Need Motivation To Start Working Out



Recommended Posts

Hello Fitness Gurus,

I need your help!

I have not been on my ellipitical in 1.5 weeks and I am lacking

motivation.

In addition to that, I have had a 2 week stall.

For the last 3 weeks, I did some aggressive weight training

and then had the stall.

I feel like I went all crazy with the weight training and then I got burned out.

In the back of my head, I am thinking that if I don't work out,

I will gain the weight back.

I am terrified.

Help!!

you already lost 51lbs. So just find your picture before surgery and put it in the place where you will see most of the day. and believe me it is motivated. you don't want to be like that again.

Forgive me if this comes across blunt, I truly don't mean for it to .....don't over think it. Get up, lace up your sneakers and MOVE IT!!! I know for me, the second I start thinking about working out, I start thinking about how I need to fold laundry and I only have 20 minutes before my daughter needs to be picked up, it's too hot or it's too cold....any amount of time, any amount of activity is better than sitting on your bum and thinking about it! ;-) Get up and go girl ~ YOU are worth it!!

Thank you all!

I listened to your suggestions.

Yesterday I put my exercise gear and did the ellipitical for 25 minutes.

I just did it! No excuses!

Thank you all again!

I really appreciate it!

Sometimes the hardest thing is to take or re-take that first step. Now that you have started back up I am sure you will continue doing it. I love this site too. Good luck.

Congrats! It gets easier every day.

Now for me it's second nature. My gym clothes are the first thing I put on in the morning.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
