Feeling... Blah....

Yep, that's how I'm feeling lately.  Just blah. 

I go through these funks every now and then, so for me it's just part of who I am.  I get to the point that I have no motivation to do anything, I'm tired, and I look for excuses to not exercise or to not eat healthy.  Usually this feeling lasts a day or two and then I'm back it.

But this time around, the funk has persisted for nearly a week.  I've been feeling completely worn out, I haven't exercised since Sunday and even my walking has dropped to nearly nothing (and my Fitbit Friends have noticed and commented on it!).  I had kept my eating somewhat under control, until yesterday.  Then it became a junk food frenzy. 

I wish I could say that today is starting out better, but I am eating a big ol' cinnamon roll as I write this.  They say confession is good for the soul, right?  Maybe if I get back to blogging, writing about my struggles, then I can somehow manage to work (write) myself out of this funk and get back on track.  I am a much better person when I am exercising regularly and eating right.  I'm less emotional, have more energy, and I don't feel blah.

Weight Watchers stresses the importance of making small changes.  Don't try to do everything at once because that can be overwhelming.  So I'm going to work on one thing today.  Getting my step goal.  This is something I will have to work at, but it is something doable.  I will get my step goal today.

As I may have mentioned before, I have an unusual daily step goal.  I have my step goal set at 14, 286.  Why such an odd number?  Because my daily step goal helps me reach my weekly goal of 100,000 steps.  If make the daily goal, then I know I will get my weekly goal. 

How far off from my weekly goal at this moment?  I currently have 43,128 for the past 6 days.  So going from my average of 90,000-100,000 weekly steps, down to 43,000... well, you can see why my Fitbit Friends were concerned.

So, today I focus on steps.  And if experience (and this never-ending weight loss journey) has taught me anything, it's that when I focus on small change, all the other pieces needed to get back on track just seem to fall into place.

It's time to get out of this funk and move on with my life.  I want to old me back... the contented with life, energized, less pessimistic Stacy!  (Anyone who knows me, know I would be lying if I said my general attitude is a positive one, so less pessimistic is all I'm striving for!  LOL)

I'm going to wrap this up so I can go do my "walk about" the building and get a few more steps on my Fitbit.  Here's to a more positive Friday so I can go into the weekend with a better attitude!
