Winter Challenges

Oh my - how the old habits of winter months tug at me strongly! Winter, for me is about reading good books, sipping on something hot, which sometimes means hot chocolate and all this while having a nice soft and warm afghan wrapped around me and music in the background.

I am finding it a bit challenging to create new healthy and fit habits in place of these comfort habits. I have to thank my husband, Mark, yesterday for asking me when I was going to exercise - I was actually considering not - his question prompted me to take the step to get into my exercise clothes and get on the elliptical. I may need to ask him for more prompting until this becomes more natural. I still haven't exercised yet today.

I hadn't realized how much this seasonal change would throw me a curve ball. I do know that I'm still eating healthier, tho I did have a couple of small pieces of pizza the other night along with a nice spinach salad. I just find myself not as motivated to move.

Looking forward to our call tomorrow night to get that fire burning a bit more brightly under my feet!

Love you all,
Gerri
