Eats for Wednesday 9/1/10

Wow, it's September already. Omg!
I'm on vacation (cue GoGos background music) in 17 days. Not that I'm counting or anything.

Anyweigh, I'm having a very low budget week this week, so you will see repeats of a lot of meals in various forms. When I actually restock my fridge, things will liven up a little.

Weigh in 8/31



Weigh in day again.
I'm down 1 pound from last week. 7.8 total.
Yay!

I am celebrating this loss, but I am still disappointed in myself for not stepping it up more. The little losses are encouraging me but I still feel like I'm in a rut.

I think a lot of it has to do with stress and the weather. When I'm feeling stressed, I tend to get in a funk where I just want to be on the couch in my pajamas. Sometimes that means I binge, which I actually haven't done this time around. That's a small victory.

I've also been lazy because of the weather. I've been itching to hit the trails and hike with the pup but it's just been too hot. Yeah, I could easily work out at home, but...refer to the above mentioned funk.

It's a vicious cycle that I need to break out of. I always feel so much better when I exercise and I know that's what will really give me the results I want.

This should be easy. Just do it. Just move my fat ass.
So, why is is so hard to get into a routine and stick to it?
How do you do it? What's your secret?
