Takin’ Out the Trash!

I am more change averse than the average bear. I am very much a creature of habit, and I love consistency as much as any 3 year old. These past couple of weeks (including this weekend) really haven’t been all that hot. Yes, part of it has been the changes (hubby out of town, losing my workout partner, time change, weather getting colder). And I tend to get kinda down this time of year. I love fall, but despise winter, so I tend to get a little depressed when I have to turn on the heat.

It’s okay to get down, it’s okay to let your program slide for a bit, but then it’s time to “take out the trash.” Get the crap back out of your diet before it can claim permanent resident status. Get back on the treadmill before you forget how to find the gym. Don’t wanna? That’s okay. Validate your feelings, give yourself a hug, and then go do it anyway. I always feel good taking that first step back into the wagon.

Looking around blogdom, I don’t seem to be the only person who has had trouble with their fitness regime and/or their food habits lately. Guess I’m a card carrying member of the human race. Weigh in is this Friday – hopefully I won’t have slipped more than a pound or two.
