I’ve lost my motivation, have you seen it? If you see it, please kick it’s butt ALL the way back to my house please. I am in desperate need of it, cause I haven’t ran on my own (apart from last night) in 2 1/2 weeks, and going to the gym has gone from 5 days to only 2 days in the past 2 weeks.

this is basically how I feel right now

At the wedding CA and I attended, I felt blah, I felt HUGE compared to the other girls there. I wanted to be at a certain point with my weight loss, and I wasn’t even close to being there. I “felt” pretty when I put on makeup that took me an hour to perfect. Of course CA thought I was beautiful, and said so to me several times, and even on our way home said how gorgeous I looked that night. Sunday night we were relaxing and he told me that he was going to really start pushing me to go work out. Not because HE wants me to lose weight but he knows that I WANT to lose weight for ME. It’s what I need, the swift kick in the toosh to get moving. Thankfully he is NEVER EVER mean about it, cause he does love me for who I am not what I look like (also my cooking abilities and I give killer massages, also I am his permanent DD), ANYWAYS, that’s why I love him more and more each day just because there’s NO pressure only from myself to get moving.

uhm, ya this was definitely how I was feeling at the wedding

Monday night, after work, I was going to go for a run, I recieved some packages in the mail and just wanted to play with them and not go running. I was texting CA and he gave motivation reasons, but I wasn’t having it, but I cleaned up, and got dressed. I couldn’t NOT go running. So I went running, I didn’t stretch, so shin splints started after 3 mins, my legs killed after 10, and I only went out for a mile. On the cool down from that mile, I realized that yes not running for 2 1/2 weeks definitely hurt me. But I found a little bit of my motivation, I can’t wait for the gym tomorrow morning at 5am, and than the runstart program at 6:30 with three of the best ladies ever.

just because on some days, I don’t want to run

I am hoping my motivation mojo makes a full apperance soon, but I realized that no one, not even CA could give me my motivation back. I had to do it, I had to put on my big girl panties and get it done. I miss going to the gym, having new PRs each week for weight lifting, I semi miss running, it was more of the feeling of getting 10 seconds faster every 2 weeks. I think I’ll be ok, I realized I lost my motivation mojo or MM for short, and that I was the only one who could get it back.

this was me when I realized I lost my MM.

I am hoping to report back to y’all next week and be able to tell you how this week went. We definitely shall see what happens.

I am in the same position right now. I am kicking myself because I know where I was before and I am so far from that right now. You would think that a wedding in less than a year would be enough, but I haven't kicked it into high gear yet. However, I was feeling pangs of motivation the other day – so I think I am getting there! Good luck 🙂

I think getting that initial kick to get back on track is the hardest. Once you're there, you're there and you're good. You think to yourself, "OMG, why did it take so long!?"
