Food Not In My Head
I'm doing okay with the workouts. I haven't really worked out this week and for no real reason other than it's been really cold here in Texas and I HATE to be cold! More than hating to be cold, I hate to be wet and cold, so when I work out in the morning and have to shower and change for work only to go outside, still a little wet from the shower, my hair still with a little sweat in it (my hair is too long to wash and dry at the gym and still make it to work on time) and the cold/wet feeling hits me and I can just feel the flu trying to seep into my pores! I hate that feeling!
Okay, I digress. I needed to work out this week and I didn't. I worked out for 4 days last week and I now realize that if I allow myself a day off, it totally derails me. I'm going out of town this weekend, so I plan to get back on workout track on Monday. I like working out. I'm good at it. I get it. I like to run on the treadmill. I like to workout with the machines and free weights and bands and the ball. I LIKE TO WORK OUT! Yes, I do.
However, food is becoming a HUGE issue for me. I cannot wrap my head around eating properly right now. I know what to do. I know what to cook. I know how to do it. I just can't get there. I am still stopping by Starbucks every morning for my frappuccino and pastry of some sort. I have been eating out to lunch every day instead of bringing my lunch. I NEED to get this figured out!! I need so badly to get past this hurdle!
The oddest thing about all of this is that since I've gained back those 22 pounds +some (and realized how easy it is to gain weight, but how hard it is to lose it!!), I'm still in a size 14. It's not just that my 14s have stretched, either. I went shopping this past weekend for some work clothes and the 16s were too big, but the 14s fit perfectly. In fact, I'm sitting here in a new pair of size 16 pants that I've decided are too big, even though I love them and will just belt them because I think they're awesome. How weird is that??
We're going to start trying to have a baby this spring, like April. I need to get 40 pounds off before I start gaining baby weight, preferably closer to 60 pounds, but there's no way I can do that if I don't get on the wagon!
Holy crap. I just feel like I'm sitting on the side of the road watching the wagons go by and just can't find it in myself to jump on one. AUGH!!

I'm sorry that you seem to be struggling right now. We all have been there at some point or another. We just have to do it. As for the workouts. You know you can do it, you know you like it, so make the time to do it and don't make excuses. Yep it's cold out, and it's no fun, but it happens every year. Right now it's -33 here and that's without the wind. Find a time and make a plan as to when it will work best for you to workout, and really stick with it. You wouldn't just skip out on work because it's cold would you? yeah I know I'd like to too! lol.
As for the food. You know what you need to do here as well. Just curious. Are you stopping at Starbucks and going out to eat for convenience or simply because you think it's okay? Cut out the pastry at least, and make sure your drink is non-fat. Start packing your lunch...there is no reason to go out for lunch every day. Not only does it allow you to non make the best choices but it's such a waste of money!
I know what it's like to lose and then gain. It sucks big time. Been there done that, working on working my way back down. We too would like to start a family at some point and I know that I'm not comfortable doing that at the weight I'm at now. I'm sure you feel the same way!
So right now I'm riding by on a wagon, reaching my hand out to you, and encouraging you to jump on board because I know you have it in you!!!!
