Cold and Alone

It's winter here and it's making it harder to work out. Cold weather just makes me sad. And I have no motivation to actually work out. And I don't get much support from family and some friends. So I was hoping I'd meet some people on here are going through what I am too and could help each other out! :)

    I know how you feel. I have 2 feet of snow in my yard and its depressing. But keep exercising because it'll help you feel better and on the good days, get outside and go for a walk!

    It's a good way of exercising - try and dig out the snow as fast as you can. I just kept shifting the pile round my yard for three weeks running.

    :smile: Cheer up chica! I know how you feel. I generally like to run outside, but it has been just too cold. Hit me up on email if you need to talk.

    Don't get discouraged! Get out and play in the snow, build a snowman, if you don't have a dog, borrow one! Have fun! Stay within your calories and you will lose....guaranteed!

    I miss the warm sunshine too! Find some fun workout DVDs or make up your own routine to your choice of tunes. Staying active will at least keep you warm :)

    You will feel much better if you work out. I am ready for spring time.

    Really cold today. In the negatives.....brrr! I really needed cardio though. I thought I would do my stairs, just the ones in the foyer. 15 minutes would be enough. Ha! I thought it would be easy. I had set the kitchen timer and half way through I thought I would never make it........but I did.....PHEW!

    I know! I'm totally sick of snow, even though we don't have that much of a pile up here in central PA. All I have time for is shovelling and snow-throwing it. I don't have time for fun and games with it.:-( I wish I could make snowmen and go sledding....*sigh* Oh to be a kid again! It only makes me want to curl up on the couch with a load of blankets, rather than go out in it to the gym.
