I’m still on vacation in Florida and I’m having a “fat-day”… I’m not being crazy because my clothes fit tighter and I have gained about 6 pounds. It’s a mess. My confidence level has plummeted out of control and I don’t know how to stop feeling this way. I know that when I get back home, it will get back to normal but for now, I am sitting here with these horrible negative thoughts. I think I must be doing something wrong…maybe I’m eating more calories than I burn. It doesn’t seem possible but I can’t think of another explanation. When I get home, I will have to revise my diet plan and maybe add even more cardio, maybe more running,…something.
This feeling is not a fun one. I had a shoot today as you can see and although it was a lot of fun, nothing feels worse than not being happy with yourself. I know I am having an off day, or off week, but it’s the truth and I try to keep my blog close to that. Other than all my negative self-talk, I have been having such a great vacation visiting my best friend and playing on the beach, visiting Key West, and having morning runs and chasing around Iguanas. I love the weather here and the warm ocean water. I could get used to this. It would be nice to have a career where I could blog/online train fulltime where I could live anywhere and make money. The second I get home, I am doing nothing but studying to get certified and get a move on with getting into the fitness world!
At least vacation has been amazing.
i needed the relaxation.
I can’t believe fat is in your vocabulary. You look great. You said it yourself, it is all about how you feel about yourself. It does not matter what I think. The beach looks so inviting. I am glad you are having a great vacation.

First of all. You look skinny, fit, and fabulous. So you really have nothing to worry about…. however, whenever I have gained 5-6 lbs I always check my body fat percentage instead of stressing about how much I way. Sometimes because of muscle mass or water weight you can weigh a little more… but your body fat percentage reading tells you the truth about the fat in your body. If you are 18% or below you are in an athletic zone… so I always shoot for that.

I wouldn’t sweat it too much…you still look amazing. but I’ve been negative thinking myself to death lately so I know how you feel. shoulder injuries have limited my workouts and my diet has been better…talk about frustration! remember…rest is just as important, if not more important, as diet and exercise in attaining your fitness goals…be sure not to over-do it!

thanks a lot for your comment hun. It mde me feel better because i realize that no matter how in shape we all are, we still have those moments where we let go and feel like we’re behind. My perfectionism got a hold of me and when that happens, i tend to stress and over eat. I’m home in Seattle now and doing better so hopefully my mood will lift! I’m sorry about your shoulder injuries. I have on-and-off knee problems and i know how it feels to be frustrated from the limitations. I hope things get better for you as well!!!
