This lack of motivation has been kind of creeping up on me for the past week or two. Whenever it comes time to go to the gym to lift I find myself feeling mentally and physically drained. When the weather has been nice I have found the motivation to run outside, but to me, running isn't terribly mentally draining as I tend not to have to focus so much.
One of the possible causes for the drain could be that I work out at different times now, and I workout at different times of the day depending on what day of the week.
I used to consistently work out in the mornings. During the week (Tues/Thurs) it was between 7:30-8 start time, while on the weekends (Sat/Sun) I slept in a bit and started around 9 am.

Now my schedule is:
Toss-up Tuesday: Sometimes it's at 8 am, more often it's during lunchtime, but also sometimes if I'm busy it's after dinner with Ryan.
PM Thursday: Typically I've been going to the new (non-Duke) gym after dinner with Ryan on back day.
AM Saturday: We have been going to the new gym on Saturdays, but usually around 10 -- not quite as early as we used to head to Duke.
AM Sunday: I actually haven't done my past 2 leg workouts. One I replaced with a nice run around the golf course and a walk with the pups. The other I just didn't do much. See? Lack of motivation.
I'm not quite sure what to do about this other than just plug through it. Maybe change up my workouts a bit? If I figure it out, I'll be sure to post!
