Arrevanthas's Journal, 23 December 2014

Woke up with no motivation...no desire to get up and do anything. My friend gave me the kick up the ass needed to workout today but I don't feel like it's enough. Part of this is most likely stress of finances and holidays and part of me feeling pretty low about myself. I have been trying my best not to do the negative self talk but I have found that voice creeping up on me quite a bit so far. The last couple of nights, I forgot to set my UP to sleep mode so that didn't get recorded. Oh well.

Otherwise, I am somehow hanging in there. The sad thing about the loss of motivation is that it pertains to everything...eating included. Like...I will feel hungry so I get up to look for something...and then suddenly, like I just can't be bothered to make myself something to eat so I end up sitting back down. I keep trying to tell myself that this storm will pass...I can get through this and honestly, I think that is the only thing pulling me through at the moment. I don't include my girls in this because everything I do manage to do is for them along with myself.

I want to be a better role model...I want to be that happy, peppy, upbeat person I used to be. I want these things and when I think I have found it again, it shattered usually halfway through the day. A huge portion of this was caused by my ex (father of my youngest) and what he said about me and my oldest daughter. Being a single parent of two is hard...and I like to think I do the best damned job that I can but yet that is where he chose to attack me. Apparently I am so messed up that my oldest is following suit and turning out just like me. And you know...honestly...maybe I am and I just don't see it. Prior ex bfs have said something similar about me (not my oldest) so...I wonder...what is wrong with me?

I guess I should go and try to at least finish this day strong.

Daily Summary
*Focus T25: So I realized that I need to get better shoes to workout in. Like the Cardio, I need to be up on my toes part of the time so I need that cushioning. I don't have the money to get it of course which sucks. But oh well. At least Cardio allowed me to somewhat clear my head.

Plank: I don't think I passed this 60 second plank. I ended up putting my knees down for a brief couple of seconds when I hit the 30 second mark. I managed to push through the rest of the time though.

*Steps Taken (Goal-5000): TBA

*# Cups of Water (Goal-14 cups): TBA

*Record Everything you Eat: TBA

*Stay in Calorie range: TBA

*Park further away: TBA

Before you buy into what your ex has to say I suggest taking a moment to do a serious self evaluation. If you have health insurance thru your job, they frequently have FREE motivational guidance, support groups, and limited therapy sessions. If I bought into everything that people said about me, I would be miserable. Thankfully, I have the support of REAL friends, and the unforgiving truth from my siblings to help keep me centered. I merely offer this as a suggestion to help you help yourself. Be strong- Know who you are. Don't give into someone else's ideas of YOU.

I've been there with ex spouses. Please do not as Jeannie said "buy into" that. Go through some therapy if you can even a group setting. I've been through spousal abuse groups and they helped me tremendously with my first ex. I didn't revisit that with the 2nd but did go back re-read suggested books as I recognized the return to the same mindset. Be strong for your children, they will see that and use that later in their live. Wish you lot of confidence in the future

I wish you could go back and take a look at my daily forum in the Sassy challenge. I think what I posted might make you feel better.
