Riding the Struggle Bus

I have clearly been riding the struggle bus for quite some time now and I don't quite know how to tell the driver that I need to get off the bus.  Who can help me?!

I haven't been blogging, I've been slacking on working out as much, and each week I keep seeing little gains.  The good thing is that they're LITTLE gains, but they're still gains and those little ones sure add up quickly.  Part of my problem, though, is that I've not just been struggling with my weight loss, but with lots of things in my life...actually, with almost everything.  I haven't been super motivated at work (sorry boss-type people)...I'm going to Florida at the end of this week and I haven't even been super motivated to plan the weeks events! (It's a mostly work trip with a little personal time in there...)

I know that a lot of people recently have been talking about having a major lack of motivation, and I've talked before about struggling with motivation, but this just seems really excessive for me.  I've dealt with minor Seasonal Affective Disorder before (Happy Valley is very dull and grey in the winter time...), and I don't think it's that...but maybe that's a small piece of it.  I haven't felt depressed, per se, just unmotivated to do pretty much ANYTHING.

There are a few bright spots to my struggle, though. 
1. Monday I discovered that Blogger has a mobile app!  No more being constrained to being near a computer to blog...I actually started this one from my phone while I was waiting for my meeting to start.
2. The weather has been really nice recently which has helped a little with the activity motivation - I can't wait to have the time to actually go running outside!
3. I've now had three people remind me that they've noticed my lack of blogging...one even wrote me a song about it!  (Thanks, Rho! It made my day!)
4. Spring Break!!  Last week was Spring Break and I got to spend the whole week at home with the family.  That was definitely some much needed personal rejuvenation! Seeing my family, snuggling with the pups, and getting the chance to get back to Zumba really gave me a boost!
5. Speaking of Zumba...Sis and I did a Zumbathon while I was home! We Zumba'd for two hours to help benefit a very worthy cause!
6. My friend Zeke has been challenging himself to drink only water and he's gone over 40 days!  I've never been a big milk or juice drinker, but I do love some iced tea and pop! However, he has inspired me to try my own hand at a water-only lifestyle...

This post has been several days in the making...it's been way crazy around here! But I've had a great few days and I'm really hopeful that this is a good start to turning things back around! Now, I'll be in Florida for a week so I'm not sure that I'll be able to get to a meeting down there, but I'm packing workout clothes to make myself stay on track! Plus, the conference I'm attending is even offering Zumba every morning!
