I have had alot of stress and lack of motivation over the last week.  I need to know what you all do when this happens to you...I'm not able to get past some of these things and I need to start to kick my on butt...and get that scale to moving again. 
When I get upset about personal stuff, I tend to just want to curl up and sleep..I have been sleeping alot and I'm still tired all day. 
I will be having labs done next week, so I will at least see if any of that is off...

What keeps all of you  going....????

I was feeling kind of bleh earlier but then I watched The Biggest Loser. I thought if I could put just an ounce of dedication that these guys do.
Grant it, they are exercising hours and hours several days but still, it takes alot of oomph to do that.

I felt motivated after I watched tonight.

Make yourself exercise at least once.  When I exercise I feel purposeful, powerful and like I'm changing my life.  I didn't realize how much of an impact regular exercise could make in my life until I became a consistent exerciser.

My sleeve is the tool that controls my eating, but exercise is truly what is changing my lifestyle.

Plus, if I put forth the effort to exercise, I'm highly unlikely to negate that effort by not eating right.

Also, exercise releases endorphins and provides a healthy release of stress.

Convinced yet? 

As a bonus, combine exercise with something fun like taking your dog to the park and chasing him around -- that always cheers me up and makes me feel good about exercising.

Check your hydration- dehydration can make you feel like crap.  Exercise- it releases feel good hormones.  Look at before and after pics on the home page.  It sounds like there is a lot of personal stuff going on.  Maybe a liitle bit of therapy would help if the quick fixes don't.  You've done great so far, you know you can do this.  Hang in there- we have your back.
