I’m Baaaaaack!!
October 2nd, 2008
Well, I’m back from my hol and it was nice to go away and have a rest. I weighed 10st 7.2 Ibs (147.2Ib) on monday and i weighed 146.2Ib today so gradually working off the weight i put on over the last 2 weeks- y’see what with being ill and having a bad leg i’ve done almost no exercise for the last 2 weeks, and last week I just ate and drunk whatever was put in front of me. Or near me. Or was just laying arounf in the fridge minding it’s own business… 
I’ve really gotta shake of the lazy bug and get back down the gym…and i’ll start official weigh-ins again when I’ve worked off these few pounds I put on. Honestly I think a lot will be water weight because i ate a LOT of bread last week (and pizza last night! Naughty!)

Hello! I’m glad you’re back
Motivation is so tricky. I got mine back by picturing my mental holiday image! And it’s just a determination that returned, though I’m sure it’s not out the blue. There’s probably other factors too!
Something I try to do is write down why I’m feeling unmotivated. When I do that, (and when I’m honest!) I usually find it’s that I’m scared that I will fail, or that I will find it difficult to maintain, or that things aren’t happening quick enough. And then once it’s down on the paper I can look at them almost from the outside, and be more speculative and try to break down all the things I worry about. Like, I had to really work on being realistic! But now that I have, little set backs don’t demotivate me because I have plenty of time.
I’m sorry, don’t know if this will help you at all, but either way, I’m glad you’re back!
