Hi Ilene, hope it's OK if I join in here
I have posted on the 3FC forums before, but haven't been around much lately.....as you can probably guess I gained some lbs back that I had previously lost. My goal is to ultimately lose about 15 pounds, but I'm not tied down to that number since I would be comfortable weighing more - as long as it's muscle!
Anyways, for the past two summers I have focused on losing weight, only to slowly gain it back during the school year. I just graduated college, and find myself in the same situation for the third time.
Even though I logically know what I need to do, I am finding it difficult for some reason to re-commit to my health. Maybe it is because I know I'm not returning to school in the fall, so I know there is no "wow" factor in store for me when my friends see a slimmer me...I'm not really sure. But now I am living at home, looking for a job, and feeling like I am in limbo here!
I think I am less motivated to stay OP with eating and exercising because as I said, I have not committed myself to any specific goal. I have been pondering signing up for a 5K, but am not sure that even that will motivate me. I guess I am looking for a good kick in the butt to get myself into gear, from here or anywhere!
Hope everyone has a good holiday weekend to look forward to...
