I hate when, for no reason at all, the same amount of effort all of a sudden is not producing the same results. It's so hard not to say "the heck with it" and give up! I think it's awesome that you're sticking with it through the "blahs." They'll probably go away again as mysteriously as they came. I think hanging in there when things get tough is really hard!

Sometimes we forget that comparing ourselves to others isn't the only way to throw a wrench in our progress. Sometimes we have a tendency to compare ourselves to ourselves without considering the variables. I, too am guilty of this mindset. Every day bring with it a set of challenges. We've got to stay present and stay on track.

I am kind of excited because I started my weight loss journey on the same ideas - eat whatever you want - as long as its within calorie range. :) Honestly, it is the only way I could have started this out. Congrats on your 20lbs gone! I am so impressed! :) Just found your blog, and read your About Me!

I haven't felt like cooking all week, so I just told myself for every meal, choose a protein, and a fruit or vegetable. The end. Some weeks I'm all amped and feeling badass. Some are just blah.

Nothing wrong with being on auto pilot sometimes as long as you still reach your destination. It may have been a difficult ride, but you finished it, right?

The bad news is some weeks it's just HARDER. For no reason. At all. You're doing all the right things, getting sleep, eating well, feeling fine physically, but mentally? BLECH. The good news is that it's not every week. As long as you slog through it. It's definitely something I learned training for the half marathon. Some runs are exhilarating. Some runs are excruciating. Some start out good and you end up limping home early. Some you barely get out the door and you come back feeling great. Some you just put in the time and it's so so. But once you get to the starting line - no, once you get to about mile 8, you're glad you put in every one of those miles no matter how awesome or terrible they were.
