These past 2 weeks I felt like I have been on autopilot. I was not struggling to do want I needed to do but I did find myself questioning every move I made. I went on my morning runs, did my workouts, and ate clean but I did not feel the same motivation while doing them. I do not know if I need an energy recharge or a mental boost. I believe there are always battles in the mind all the time but to me it is odd that it came right after conquering a goal of losing over 100 pounds.
One time last week I was working out and the thought of stopping just popped up in my mind. In that second I knew I had to defeat that voice of doubt in my mind at that very moment. So I thought to myself, what will take longer, me reaching my fitness goal, looking muscular having little body fat and continuing to have a strong mindset. OR to go back to the old me, being obese, lazy and having little discipline. I realized then that it will take some more months plus more hardwork to reach my goal and it would take years to revert back to my old ways. I chose to do the hard work and keep on pushing through.
I was doing research and found out what I was going through in my mind is very common. It happens all the time, fighting to keep the excitement. Everyone goes through it but what matters are the actions and decisions we make afterwards. I also believe that is a sign that I do need a recharge for my body and mind. That does not me I will take a break, but rather I will find a way to switch things up a bit, to keep it fresh and unfamiliar for me. I believe a little change of scenery for a week will do the trick.
