NWR- Winter Laziness?

rswan412

It's been pretty quiet around here lately!

So it seems that, as soon as winter comes, and it's christmas time and dark and cold, any control I have over not eating junk and trying to excersise goes out the window. To be honest, it makes me feel pretty crappy about myself., last year I literally gained 10 lbs between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I know I should be nice to myself and give myself some leeway, but at one point am I just enabling myself to be unhealthy? Does this happen to anyone else in the winter?

I'm meeting with a nutritionist Saturday (YAY!). Hopefully she can help get me back on track. I was told not to gain/lose any weight before my wedding because my dress is a perfect fit now and all I would need is a hem, but man if I keep going like this I'm going to be about 20 lbs heavier! Grrr....MOTIVATION WHERE ARE YOU?!

i hear you! I keep saying I need to tone up/lose a few pounds for the wedding, and just keep putting it off. Now that we're like 6 months away, I'm realizing I really need to start getting on that! I've been pretty good this week; exercising a little each day and trying to eat better (although I gave in & bought Ben & Jerry's last weekend...it was on sale, and I couldn't say no to Pumpkin Cheesecake ice cream!! But I'm only letting myself have a little at a time lol)

It's definitely tougher this time of year, with all the comfort foods and holiday parties...but just remind yourself that you want to look back at your wedding day photos and think, "Damn, I looked great!" (not to mention feeling that way the day of!) All eyes will be on you... which is a scary thought, but it's motivation to look your best!

I missed going to the gym all last week and half of this week. )= The early darkness just makes it so difficult to be motivated, you know? I think it also has a lot to do with the lack of schedule at this time of year. Everything is out of wack.

I don't really have any suggestions, but did want to let you know I'm sharing in your pain.

Ah, I know the feeling! Between the craziness of work and the hecticness of the holidays I have been getting to the gym less and less. Plus as PP mentioned with the early darkness, finding whatever little motivation I might have has become even more difficult.

I am trying to motivate myself by downloading some new music only for the gym as well as having gym exclusive reading material (People, Glamour, Wedding Magazines).

It's so hard to get up early to work out when it's dark out and/or workout after work when it's dark out! I was liking the process I saw a few weeks ago and feel like I've put some weight back on. Time to channel that memory and work harder!
We can do it!
