So here I am struggling with myself because I reached that down point I read about in week 6. I did not even realize it was that until about 10 minutes ago when I took a hot shower and tried to find out what this demotivation was I suddenly felt. Actually it started yesterday with crazy cravings and I gave in. My day was filled with Mini Mars bars (a lot of them) and potatoe chips. At least I didn't have a beer with it. I also skipped my LBWO which I was convinced I would make up today until I woke up this morning. I didn't believe this would happen to me after being so motivated in the beginning. And when I first read that many people especially women give up after 6 weeks I thought: "Well, now that I know that I am prepared."
I find the meal planning very time consuming. When I think about it, it is not even so much the workouts it is the nutrition part that burns me out. I think about nothing but food the whole day.
Maybe I need a different approach. I will try to plan my meals better. Prepare food in advance and freeze it. Actually I found some great things in a bodybuilding magazine. I can adjust the portion sizes and the ingredients slightly and get a BFL perfect meal. What makes 4 portions for a male bodybuilder gives me 8 portions :-)
Anyway, the point of this post is really to let you guys know that I am struggling and maybe reach some of you out there who have the same feelings. I am not going to give in the Giving-up-demon which has found me. I am going to fight him by going to the gym right after this post and do my missed LBWO! I hope this will destroy him once and for all (I think I have been watching "Charmed" too much lately :-)).
Wish you all strength and motivation.
