Working out Woes

Published by 21 Comments

Hello Everyone

 I just need some encouragement here. It's more than seven months since I started working out. A little more actually. Today was one of those days when I just did not want to go the gym. I kept making up excuses in my head that today was not the day to go to the gym. It also being a Monday was a nice excuse because most people in my gym don't workout on mondays lol But not me. I usually go and laud myself on making it after the weekend. Today that wasn't the case. I dragged myself anyway and wore myself out like a turtle.
Now I feel even more tired. 
Have you have reached this kind of plateau or space where sometimes it's really hard to motivate yourself. I keep thinking about the little dresses and wanting to get back to looking fit again. But you know what, even that imagery ain't working for me anymore.
Am not sure if it has something to do with my diet. I keep wanting to have a huge breakfast but making it alone is a big headache. I always have breakfast no matter what but it's not enough I feel. 
Post work out today I had a milk shake made with bananas, honey, walnuts and cocoa powder. It was just to pep myself up. But I still feel so fatigued.
I hope this phase goes away and I enjoy getting back to working out like I used to.
God, please give me the energy and enthusiasm of a 1 and1/2 year old. For those of you who don't know, I have a nephew that age who runs on unbeatable energy all day long with 5 min naps to recharge. 
How I wish I had so much energy again.
Tips, anyone?

    @Preetha- Take your hubby and hit the gym in the morning before the day starts. Some gyms are really good and have nice trainers. I didn't opt for a trainer, I do all the workouts on my own so I get lazy.

    Yeah I am definitely at a plateau right now - just keep pushing yourself, a plateau only means that you're getting so good you need to push your limits more. I decided to change two of my workouts during the week to give myself some variation!

    I can empathise with you, happens with me all the time- so I'm going to share 2 insider stories with you:
    1. Go to a gym which has a lot many eye candies ;)
    2. Have green tea with honey before you head out to your gym.
