I am such a funk, fitness wise.

blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


I've hit a plateau that I can't seem to dig in and find the motivation to bust ass and get through.

at this point, I just don't wanna......but I'm pissed that I'm not moving forward.......basically just frustrated and sick of it......
 
It's easy to feel frustrated and negative when you hit a fitness and/or weight loss plateau, but instead of feeling like you've failed yourself look at the bright side and tell yourself you've simply done so well you've maxed out your current plan--change it up, create a weight lifting plateau busten technique plan, or weight changen'-or-weight sticken' busten dat ass plan!

I've started reading your article, but will have to finish it in the morning.

So far, it sounds really good, thank you for the link.

I think it comes down to connecting the knowledge in my head to the actions of my body. I know what to do, in fact, I've done it before (lost over 50 pounds before having children). I've even helped others to do it when I was training. It just seems like there is this mental block that keeps me from maintaining focus and motivation. It's just all jumbled up in my head right now, and I can't seem to straighten it out.

oh, and thanks for the cool rhymes sweety. They made me smile.
 
Plateaus are frustrating - I've been on one weightwise for several months now. But by the same token I've not been exactly careful with my nutrition. I'm reaching the point where I'll be pissed off to actually do something about it though. I think you've not reached that point yet, but you sound like you're converging on it.
 
That's exactly is Stingo. It's been several months now, and I'm frustrated and upset, but I just haven't hit my "that's it!" point yet. It's funny how you think you only have to reach that point once, then you get on track and lose weight, when really, that point sometimes has to be reached several times during the whole process.

It just wouldn't seem like with my background in training that I would even get to this point, but I guess no one is above frustration, plateaus, and lack of motivation.
 
hey! how about using you rbody to do something. Sign up for a 5K, or a marathon, or an adventure trip, or softball, or volleyball, or roller blading or soemthing.

have som,e fun!!

YOU CAN! It's even good for ya! Yer way too cool to keep sniveling for long!

I saw this and thought of you Deshain:

Self-esteem must be earned! When you dare to dream, dare to follow that dream, dare to suffer through the pain, sacrifice, self-doubts, and friction from the world, you will genuinely impress yourself.

Just like there are ups and downs in weight loss and muscle gains, one also has ups and downs in motivation. If one is as keen in seeking to resolve the complications of weight loss and Muscle gaines, why not be as keen in learning a different application of motivation====it is there if one looks.


If your dreams turn to dust....vacuum.

I believe I hit that plateau too. The thing I did was increase my weight lifting segments, and slightly increased my cardio section. I'm not sure what happened, but I am seeing physical changes, but no weight changes.

Hopefully I can get out of this in a bit. However, I'm not so worried as I've only been doing this for 5 months now and I gotten pretty far with it. I always told myself I would set no deadline. It can be pretty depressing though when you see no weight loss.

This has only been going on for about 3 weeks now. So I'm not so worried. However, given more time, I think I may get angry with it.

Do note know, that you're young. You got your whole life to get in shape. Chillen, as I noticed, is a fairly old man, and he looks like he's in the best shape of his life. If he can get into that kind of shape late, then certainly someone in their 20s can see that it doesn't matter how soon, just as long as you get there someday. Certainly, putting time restrictions will make it harder when you don't meet your goals, and will only cause you to expect more on the next goal you put forth.

YES! Controlled ANGER IS GOOD!...........Breathe the crap in, get pissed that there is a plateau!.................Keep an open mind........and this can be the breading ground...........to break the Mother F@cker.

HELL, yes, I have been there. I had to remove over 20 years of fat tissue accumulation. In the short version, if there is one thing I have learned is that the MIND will determine your bodily fruits. And, if the bodily response isnt one you like, your mind is the one in control to change it, as the body will only respond to the differences and simularities you allow to be applied from the mind.

Chillen, I love Dr. Laura, thanks for the quote.


You both are so great. Thank you.

I had a nice workout this morning. It wasn't as hardcore as it could've been, but I enjoyed it and it lifted my spirits - which I believe can sometimes be just as important as getting in that balls-to-the-wall workout you know?

Then I went to the grocery store (in my workout clothes). FYI, one is much less likely to buy junk food when wearing workout clothes, so as to avoid looking like an idiot. :11doh: (my apologies to those who buy junk food while wearing workout clothes - but come on, it does look a little silly don't you think?)

Try taking a week off. Then you will feel refreshed and ready to jump back in.

It sounds like she has been taking months off. At least that's what I got from her posts.

I know how you feel deschain. I'm kindof at the same spot right now but it's a little complicated. On the one hand I want to get down to 120 (at 125 now) but on the other hand my weightlifting routines have been getting better and better. It feels oh so good to be able to lift more and more weight. That doesn't happen when I am eating less :(

So right now my goals are kindof in limbo and I'm not sure what to shoot for and in the mean time I'm eating too much garbage. Mostly in the form of pies. And in the quantity of one a week :rolleyes:

Tony-I'm headin' your way, sounds like a great workout. I'm sure the flight to NJ from TX a couple times a week won't be thaaaat expensive, right?


Nicole- kinda sorta. For the most part, I've been eating well and working out. It's just that I've been cheating a bit too much, and missing too many workouts. Which for my body does not translate into slowed progress, but noooo progress. Gotta love a genetic tendency to hold weight (my whole family is like that - not all obese or anything, just hard to lose and easy to gain).

It feels good to talk about it. The frustration has been growing for a long time and I need to get it out.

I have 2 cheats coming this week, and no more for the foreseeable future.

Today is mine and my son's birthday, so we are going to his fav Mex restaurant where they sing to you and bring you a free little dessert thingy for your bday. Friday night, dh and I are going on a date night alone for both our birthdays (his is Aug7/mine is Aug14) - which will be fried seafood (my total weakness). sooooo, those are some pretty bad cheats. But, that's life.
