It's cold here up in the frozen north! Any MN gals here? How are you all staying motivated? Winter tends to feel very long here....❄️

    I'm also from MN. I have found I have much less motivation on the colder days. ):

    This winter has been tough. Definitely lost my motivation! Lost 20 lbs last summer/fall, gained 10 back this winter.

    After the holidays it's a lot easier for me because I have less going on and I can focus on myself. I also tend to have steadier routine in the Winter months. The summer is always so hectic with work and my son that it's a lot more tempting to just grab fast food and skip working out.

    I'm also from MN! Just getting back into myfitnesspal after a break. Just joined the Y, and have been tracking food for about two weeks.

    On the plus side, the days seem to be getting longer! I'm no longer driving home from work in the dark! When it's so dark, cold and windy all I want to do is curl up on the couch and pig out watching a movie.

    I'm in the Twin Cities! It's easy to go stir crazy when it's sooooo cold. I can't wait for a weekend day above 20° so I can get outside!

    Until the weather gets a little nicer, I try to find creative (warm) ways to get some more activity in everyday. Like today, I used my lunch break to run to Sam's Club and got a few thousand steps in (weaving through the aisles like a weirdo, and not even buying anything haha).

    My mantra is : The time will pass anyway. Make it count.

    And not that it really means much in MN...but only 31 days until "Spring"! :wink:
