Getting Over the Hump, Back on the Wagon, out of a Slump…

Perhaps I spoke too soon.  In my rush to see results, I went from zero exercise during the previous two-three weeks, to expecting cardio, and weights, every single day.  See here, for my awesome, but perhaps unrealistic March goals.

So far, I have been to Zumba once, and completed c25k once.  Yep, something is wrong with this picture.

I don’t have any real excuses for this, everyone experiences waning motivation once in a while.  I think more than anything, I have just been lazy.  And I have been fairly happy with my plateau – sitting with a loss, and not gaining.  But, I have about 8 more kilograms to say farewell to forever!

So, where to from here? What to do?!!  I think I’m going to try to lower the expectations a little bit, and just focus on consistency – exercise and paleo.

But, at the same time, complacency is not ok.  I know paleo = weight loss for me, but if I want faster/maintainable weight loss I need cardio, and to lift!  I need to exercise a minimum of four times a week, and(!) I need to start incorporating weights.  And I need to start saying no to sugar (100%).  And And And!

I want this, so I gotta be the one to make it happen
