..but I need help.
Here's the situation.
I am in yet another fitness slump. Nothing major, but I don't want it to snowball.
Came back from vacation almost 2 weeks ago. Have not worked out. At all.
I exercised every single day of a two week vacation--power walked and did weight w0ork (I had a full set of weights with me). Even with that, my clothes were tight when I came home. Depressing.
Anyway, I gave myself the usual few days for "re-entry", but I am still not back into the swing of things. I have slowly been getting my sleep back on track, but have not been able to get up for AM workouts (which I prefer).
I have had several of these slumps in the past 18-24 months--as evidenced by the bigger clothes in my closet. I seem to do really well for 6 weeks or so, then almost totally derail. I don;t think I am overtraining. And while I surely have "life" issues which have interfered, I don't want to use that as an excuse. there are too many people w/worse troubles than mine who manage to stay on track.
I feel so unfocused and unfit. I don't feel healthy, which is sad , because I am a health professional (too mortified to say what I do), and should be a better example for my patients.
Sorry to whine, but I have been meaning to post this for a while.
I would gladly welcome any motivational advice, though I suspect what I really need is a swift kick in my pin cushion.
Thanks in advance,
Michele
