Is it something in the water?

I’ve been trying like mad to catch up on my blog reading and I’ve seen a trend among a lot of weight loss blogs—struggling.  Sadly, you can add me to this list.  I don’t know what it is, but I just can’t get my act together.  I haven’t worked out since Monday (although I have been doing a lot of running around, which my ActiveLink tells me is enough to reach my goal) and I haven’t tracked in, well, a few days.

I’ll be honest, I haven’t been commenting on these posts because I don’t know what I can say.  It’s hard to pull someone up when you are down there with them. 

This all drives me crazy because I know how to do this—I have the tools.  It’s just getting myself back on my feet and I don’t know why I’m struggling with that so much!  It’s not a depression or SAD flare up because, otherwise, I feel fine.  If I have to put a word to it, I guess I would say that I’m feeling resentful about having to be on this weight loss journey.

And I know that is crazy!  I know that the only way I can achieve a truly healthy lifestyle is by changing how I currently live.  I know this.  So why can’t I turn my words into action?

Ugh!  I know this is becoming one huge whine, so I’ll stop it now.  I know what I need to do and, for good or for bad, all you readers get to witness it.  There may be more whining, but I have to have some place to be truly accountable and, you guess it, this is it.

Now, here is a little something to get me going:
