Relapse

I have fallen off the workout wagon.... again.

I just checked my stats online, and I'm averaging a pitiful two-times-a-week. I've only lifted weights THREE TIMES in the last month and a half, mostly I'm just doing a 30-min cardio.

So, I desparately need to get myself back on track. The problem is, I had done reasonably well with losing that blasted third-baby weight up until a year ago. I started some medication that led to some fairly rapid weight gain, and I also lost motivation right about that same time, which affected the workouts, etc. I also think there may be some mild hypothyroidism going on, as I just recently got my thyroid tested which had some borderline results. Doc appointment forthcoming to discuss further.

My plan is to keep a more detailed workout journal and food journal. I would like to get back up to the 3-4 times per week workout schedule, and get back into that morning routine that affords me a longer workout to include weightlifting. My trouble of late has been that I can't drag myself out of bed early enough -- so that even if I do go in early, I only have time for the cardio and not both.

I've also been less dedicated to my lunchtime workout -- by the time lunch rolls around, I've come up with about forty excuses as to why I just can't break myself away from my desk. That will not be improving. This week we had a consultant in all week to help us with a ginormous database migration we are undertaking. It took hours upon hours each day this week, and we're only talking about what we have to clean up / address in prep for the migration. In the coming months we will have a ton of stuff to actually do. So I'm not terribly optimistic that the desire-slash-ability to get to the gym on my lunch break will be all that prevalent.

So .... how to solve. Aside from keeping up that food/exercise journal, I'm not quite sure. I just need to get that drive back. Right now, I seem to be driven primarily to punch the snooze button, and eat sugar. Any problems with that?
