Lost focus + reduced exercise = Zero

Well, I seem to have a stall this week. I had been losing at least some weight every week, but this week was a big, fat zero.

I’m sure my stall can be contributed from a reduction in my workout regimen. Although I’ve been good about getting as many mini-workouts in during the day by extra walking, and by throwing in some crunches, sit ups, leg lifts and arm lifts at home, I know it’s not as good a workout as I get at the gym.

So, now I guess I need to quit talking about it and do it.

I know I don’t want to stop losing weight, even after this challenge is over. I seem to have made the transition to healthy eating without much trouble, so why can’t I find the magic trick to making my workout regimen stick?

I don’t know if I have some kind of mental block about exercise or not. I don’t recall anything traumatic happening to me in PE class back in school, at least not anything that more than we’ve all had to go through in PE. I wasn’t a nerd in school, or at least not a full-blown nerd. I did lean more toward the mental challenges than the physical challenges, but I was told I could kick a mean ball playing kick ball.

I also excelled at track in junior high, especially in the high jump and long-distance running. Now I’m lucky to run a block.

Maybe it’s this warm weather teasing me into thinking spring is right around the corner and I can move my workout to the out of doors.

Or maybe it’s just simply that I’ve lost focus and need to find my way back. Ugh!
