Coffee Talk - I give up April

So, April  pretty much is the icing on the poop cake. Or the fly on the poop cake. It's been a fail. There was no weigh in last week. There should have been but when I went to step on the scale I realized my battery died. Great. I have owned the damn thing for about a month and the battery dies. It isn't like I even weigh myself that often. So I gave up and didn't even do photos for a progress post.

I hate April. It's been chalked full of awful and I am ready for May. Not to mention that the weather has just sucked. Snow storm after snow storm with hardly a bit of warmth in sight. Apparently we are going to get out of the 30's and hit 70 this weekend. I am not holding my breath.

This seasonal depression has got to go. I have zero motivation for anything. I don't want to work out. I don't want to eat. I don't want to work. I don't want to do a thing. This is all on top of the other stressers this month has brought. Seriously. I'm just over it.

I'm ready to workout in the warmth of the sun. Go running, walking BE OUTSIDE WITHOUT WEARING A PARKA! It is horribly depressing waking up to see 6+ inches of snow on the ground while I see everyone on FB posting pictures of the trees blooming and their flowers growing.

This what it looked like yesterday morning when I woke up. Thankfully because we have GIANT trees in our front yard we don't get a ton in the front. I try to avoid looking in the backyard where the snow piles up and never leaves.

I am TRYING to motivate myself. It's not working very well, but trying is better than not so I just need to push forward. I finally bought batteries for my scale...but I haven't put them in yet. I did a photoshoot with my kids yesterday to try and lift my spirits. It worked for a short time. I mean, the results were ADORABLE!

But sadly, looking outside just ruined it all.

I should put up little notes around my house to help me stay motivated and to stay positive. I hate to be such a Debbie Downer but thankfully, it isn't just me. I swear Minnesota is in a deep state of depression because of the weather. I hate that other people are feeling this way, but I feel better knowing that it isn't just me being the Mayor of Crazytown, USA.

Blah! Just bring on the sunshine and warm weather to brighten my spirits & light a fire under my bum to get motivated!!
