xohhjeez's Journal, 22 April 2015

I feel like I have given up, but not in a bad way. I still am maintaining my current weight like a champ, but I don't stick to a meal plan anymore, I am not super restrictive, and I can honestly say I don't work out as much as I would like to anymore. I can definitely tell a change in my body composition, especially since I've stopped weight lifting. I'm a little more pudgy than I would like, especially in my stomach area. It's just exhausting. Its exhausting trying to focus solely on this journey. I'm exhausted logging my food, and working out, and restricting myself. I am not angry at myself, not even a little. If I gained the weight back, then I would be angry. I just feel like I've given up in a way, and I feel okay with it, which is a scary thought. Its scary because I still have 25ish pounds to lose to get to my final goal weight. Its scary because I still haven't made it out past the 140's (which is my first actual goal). I still don't feel comfortable enough to wear a bikini. I still can't run, and I'm certain all my PRs have dropped. I just need to get back into the fitness mindset and stop being comfortable.
146.5 lb Lost so far: 22.5 lb.    Still to go: 0 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.

Great that you are maintaining your weight! Sometimes we just need some time off, and that's ok :) Hope you find your motivation soon. I just found mine again after almost a year off and 10kg upwards... :p

Maintenance is definitely hard to do...when you're ready to hop back on and go with gusto, you know what to do!

Perhaps let go of of the "all or nothing" thinking and work to find a moderate place that you can maintain long term. So, this many calories or this many days of exercise that can be doable and sustainable, it is lifestyle not on a diet or off a diet.

I felt that way last week. I allowed myself to take the weekend off because i was so burned out and needed to refocus. I think its ok to take breaks. Maybe we should just let them be small breaks and then try to rededicate yourself. Its always good to keep a goal in mind. Maybe even a reward/vacation that you can look forward to and get yourself excited about. Congrats on maintaining your weight though. You had to have been doing a little something right :)! YOU'VE GOT THIS!! DON'T LET THE WORLD AROUND YOU KEEP YOU STAGNANT! GOOD LUCK GIRL!!
