I often ran into these roadblocks around February of every year -- the same thing. Every February I would reflect, and suddenly realize I didn't like something (or everything) about my life and I'd make drastic changes.
* Lost ~80 pounds starting in February a few years back. 200->120. Hovering at a healthier weight, or so the wife says.
* A few years back, I had a consistent contest on one of my projects (hostjury.com) where we'd give out ipods once a month. I hand-delivered one of them ~6,000+ miles away, by car.
* The next year, I got a motorcycle. February.
* The next year, I moved to Vanvouer. February.
* The next year, I put ~80,000+ miles on my car. February through June. Anywhom..
* Found a wife, the next. She's put me under some new limits but we're probably moving to San Diego or *.in.cali. soon. //February, again. Uhaul is cheap ;)
There isn't anything inherently wrong with having sudden desires or your mind screaming at both your body and soul that it's in a rut. I too would highly recommend getting some exercise.
Try doing the grouse grind a few times a week. I used to live right up at the top of the mountain and would make my way up there each morning. It's a beautiful way to start the day, and is a fantastic starter workout. My time was about ~35 minutes once I got into the habit, but initially it was 1.5 hours -- so keep that in mind.
Start small. And hey, changes of scenery don't hurt either. Take a trip, wield your vacation pay. Change your personal life, your work life will follow suit.
In the meantime, eat a bit healthier & get some more exercise. Oh, and get a bicycle. Steed cycle is on the North Shore & that's where I bought mine. Put ~40miles a day on it in Vancouver and loved every minute of it.
