Maybe the weight is not motivating you anymore and you need a new set of goals to achieve. For me when I need to take a break from what my weight is, I try focusing on running, etc. You could make a goal of a 5k and then work on getting your 5k time down - that is something I am trying to do and I love it. Or, like Cassi said, switch up your routine. I will lift weights at the gym on my own for a while, then do classes, then do workout DVDs - and then change those up. Good luck! If there is one things I HAVE motivation for it is working out. Food, on the other hand.... I need some serious help there. So if you got some tips for that PLEASE send them my way! lol.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03721636291269235310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641711310669726084.post-8651743831088272782010-09-24T12:45:32.779-07:002010-09-24T12:45:32.779-07:00Katie, I'm afraid I don't have any grand t...Katie, I'm afraid I don't have any grand tips or advice because I am not that great at motivating myself to workout either, but I will say, YOU CAN DO IT! I think the take a break tip is a good one. Give yourself a few days and then charge on with a new workout. Mix it up. I am amazed at how disciplined you are. Keep at it, I'm going to need some motivation myself come February when I'll have to get rid of some baby weight!Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00085497678549381419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641711310669726084.post-42064741656096359202010-09-24T07:29:18.141-07:002010-09-24T07:29:18.141-07:00Personally, I would take a break for a week just t...Personally, I would take a break for a week just to recharge and relax. It's healthy for your body to take a break every 8-12 weeks, and most athletes do that so they don't burn out...just be sure to get back into a rhythm again. Are you doing the same thing every day? At the beginning of each month I decide my goals for that month and choose an exercise program. The next month I switch it up so I'm not so bored. Right now I'm doing P90x and I love it. It's fun to have something different to do every day, and I rarely get bored. I'm not perfect and I definitely have half-hearted workouts, but I make sure to write that down in a journal to make sure I'm being honest with myself...when I look back on my week and see I've had a few "half-hearted" workouts, I mentally challenge myself to do better the next week...anyway, that's what I do. Food journals are also helpful, but I'm too lazy to do that....C and C Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03960530548381598811noreply@blogger.com
