Ghoulies it's confession time
My DNF and the heart problems I had back in the fall really rattled me. I've put on a bunch of weight. I'm beating myself up for putting on the weight. I can't get back in a rhythm with working out. I'm beating myself up because I'm not working out. I just can't get my head in the game again. ![](https://beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/images/emoticons/frown.gif)
I want to lose weight. I want to work out. I just can't make myself do it.

Ann, First order of business: {{{{{HUGS}}}}}Second, hold your hand out so I can slap it. (Slap). NO MORE BEATING YOURSELF UP.
This is changeable! I am in the same boat. Little steps! Don't try to do it all at one time. Do you want to run? Do you want to bike? Swim? strenght train? yoga? Pick one a week and set an easy goal and do it. Even if it is an easy goal, if you set it, try for it and do it, you have made a mental note that says "Yep, I can do this".
Let's do it together! I have a loooonnngg way to to go, but I have no choice but to do it. A lot of the days I figure I am a fraud, it is too difficult and I need to just throw in the towel. Then I say, no way and keep at the Hippo-b-gone program.
Thanks Robin.
I DO want to run. I DO want to bike. I DO want to swim. I DO want to strength train. I DO want to do yoga. I felt better when I was doing. I miss doing it. I think about doing it all the time. I just can't get myself moving. The only thing I can't do right now is swim because of the never clearing ear infection, but I have absolutely no excuse for not doing anything else.
I am taking the kids to their Wednesday night thing in town tonight. I'm planning on going to the college and working out until time to go get them.
