Hello dear readers! I recently returned from a lovely trip to Southern California where I visited with family and spent a wonderful week at the Disneyland resort! It was fun, it was magical, and it made me gain 3 pounds?!!!
For those long time readers of Losing with Loves you'll recall a post by Hilary which also talked about Disneyland. When she came home from Disneyland she also had surprisingly gained 3 pounds.
This is seriously a conundrum for me. I walked around that park from sun up to sun down for 4 days. I was even wearing my new shape up shoes (which deserve a post of their own) and I gained. The even more sad news it that right before I left for the vacation I had gone up about 2.5 pounds at my last weigh in. I thought, "that's ok, I'll work it all off at Disneyland." Wrong!
I could go over all the reasons why I gained on the trip. Obviously I didn't follow weight watchers because I wanted to enjoy myself and not have to worry about it. I still tried to make healthy choices though maybe that churro wasn't such a good idea (I did split it in thirds and only ate 1/3!).
The main point is now it's time to get back on track. Only thing is, how do I do that? I feel like I've fallen so far off the wagon that I find myself saying "Oh well. I tried, it didn't work. Maybe I just can't do it" (Oh, Jillian would beat me if she heard me saying the word "can't").
How do you get back on track? How do you motivate yourself to try again? Is it ever too late to try?

I know what your going through. I worked out saturday for about 40 min, had hardly anything to eat and then went to a pizza and salad bar place, I gained 2 lbs, and I didn't even feel like I ate that much, so instead of being 6lbs from my goal this month, I am 8!! Not a good feeling. I have slacked off this week too, I don't know why but I have no motivation. I think the key is to just do it even though you don't feel like it, or not even give yourself a choice... You not alone, good luck, I know you can do it!
You need to go into it realizing it's a bit of a vacation and now you're home and like now you have to make your own beds, you now need to count points. It's just a part of your regular life that you enjoyed being away from...

I think it may be part of the season. I was working out & eating right all through Christmas, but since school started again, it's really been hit or miss.
I am trying to get motivated RIGHT here. I read blogs and talk with others who are struggling. I try not to beat myself up and commit to do better tomorrow.
Thanks for sharing - I'm excited to see what you're up to.
