I just can't seem to get my arse in gear! I've found being a mum for the first time (DD is 24 wks) challenging to say the least - knew I would because I'm someone who needs people around me a lot of the time so being in the company of just a baby was always going to be difficult. Most of the time I'm fine, I go to groups, visit NCT girls and other friends etc.... however I seem to be fighting a battle against mental slump all the time, and this week feels particularly hard, no doubt because we've just come back from holiday with my parents which was lovely.
The thing that's making me hate myself the most is my lack of motivation to get fit and lose some weight. About 6 weeks ago DH devised a running training plan for me which has an end goal of a certain distance in a particular time. I loved it to start with - not the training itself but the feeling afterwards - but I'm the last couple of weeks it's all tailed off and I can't seem to get myself motivated again. I'm just feel so knackered all the time (dd is only up once in the night so I can't use that as an excuse) and I can't find the motivation to do anything but eat toast!
Just re-reading this is annoying me - what a whinger! Sorry, just feeling a bit sorry for myself - how can I get some motivation and stop being such a wet blanket?!
