Lynda,
I don't know what happens but I think sometimes it's hard to keep with it, not having the enthusiasm I had in the beginning but I think we are incorporating more of these things into our lives than we realize. Sometimes I think we have to do things in a little different way. One source of support can be is the email devotions to help motivate and talk about issues we are struggling with.

Get through it
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the other side of the challenge is value. Get through it,
and get the value.
Though the effort makes you weary, it also makes you strong.
Get through it, and enjoy the full benefit of that strength.
You've already made it this far, and you've already
established some good momentum. To get through it, just keep
going.
Keep going, though the urge to quit may be strong. Keep
going, get through it and get the rewards you've earned.
Get through it, not by fighting but by accepting and
persisting in each moment. Get through it, not with
resentment for what you must do but with gratitude for what
you can accomplish.
You have what it takes, because what it takes is simply
making one step, and then the next, and then the next. Step
forward, get through it, and bring your own unique value
more fully to life.
Ralph Marston

Personally I've been struggling with not feeling well for about the last month but now feeling a lot better. One day I got really depressed and wondered if this way doing me any good at all and I realized that I have made progress and do look at things differently so I got back into the compassionate self talk and realized I can't stop what I've started. And what am I really trying to accomplish, a better self and outlook. So what if I'm not taking on huge challenges I'm making progress and small steps lead to bigger steps. Spring time for me has always been somewhat difficult, and have no idea why. I love all the green and color but something about it I notice April has always been challenging for me. I think sometimes it has to do with all the changes all at once, I guess I deal with change better if it happens slowly. I guess that way I can handle it better. But I know I'm doing better this year than I have in previous years due to the program. I was just always drifting. We just have to not give up on ourselves, and we can't lose. Take care and don't lose heart you will get the motivation you need to keep going. I think were all on a very interesting journey but sometimes we feel like we are not moving at all. Wishing you all well we will get there.
