Typical Winter Motiviation…or Lack Thereof

My motivation for working out is close to nil. It is typical this time of year to feel this way. The weather is cooler (finally!) and well, I would rather veg out on my butt and eat cookies! Exercise seems to take a back seat with the Holidays in full swing. It is ironic that the time of year when calorie-laden food is at a surplus and stress is abundant that it is also the time of year when I feel like hibernating and being lazy.

So, instead of berating myself for not upping the exercise ante, and in fact doing less, I vow to try something new and revolutionary. Okay, not revolutionary but new for me: I will do my best. Yup, that is it. I will try to keep exercising three times a week even if it is just going for a walk. Christmas lights are beautiful so a walk around the neighborhood after dinner would be enjoyable. I will also park at the end of a parking lot at the stores. Add in exercise to where the Laziness taking over my body will not feel compromised or cheated . I can do that!

Now, pass me a cookie and hot cocoa, please!
