I was going to the gym eating well and trying to sleep well, but it has been like that this week. I've been feeling no energy to even get out of bed. I get mentally exhausted. I know I need to get up and be active but some day I can't.

Focus on doing specific tasks to get up in morning.

Keep your tasks simple to help you get moving.

Once you are moving, it is easier to keep moving.

I believe it’s ok to have an off day sometimes. We’re only human. We call them doona days here and enjoy them. Sometimes your body knows what it needs. Try not to be so hard on yourself.

You're doing good!

It's okay to not feel all energetic and happy every single day.

Set some goals for tomorrow and keep them! You can do it!

Best wishes.

Life has its ebbs and flows, Kutz. Flow with it. Allowing myself down days every now and again often seems to serve as a positive affirmation for the track I was on before I started slacking. A training cliché I like to ply to the phenom is, "Take some time off to unlearn the bad habits." In my own case, occasional time off really does seem to help me be clearer and more focused when I get back in the proverbial saddle again.

Hey kutz, I get that way too sometimes. From the other posts, it seems pretty obvious that we're not alone in that. I agree with the idea to cut yourself some slack every now and again. Over the past few years I've been trying to be more intentional in my personal life. Setting goals for myself and whatnot. One of the things that seems to bring me back is to look at those goals and do something small that moves me closer. Even revaluating the goals brings some slight relief.
Prayers friend.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    Reality Check

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
