I have to say that I'm overcome with the blahs about this whole process. I thought it was the winter, then I thought it was resting on my laurals, I thought so many things...

What it's coming down to is that this is a change that is LIFE long. And lives have cycles. I just hope my "kick my own butt into high gear" cycle starts again soon.

Newbies, I'd never imagine me writing like this a year ago. But the fact of the matter is, though I'm not gaining, and I'm losing ever so slowly, (3 pounds a month, maybe) I've lost my mojo.

And if I want to make excuses, I started grad school in January and it's hard...I dunno, if you have some kind words to motivate me share...

I work out regularly, not every day, but most days. I eat food in the appropriate order, Protein, veg and carb most times but there are heavier carb days. There are also high sugar days.

I want this to feel like it did when it was new. Don't people say that about romance too???

One thing that has not been mentioned that has helped me through a couple of slowed down times, is to find a new bandster, and mentor them. The excitement is contagious, and it makes you remember all the highs and lows.

I started with my Violets group, and now have a girl locally who was just banded. It keeps me on track, feeling like I need to at least show them what can be done.

I do understand where you are at....I attritbuted mine to winter too....that I am confident will someday go away!!! Spring keeps teasing us then hiding out again.....
