Lack of Motivation?
misprize \mis-PRYZ\, transitive verb:
1. To hold in contempt.
2. To undervalue.
I think I am misprizing my abilities to gain muscle.
Truly. I am experiencing a total lack of motivation combined with exhaustion. What’s going on? Yesterday all I wanted to do was sleep and lay around. It was a cold rainy day, but I just couldn’t snap out of it. Today I still feel lethargic with maybe a bit of a cold coming on. I’m trying to eat clean, but that often goes out the window along with a couple of cookies. My kids have ½ day of school today and no school tomorrow b/c of conferences so there’s no going to the gym (kids under 14 aren’t allowed) but I do have just about everything I need in the basement. So clearly there’s no excuse for not doing something - except this lack of energy and motivation. Is it my body telling me I over did it with my upper body w/o Monday? I still ache. Darn DOMS! Then I think it’s “depression” over the fact I’m not getting my personal training business off the ground due to lack of funds. And I don’t want to take out a bank loan or put stuff on a credit card. (Man, I’m awfully whiny!)
OK, so I’m off to the store for a couple of things and to swing by the office to send out an invoice (I work for the family construction business part-time.) then pick up the 5th grader at noon.
Have a great morning! Monica

Time to start moving forwards in the areas that mean the most to you. Make sure there’s time in your schedule for your workout, the endorphins will give you a boost. You hope to train others, look out for yourself first. Good luck with all of your juggling. Keep moving forwards, and enjoy your journey.

Sometime the start of this new season just brings it on….SAD, seanonal affective disorder. Cold, rainy weather, darker days…brings on the feeling of wanting cozy foods and sleepy days.
Good advice from our fellow BBrs!
One day at a time….
take care friend!
