THAT OLD CYCLE!!
Motivation seems to have flown out the window this week. Hopefully it will fly back in soon. I am not sure why it has disappeared. Possibly PMT as I have noticed this year that with the onset of menopause I seem to feel quite down every 4-6 weeks. I think a big part of it is that I am simply very tired. I have been exercising like a mad woman, work has been very stressful with this major project, with DH away every week I have an extra load to carry at work, problems with mum, kids growing up, trying to keep on top of housework while working long hours...nothing really critical or abnormal...just culminating in me being apathetic. I have been good with tracking for most of the week with just a few treats I should not have had. Haven't exercised for 2 days which makes me feel "blah" Anyway this has happened before and will happen again and if I just hang in there I will bounce back. I need to remember the positives. I have lost 20k. I have bought smaller clothes, I am healthier, I usually enjoy my exercise, and I have made new friends. ALL pluses!!
On the good side I wore a shirt today I haven't worn before. I bought it 6 months ago at a sale and it was too small. I put it on and Ebs said "you look nice." I replied that it was too small. Her answer was "no mum you are just used to wearing big things. It is fitted and looks nice." Then I felt cranky because the pants I was wearing were too tight. I thought Oh no see what 2 days no exercise does? Then I remembered. I had to look in a mirror for the evidence but I had taken them in with two darts from the waist down the bum area!! Thank goodness.
Today is my Dh birthday. He is interstate but will be home tonight for a family dinner. He wants takeaway and not any healthy kind but fish and chips. He will be too tired to go out and we are going to a restaurant tomorrow night with friends for the 2 boys shared birthdays. My sister is coming over to join us and she is on WW too so I guess the two of us will be sharing steamed dim sims while the rest eat the disgusting fatty fish and chips!! I have scrubbed my house from top to bottom (well actually missed quite a few places in the middle) so it will look presentable tonight. Maybe why I am so tired...shouldn't wash floors at 3am I guess.
Anyway I weigh in in the morning so will report back here on how I went an dwhetehr I resisted the temptation of dinner tonight. Hopefully I will also find some time to do some exercise and that might help me to feel I deserve to lose weight.
