October 4: Nothing. Was exhausted and am apparently back to my backslidden ways and poor sleep habits.
October 5: W3D3 after a sleepless night. Was rough! Don't know whether it was tiredness or just that I'm not ready to move on to Wk 4.

Recently its been really hard to find the motivation to exercise. The diet part is not hard but the physical is ROUGH.

I know it can be tough but remember your goals and why you are doing this. Hang in there

morning everyone and it is cold out there. I am going to wear gloves tomorrow morning.

Yesterday - Weight Training - completed
Today - Ab Ripper X and Treadmill

Toastedsmoke, I agree, physical is harder but remember it is to enhance the diet part you're following. Eating healthy and physical workout go hand in hand. Just hang in there...Also, I noticed, for me anyway, that my workouts were much better on days I ate some form of carb (between 100-200 calorie) an hour or so before my workouts (especially, cardio). I really noticed a change in the energy as I felt less tired. I usually had a slice of bread with little butter. Maybe, it might be something you might want to look into. Also, are you drinking some sort of recovery (protein) drink after?

Amelia, welcome to this thread

Have a wonderful day everyone! And, definitely, keep up the hard work!

Good Morning and thanks for the welcome~!

I plan on doing a lower body and some pilates today...peeked at the scale this morning and its down almost a lb since saturdays WI. Gotta keep going....

toastedsmoke-I had a couple of days last week like that. Just had no motivation(and i normally look forward to my workouts). I took a couple of days off...it helped alot and i felt really 'refreshed' when getting back into it.

have a good day

Came home from work and saw this note on the memo board...

"I will take the dogs for their walk today...I love you "

Guess she is missing walking with the dogs since I have been off or home from work early for a couple of weeks....

We both took them for a short one

Great job with the workouts everyone Very motivating!

I've been having problems with the site the last couple of days. It is very slow and when I finally get a page loaded it's all wonky It seems fine tonight though.

Yesterday: Step workout = 61 mins.
Today: 47 mins on my Stairmaster + 8 min ab workout + 38 mins weight circuit workout.

Welcome Amelia Glad you joined us! I see you use Cardio Coach. I have volumes 3 & 4.

Echo, glad you are starting to feel better

Toastedsmoke, I had a day like that yesterday. Every minute of my step workout was a struggle. Hang in there and take rest days when you need them
