lilfurson's Journal, 18 October 2011

I just wanted to say that for some reason this time of the year seems to bring up a bit of de-motivation. It's probably things like the days getting shorter and the temperatures dropping. I myself have felt lazy and have been overeating. I started up Insanity, the full program, 3 days ago.

I just wanted to give everyone some motivation if things have been going in the wrong direction. If you've fell off a bit from how well you were doing, jump on the scale, take the hit to the ego if the weight went up and just move on. It's better to realize that we all need a break and then start back up as soon as possible rather than just giving up and gaining it all back.

I've definitely lacked major motivation the past few weeks and the weight has slowly been creeping back up. I was determined to not let that happen and decided to take a break from P90X and just focus on Insanity. That should take me through the end of the year and then I can start P90X again.

My lesson learned so far is that working out before heading into work is a major plus. I feel energized and can focus much earlier in the day than I would normally. Sure it's a pain to get up early and get the motivation to work out but the rewards are worth it.

Keep it up everyone!

I 2nd all your advice Lilfurson! We all have days when we lose focus. The best way to handle it is to shake it off and keep it moving in the right direction. I also love the feeling I get when I do my workouts in the morning. It may not be feasible everday but it sure is worth it to get up early and get that part of the day over with.

You are not the only one who has felt a bit lazy lately. This time of year always makes me want to cuddle up with a blanket and watch movies. Way to get moving and thanks for your words of encouragement. I have been forcing myself to go to the gym every morning and I just feel better about myself and my day after I've gotten a good workout in. Keep up the good work.
