That's ok, moan away, that's why we are here, to support each ohter. And I find, that when I moan and let it out, it feels a bit better rather then just bottle it up. You had a bad week and that's ok, you will learn from it. We all have bad days. Some more then others. I find the end of a year very depressing. It's always rains here (I live in England) and it's really grey and just the type of day, that makes you want to stay hibernated.

I hope you will have better days to come and get back to normal. Depression is not a nice thing and it really makes you just give up and feel so tired and drained even if you are not doing anything. Good luck.

I don't know if this helps or not (am also in England by the way). Motivation, I find waxes and wanes when you're goal or goals seems unlikely or impossible. Maybe you need to look at what you have achieved so far, set a new (mini) target and also set yourself a little challenge of something different. This might be something like join a library and find out how to build a wall, or it might be to save for a holiday or write a short story. In my case I was 1.5 stone overweight, loved bits of my life and didn't like others so much. By setting myself a goal of losing half a stone I then kept going. Also the stairs at work are a lot less work than they were. Will I ever get a six pack belly? - I doubt it so if I set myself a goal like that I'd probably fail. People who go to Gyms would probably tell me the belly thing is in reach but it doesn't feel like it.

Anyway achieving goals is one sure way to motivate yourself.

I'm fitter than I was ...... is an achievement. I didn't get a six pack belly yet just sounds like a failure.

I think some "mini-goals" will help you stay motivated. They help me take one day at a time. Trying adding one veggie to each meal or drinking an extra glass of water or working up to another 15 min of working out a week. Little goals that you can hit each day to remind you how well you are doing at changing your habits. Don't be too hard on yourself, this is a process.
