| Do you feel that outside temperature affects your eating habits? |
Yes  73.8% |
| Hmm - I'm not sure 12.1% |
| No 14.0% |
This was in interesting question on weather.com of all places. I was checking what the weather was like outside today because I've been trying to force myself to go outside and run after work, and this happened to be on the main page when I punched in my zipcode.
It seems to be going around - and perhaps there's a lot more to it. Billy had mentioned the season changes affecting his mood lately, and it seems like the Coalition in general is running in a low gear. We've been slow as a group in terms of comments, replies and even blog posts - and it doesn't seem like we've got that fire that we've had in the past as a team.
I've been eating well, but my workouts have been less than stellar. In the past, I may have chalked it up to "look at this survey.. EVERYONE is gloomy, it's not just me". In the past, I would have used that as an excuse.
Look yourself in the mirror. Are you doing EVERYTHING you can do to lose this weight? Are you motivated and excited about it? Do you see yourself at your goal weight in the future and just get giddy?
I don't either.
But I fight through it. What about you?

Fighting the good fight is all you can do. The weather sucks. So does having to DRIVE to the mall so that I can WALK. But all we can do is suck it up and drive on. After all, it's only five months until April!
wait until January. Everyone and their mother will be starting a fat loss blog then!
I saw a stat that said that 95% of people who start losing weight in January quit.
I want the other 5%.
I wrote myself a letter on my Birthday last month. It was sort of a "day in the life" but the only difference is that it is a "day in the life" on my next Birthday, 2008. I project the clothes I am wearing, the strentgh I have gained, the back pain having gone away, etc. I try to read it daily.
So yes, I am motivated and excited about the next year. I do see myself walking around shirtless at the beach and loving it!
I've posted this in a reply earlier, but it bears repeating:
[Luke:] I can’t believe it.
[Yoda:] That is why you fail.
Rob, FAT is the other 5%.... Keep getting ur done!
I wonder if part of the lack of fire is that so many people are in the end stages of weight loss - 20 lbs or less to go. Perhaps a 'reach your goal' challenge will put some life back in. I dunno...
