Struggling

I'm in a funky mood today.  I hate dwelling on the negative things but the truth is today I'm struggling with my attitude.  Last night I was again feeling so tired by 8 o'clock.  So I went to bed and still go woken up by the alarm buzzing at 5.  I've never been a long sleeper.  Getting 7 hours of sleep a night was what I considered a good night for me so this is feeling very foreign to me.
.
I wasn't feeling like working out.  I had planned on adding the Ab training to my 10-Minute Trainer but was just dragging!  But like Mandy also says "just press play".  So I did.  I'm glad I did but I just couldn't wait for it to be over.  I was dragging through the exercises, thinking that I don't seem to be getting stronger - feels like I'm still at the same level I started at 2 weeks ago - which is a downer.
.
All this after the great day I had yesterday is just depressing!  My attitude also affected my eating this morning.  It's crazy the way those two are so tied together!
.
So what can I do about it?

1. Keep telling myself that this too shall pass
2. DO NOT let my own bad attitude de-rail my progress
3. Look forward to better days
4. Anticipate my morning walk, remembering the rush and the sense of accomplishment that I get from pushing up those hills
5. DO NOT sit and mope ~ keep busy!
6. Think about what is positive in my life - no matter how small or insignificant they may seem
