It was in the back of the closet collecting dust, but I think I found my motivation

I climbed on the scale yesterday morning and saw a number I don't like. 153.
That is 3 pounds over my original goal weight of 150. A weight I have
managed to stay below for almost a full year. My chart is above that awful
red goal line. It feels terrible.

According to my last weigh in, I have gained 6 pounds in the last month.
Yikes. The only solace I take is that while I can pack on the pounds with a
quickness, I have always been able to take them off fairly easily as well.
Here's hoping, right?

This morning the scale told me 151.8. Makes me feel somewhat better. I am
planning on being below that red line before my surgery and staying there
throughout my recovery. I *think* that I will be able to do some pilates
while I am off my foot. I need to talk to the doctor about it more, but
right now, that and some weight lifting is all that I think I will be able
to do... and I will be doing it. If it's one thing I've learned over all of
this crap, it's that maintaining a workout schedule, no matter how low
impact or intensity it may be, is key to staying on track.

I got to the gym yesterday morning. Managed 25 minutes on the arc trainer
before my foot revolted, and got my usual weight routine in. It felt
great... why can I never remember that when I'm laying in bed in the morning
wanting to puss out? This morning was rough, but I challenged myself to just
get up and do it anyway---so I got in about 40 minutes of yoga and
pilates... nothing earth shattering, but something... and I'm glad I did it.

dust it off!

Congrats on getting to the gym this morning!  It's a good first step, to be sure.

Just do it

Sometimes you just have to go through the motions.  Even if you're not motivated to get moving, you just have go go ahead and do it anyway.  You'll be just fine - I'm not worried!

Like looking in a mirror...

I swear, so much of your last 2 posts is totally me it's not funny.  I'm sure you'll get those pounds off, because once you set your mind to it, there's no stopping you.  You totally blazed on down through the pounds last year reaching your goal uber quick that I will forever be envious of.

Good stuff at finding your motivation and tossing yourself back in!

red goal line

I never noticed that line until you mentioned it! 

I love your march picture!

Got the motivation polished up?

Hope you are well.

Motivation

Good for you!  That's some real motivation, to get as much exercise in as you can even though you have a busted foot.  If you lost weight quickly before then you probably will be just as fotunate this time around. :)  Good luck!
