Yup, that's my title. I don't know what to do. Seriously, why am I sabotaging myself so badly? I don't want to work out, don't want to eat right, don't want to do a darn thing. I'm lazy, I know I am. I have no desire to change anything, to fix anything.


Boy, am I in a rut.


I know I need short-term goals, with some sort of reward at the end. Do you think I should set something up with K? Although, it has to be somethign I REALLY want, that I can't buy for myself.


My friend asked me a good questoin. What motivates me to do things, and GET THEM DONE?!?! I had to think about it. Either it's something that is forced (i.e. packing to move) or something I am totally sick of (i.e. cleaning cuz it's dirty). But losing weight, nothing is forcing me to do it. Not even my pitiful health issues (i.e. sore feet, clothes not fitting, etc).


At this moment, I'm going to sign up with Girls On the Move through Health.com magazine. You can find other women in your area, to run with. Maybe I can find me a running partner who'll force me to go. Bleah. Maybe I should check out the local gyms and see what kind of classes they have.

Maybe I should teach all of you how to be a slug. Yesterday, I forced K to stop moving, and just relax. If he wasn't cleaning, he was doing this, or that. lol. I forced him to just sit down and be.

Ok then, I'm blaming my lack of "true" vegging ability on my Mom. She guilted me so much over the years that I should always be doing something, that even when I'm just trying to veg, she ends up in my head telling me what I could be doing instead of sitting there. Or maybe I just need to drink more... ;-)

Too bad women can't live on wine alone! I swear a bottle of wine sure does a lot for the guilts, worries, and crabbies!!! Oh and makes the in-laws much more bearable. ;o)

Ohmigod, you two crack me up. Unfortunately, if I drank wine, I'd be sick, but I guess, I wojldn't be feeling guilty nor thinking about anything. :)

That is the question! At what point will I do something??? Every time I look at a scale I think "is this it is this enough shock value for you??? Huh??? How far are you going to let this go???? Huh???" I just can't seem to intimidate myself. lol Doesn't work with the kids either now that I'm thinking about it. Maybe I should leave out the Huhs???

LOL. Oh, I totally undersatnd that one. I think I had "sticker shock" when I got on the scale after my trip from HI. Wow. lol. Still not enough though. And I'm with you, I for some reason, think one day, it'll just hit me and I'll do something. But until then, try to eat well, so I don't gain MORE.


Huh? lol.


Maybe I need to break up with K, that seemed to do it last time, cuz it was a total distraction.

I've been there. But the older I get the more I realize that if I dont take care of myself no one will. My kids mean more to me than anything and i would hate to not be there for them in the future because of health issues or because of something I didnt take care of now. Your life is that important. I try to remember that everything I do effects the people I love. My parents have been there for me, and i hate to think what would happend to us if for some unknown reason they could not. So if you have family, freinds, a pet, or a career, and most important yourself. You should do something about it and get motivated! I started by walking at work 30 mn a day w a co-worker.
