspiration–I’m having a hard time staying on track. I start the day out so good and at night, it all goes haywire!!! It’s like a contest to see how much I can eat!! I know what I’m doing is wrong but I can’t seem to control it. I am so frustrated at myself right now. I’m rapiding regaining what I struggled to lose!!! Everyday, I start over and I guess that’s the good part. At least I do start over. I’m hoping it will click again. I swore last summer I’d have at least 50 lbs off and here it is the end of March and I’ve only lost 13 lbs. I’m more aggravated at myself than anything.
Stick with it Kristen and Cindy, too. You are both inspiration to me!!!
Have a good weekend and enjoy your visit, Kristen.

Kristen, I have been doing this for about five years. I have made lifetime twice, with a total weight loss of about 40 lbs. I have for the most part been able to maintain that, although I do have about a five lb range I flucuate in, and am definately about 10-15 lbs heavier than I hoped to be, so I keep truckin’. I find I go through seasons too, and sometimes I just don’t feel disgusted enough with myself to try as hard as I used to, because I definately look and feel waaaaay better than before. I know exactly what you mean. It’s hard to always feel on fire. I am NEVER going back though, and even when in a funk, never go haywire. Just wanted to say I love your site and am genuinely glad that you keep it “real”. No one is inspired 24/7. I love reading when you do post. Keep up the good work!!

it will pass and the most important thing when it happens to me is keeping on!
perhaps not loving it as much
perhaps without the SPARK I LOVE
but not stopping completely. Ive stopped and getting back going? WASNT PRETTY

It must be the weather or the moon. I have resulted to my old habit of night eating. I’m eating more after the moon comes up than I do all do. Any suggestions from anyone on getting back on track. thanks
