So I did do zumba yesterday, and I went to the gym the day before that. But I haven't been really exercising lately. I haven't been in the mood for anything.

When I went to the gym I didn't even work out to my full potential so I got upset. And the only reason I did zumba is because I ordered it and it got delivered to me yesterday.

This morning I did absolutely nothing, not even my calisthenics. I have no motivation for working out. And it scares me. I also been eating foods that aren't the best.

Now I'm not depressed or anything, I feel completely fine, it's just whenever I think of working out i cringe. And since it's been so long I don't know where to start.

One thing I read somewhere is that on this journey to better choices, food-wise and exercise-wise, the wagon doesn't move when you fall off of it. You don't have to catch up--you just have to start again.

Coming here for support is the right thing to do--and I'm offering you a hand up--you can do this--you've lost 25 lbs which is enough to have made a significant difference to your body, health-wise--you can do this and I'm cheering for you!

Sounds like you need to find your motivation again. Maybe you just need to switch it up a bit. What motivated you in the first place? Try watching Biggest Loser series to help get you going...it's what works for me. LOL

When you just start an exercise program--most go through the same feelings. UGG--I really don't want to do that today. But--if you force yourself to do it--you actually get addicted to it. You actually start to like it. Yeah I know finally a good addiction--and you physically feel bad if you don't exercise. So force yourself to do it. It doesn't take long to set new good habits--and exercise is a very good one and (eventually-an-enjoyable--habit) to get into.

4 to 5 times a week of good exercise takes 10 to 15 years off of your physical age. That is a fact. And there's no better feeling than feeling like you're 10 to 20 years younger. And that's what consistent exercise does for you.

Try to plan your workouts like a daily routine, your body and mind will get used to the routine almost like a biological alarm clock. I walk everyday in the morning, and then at night if I get a chance. After a while my body started to get antsy when I was doing nothing almost as if it was telling me lets go work out. I also do not overload my body, I noticed the moment I start doing heavy workouts with extra loads my body would go into stress mode, after, I would overeat and my mind would associate the workout with a stressful situation making it less willing to go through the same expirience again.
