Very cold weather=complete lack of motivation

It's true! It has been frigid the past couple if days, and I have not wanted to do anything. I have been wanting comfort foods and decided to take a couple days off of activity. Sunday I wanted a rest day for the week. Yesterday, my stomach was bothering me for some reason. So I didn't do my Zumba either last night. So no wonder I am either keeping or gaining weight. My body wants to keep this fat to keep me warm. So how do I get my motivation back?

I am still goaled (I know that's not a word) to do the Zumbathon in February. And I made a new goal for myself on Sunday. There is this bracelet called UP that helps track your activity level, food intake, and sleep patterns. There is more, but hat is what I am remembering. If you have heard about it, let me know whether bad or good. My goal is if I can stay active for 3 months and lose at least 10 pounds, I will get this bracelet. And of curse the past couple of days probably don't help me.

I also don't think I am sleeping well. Our house is being weird. Downstairs is frigid. While upstairs is a sauna. We keep our house at a out 72. But at night I turn it down. Because I can't sleep when it's hot. And we even closed all the vents upstairs so that all the heat will go downstairs first. But it's not doing that. There is an actual point on our stairs that if you take one step it's either a wall of heat or a wall of cold. I put a heater downstairs to see if that will help at all.

So anyway, I need to get my motivation back! Like pronto! This cold doesn't help and I need to come up with a way to overcome this issue.

On a side note....the Zumbathon is just a few weeks away. I have ordered the bracelets that you get if you either buy a ticket to go to the event, or donate $10 or more if you can't come to the event. Please please please! Even if you can't come, make a donation. It doesn't have to be $10. It can be whatever you can give. I made my goal to $500, and have yet to get anything towards that goal. This is a great cause! People with ALS are unable to a lot of the things we can do. Even if you have some type of physical ailment. Whether its back problems or knee problems, etc. you can still do more that these people. I want to help. And I hope that I have friends who feel the same way. I know times are tough. And that jobs are hard to come buy. But think of the greater "emotional" reward you will be getting by just sending a couple of dollars! Okay, I kind of went on a tangent. I do not mean to offend anyone if I have. I am just eager to make this first Zumbaton a success. Because if this one is successful, I will be doing another one in July to raise money for peoe with brain Cancer. No only does my SFIL have it. But I also lost a dear friend to it last year. I have seen what his can do to people, and I want to help. And of course I can Zumba at the same time, you bet your ass I will do it!
