I SUCK...

Hi Nina, when I had my active day rests for almost a week (last week) due to my lower back pain, I did feel like I started to slack off on working out and it did take a mental will to actually not to slack off on my diet as well. But at the same time, you might notice I wasn't too creative with the food that I did haha thus the lack of new recipes. Anyway, today I am happy to be back bodyrocking regularly and I'm looking forward to it. Gave my body enough rest actually paid it off. Also I agree not to set your goal too high so you won't feel frustrated if you can't achieve it.

Life does happen. Even for me now, I'm still figuring out what exactly I wanna do for my life.

I am glad your lower back is okay now, so is my whole body again :D I started to slack because I really didnt have time and I continued to slack because it was so easy to slack... bah! I hate it. But I am over it and back in the game again. Helpful people around are always a plus.
I still thing you post amazing stuff, I love reading through it and trying different things. I hope moving to another city will bring me closer to different ingrediences I can use to cook :)
Good luck with your life and job, Jos, greetings to you and Hubby K!

Hello Nina! I follow BodyRock too, that's where I know you from. I do all the workouts and everything but I never write to the site, so you probably have no idea that I exist. But the weird thing is I have been reading your comments and seeing your process (even in your personal life) and so on. (Weird isn't it?) :)
Well to come to the point, I know exactly how this is, THIS is what I'm struggling as well, and it is like a never ending chain reaction, if you start eating bad, you can't find energy to exercise and when you don't exercise, you get so angry and frustrated at yourself so you find yourself eating bad again! You say: Oh crap, whatever I'll take that bag of cookies in me, I'm worthless anyway, look at me I couldn't even exercise today! That's how it goes for me sometimes. And I feel really reaallly I mean REALLY disappointed at myself, being very harsh at myself and punish myself after these kind of events. I start making promises with myself and saying "Okay, tomorrow I'll be a really good girl etc." AND it becomes WORSE! The only thing I can say to you is what my boyfriend says to me: You are setting your goals too high, and when you can't find time/energy or etc. You feel like a loser. Don't do that, especially when you are trying to come back to your old routine, or have some special occasion (like extra work hours etc.) just take small steps. When you try to jump into it with full throttle, it just pushes you back.
These were the exact words that my boyfriend told me, and it really helped me. I still do some slacking/eat wrong sometimes but then I try not to punish myself or care about it so much, it was a mistake I did, but I don't care I'm aweasome anyway. Then I find myself pushed from the bed and doing ridiculous amounts of zuzana workouts :) Sometimes our minds and consciouses are our worst enemy.

Hope this helps!
Hugs

ps. I sent this comment twice, because I'm not sure if I was able to send it (No skills in czech :)))) )

Hi Ayca!!! Thank you so much for your comment, say hi to your boyfriend, he is a smart man!!! :) He is probably right with setting goals too high. My problems also is that I set SO MANY goals at the same time. I am now at the point where I try to figure out so many things at once (job, to move or not to move away, usual stuff that people go through when starting a brand new life), and I tend to TRY TO DO MY BEST in all of that. Which is simply not possible, I am not a superhuman as my grandpa thinks :) But I think that realizing all my "problems" is a part of the solution.
