Tempting Temperatures

Tuesday 17th May 2011

Now it is starting to get colder I am really starting to ramp up my exercise and healthy eating because this is the time of year that I am my own worst enemy!

I am one of these people who absolutely detests the cold.  I suffer from self diagnosed SAD which is Seasonal Affective Disorder or Winter Depression.  It's actually a condition!!  You can google it and everything!  Every winter I am quite happy to hide under a doona on the lounge with a good movie, a cup of tea and something with chocolate in it.  My whole winter is just like Bruno Mars' "The Lazy Song".

Although I feel this way on the inside, I refuse to let winter ruin my fun!  The only problem is that the extra cups of tea (or hot chocolate) wreak havoc with my waist line and my butt!  It's like a neverending cycle!  You spend all summer trying to get fit to wear a swimming costume and then spend all winter completely trashing all our work by getting cold and seeking out warmth and a little bit of chocolatey comfort!

This winter I am determined not to let it beat me!! I am swapping my lazy weekends and getting out and enjoying the limited sunny hours of the day.  I refuse to gain any winter weight!! Anyway I can't afford to.  I promised myself years ago I would not go over a certain size in my clothes and if I did I would have to go naked!  That is my way of staying disciplined.  So far it's worked!  And I can honestly say I am not planning on running around fat and naked anytime soon so your eyes are safe!! lol
