I'm Losing My UMPH

I am having a hard time with motivation still. I need to find a way for me to grab on to what ever motivation I can and run with it.
I have basically stopped counting calories. I don't know why. I just haven't been doing it. I have missed quite a few workouts in the past week. My water intake is getting better, but that doesn't change the fact that I am GAINING weight. It is so frustrating.
I need to get back the enthusiasm that I had last month.

Making Changes

 

I have decided that I need to make a change in my exercise routine. I am hating the game more and more lately. I really only like the the kick boxing routines, but the workouts that are scheduled most days are circuit training routines. I don't really like them, and half he time the exercises require putting the Wii remote in my pocket, but the game doesn't recognize that I am doing these exercises. I often just give up and wait for the next exercise. I tried changing the program that I was doing to a kick boxing centered program, but it scheduled me for another week of circuit training. I am becoming less and less motivated by having routines scheduled that I don't really enjoy. My solution: I am going to dust off the workout DVDs and use those for my daily workouts. Between Chad and I we have quite a few of them. I don't want to totally lose my motivation to workout in the mornings. I am hoping that by recognizing it now, I will be able to fix the problem. I am also hoping that being able to chose from a variety of options instead of being told what I am going to be doing each day will help me be excited to work out again. I know I need to lose weight, and I am not going to stop trying until I find something that works.

Almost There

3 of 4 weeks complete!

I have been doing the Biggest Loser Challenge for the Wii for 3 whole weeks. I have only completely missed one work out (if you go by the game two because one day I did a video instead of turn on the game). I have to admit I have given up on a few. It is getting harder and harder to get up at 5:00 to workout every morning, but I am still chugging along the best I can.Thursday, I wasn't feeling well so I only worked out for about 10 minutes before I felt like I had the decision of getting sick in my living room or turning off the Wii. I chose to turn off the Wii. I really have no excused for giving up on other workouts.
As far as keeping track of my calorie intake, I do better some days than others. Really, that is harder than working out. I have been tracking it less and less as time goes by.
Over all, I have lost about 3 pounds total. I can't be too upset with that number, but I know I can do better. This will be the last week on this program. I want to finish it off strong. Now that all of the Girl Scout cookies that aren't already spoken for are going to be returned to the troop, it should be easier to stick to a diet of sorts. Hopefully, that will help with the exhaustion I have been feeling as well.
