Please, help motivate me

[brightbluegirl]

I agreed to the 28 day challenge.

I promised myself.

Today is a difficult, difficult day. It's been leading up to it, all week.

All I want to do is go home, lay in bed, eat, read, and maybe watch tv. I just want to loaf, to slug, to sleep.

I'm supposed to do my leg workout today.

Please help.

I'm unmotivated because yesterday wasn't the day off I hoped for (we trekked around downtown a bit), and because I haven't seen the scales move this week.

I'm unmotivated because I'm in a mental slump, I'm feeling a little blue, I'm tired.

Please help.

Oh boy - when you look back at the end of your 28 days and see that you've followed through on what you set out to do DESPITE the hard days, it'll be that much more satisfying.

Oh believe me.

Why so blue?

I don't know, actually. The way the day started kinda threw me for a loop - staying on transit for 2 hours to do a 30 minute trip, and getting in to work late, kinda just sucks.

Other than that... I dunno. I mean, I think I'm pms'ing, but I hate using that as an excuse. It's the right time for it, though.

And I'm pretty sure I'm coming down with something. The extra mucus is not attractive, and the nausea I've been dealing with off and on all day... well... you know, ick.

I want to not work out, really, and I want someone to tell me that obviously it's ok to not work out for these reasons, because the big picture is more important, and it's not like I'm eating bad things or taking a month off or whatever, but that taking care of myself when not feeling stellar, is important. Heh.

I mean, I can tell that to anyone in a heartbeat, if they need it. It's just when it comes to me, I assume that I'm being lazy or shirking or some other bad thing, instead of taking care of my needs. *SIGH*

help!

...because you're worth it.

That wasn't supposed to sound so cheesy.

Just do your legs girl!!! Then you can lay in bed and watch TV with that nice warm glow of having worked out those legs. ;)

I so completely totally understand. I took yesterday off, too. I guess I'm going to have to take a day off every week, instead of working out for 28 days straight. I just get too frustrated when the scale doesn't show my hard work.
