Stuck in a Rut...

Alrighty...I did it. I got stuck in the hamster wheel of dieting and exercise. I started this blog with all the same "tricks of the trade" that I have used before and thought I would get a different result. I didn't realize that until Sandra pointed it out. My problem is I don't know what to do next. So I'm looking for suggestions. I think I'll go post on the www.cathe.com website too and ask opinions. I really need to do something new.

The 1/2 marathon is 'new' for me, but my knees have also been hurting lately. So I'm not sure if I can continue that form of exercise, at least not as a daily (or even 4x a week, which is what I do now). I love my kickboxing...you know, I don't think the problem is with my exercise, it is with my motivation and eating.

I just haven't found that all encompassing 'why' to keep me going. I can say it's cause I want to look great in a swimsuit, but that thought is followed with "well, I don't really go anywhere in a swimsuit and plus I can wear shorts."

I do this with all my supposed reasons. I want to lose it but I keep giving in to the excuses.

I did order the Sugar Buster's cookbook, book and shopping guide. Part because I want to eat better and part cause I'm doing the cooking in the house and my sis is diabetic, so I need to make things that are diabetic friendly. We can still eat many of the same recipes, but they have to be altered to meet diabetic criteria, that's where this book comes in. So, we'll see how that goes.

I still feel like I need a solid answer to my 'why?' question though. hmmm.....
