starting to lose focus

I put some weight back on, and n0ow I feel disheartened. This is kinda what happens with me - a viscious cycle. I experience success, then I slacken off a bit, then I put a bit of weight back on, then I feel disappointed, then I put MORE weight on from comfort eating. Bad cycle.


Connie's wedding is in 2 weeks and I am desperate to lose SOME weight before that. Plus the city to surf is coming up, and I'm only gonna be making the run harder for myself if I am heavier.


The last run I did was REALLY hard. I really felt like I was going to faint and/or be sick. I must be the only person on earth who can train for weeks and actually be LESS FIT than when they started. I'm going out with the school kids again today... we'll see how it goes I guess.


On an upside, I get bad bloating. No - that's not the upside!!! The upside is, I was reading about Irritable Bowel Syndrome and decided it may be why I'm feeling bloated alot. I bought some IBS Support capsules at the chemist recently just to give them a try, and I actually haven't felt bloated since I started taking them! Huh?! Maybe all that time, that was it? *fingers crossed*


I weigh-in again tomorrow - I hope I have better news for you then!


BTW - have you seen The Penguin Chronicles? It's the site for people like me (and you?) check it out. "I am a Penguin - hear me roar!". Love ya work, John!

I've been hearing a lot lately about this study, which may explain why it's harder if you're yo-yoing. I'm the WORST about this.
