Pity Party

I'm putting on my special boot. . .

Make yourself exercise. I promise, you WILL feel better afterwards.

It is the lack of sunshine that makes the carb cravings (throw in a tiny amount of hormones and oh my lord...)

Tell yourself that if after 10 minutes you still want to quit, you can. I'd bet big money (if I had it ) that you won't quit after 10 minutes.
:flowerforyou:

Try one of those 100 calorie packs and something hot and sugar-free! Then go for a walk!

I know how you feel. It is 9 degrees here. I dont have a window in the house that isn't covered halfway up with snow. We had an ice storm on Wed. Power was out all over the place. And I am just plain sick of winter. SOOOOOO to top it all off we took a ride to the campground where we spend our summers and our camper had three feet of snow on the roof. The deck had snow halfway up the door. It was a sight. I was happy to come home to my warm home. AND I lost a pound this week! So I guess what I am trying to say here isDONT let the weather get you down. Have a wonderful rest of the day....

Okay...I need a swift kick in the a**!

Woke up this morning at 4 a.m. because I couldn't sleep anymore, it's a whooping 8 degrees outside with no sunshine yet, and I'm craving carbs which I thought I had under control. Normally I do great with exercising but there is nothing about this day so far that is inspiring me to even do my cardio let alone any weight lifting :yawn:

Motivation or inspiration from anyone.....would so much be appreciated :frown:

Thanks!:flowerforyou:

try it this way...I WOKE UP!!! and was given enough time this morning by getting up early to be grateful for some alone time. I drank a warm cup of tea, in my cozy home, cared and loved, in the presence of my family. There is food in my home, I am surrounded by choices...after this tea, maybe I will stretch a little to some music I love, then read a book on something I am interested in. I have time, because I WOKE UP and was granted a 'free me' morning. maybe I will think up a new healthy recipe and while it is baking or rising or whatever it needs to do, I will do a few lunges. maybe a push up or two against the counter top. maybe reach up over my head an extra time to get the coffee. now a break, smelling the delicious scent of my new creation, one I know is healthy and will keep me well. well, its 5 am now and the wonderful breakfast treat I created is warm from the oven, my tea is fresh and I think I will sit quietly for a few moments an enjoy this time of mine. aaaaaahhhhh, now, my spirit is refreshed, I am content, stretched and ready for the rest of the morning......because I WOKE UP. and that is the gift of each new day, there, now, go take a vitamin c and d and hike your rump out to the sidewalk and get busy. :happy:

I like the way you think!
