Where To Find Motivation?



Recommended Posts

I really need some motivation.... All I have are excuses of why I don't or can't go to the gym. I have a brand new workout facility at my work, and a $100+ membership to a super nice gym around my house.... WHY in the world can't I go?

I've been stuck at the same weight for the past 7 to 8 weeks.. What the heck is wrong with me?

It's called fear. Start with small goals. Go to the treadmill, set it on low speed and start walking. Take some Water with you and put one foot in front of the other. Set a goal to walk 1 mile, then 2 miles, etc. Set yourself a goal like doing a 5K 6 months from now. Not necessarily running it but completing it. Remember, it's a journey and the motivation comes from within. You will look and feel better about yourself.

I feel ya... The gym is kinda boring. Have you tried walking outside. I've personally started bike riding. Take advantage of the weather, also it helps if you plan it with someone. So plan a walk with a friend, spouse or sibling. This way it's not so easy to wiggle your way ou of.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
