I barely workout anymore!!


When I was in the process of losing 35 pounds, I liiiived for the gym and eating healthy. I worked out about 6 days a week hardcore, looked really in shape, and didn't even crave bad food. But now that I lost the weight, I am getting "too okay" with my normal looking body, so I have NO motivation to be healthy. I dread the gym now and mostly don't go. I don't stop myself from eating whatever I want whenever. Where did my motivation go? This has been going on for a good month and it's freaking me out. I haven't gained anything back, but I can tell I don't LOOK as fit as before. HELP!

This happens to many areas of our lives. We set a goal & go all out to reach it. Once we reach it it seems "now what?. You're not alone. It's time to revaluate & switch things around. Focusing on an activity that you enjoy makes a difference. Try getting a friend or family member involved. I started taking martial arts after getting tired of the gym. I bought a few workout DVD's for mornings. My endurance & flexibility improved with martial arts & I have belts to work as new goals & it's a fun & challenging. People are there to help keep me accountable. Find something you enjoy! That's what keeps you going....

Switch up your approach, give up the "gym" and try one of the yoga challenges going on now. 21 days is all it takes to break a habit, or form a new one! Signing up for a 21 day yoga challenge will change your workout mindset and maybe forget about "looking fit" and just loving feeling fit.

Maybe you should take a good look at what you really want: Healthy, strong, or whatever, then figure out why you want that. That may help you get the motivation back.
