Snow Week

So this week winter decided to rear it's chilly head. It snowed for the better part of 4 days and yesterday the temperatures dipped to the minus twenties. Needless to say, Trent and I are suffering from some cabin fever! Trent has had a cold for the last 2 weeks, and I was feeling like I was fighting something for the last few weeks too. No wonder last week I lost all motivation and drive. But how do I power through that?
I want to make healthy living part of my every day life. I want fitness and eating well to be so ingrained, that I don't even think about it anymore. Taking a 'break' or going easy because you are sick or injured is one thing, but how can I get over the "I just don't feel up to exercising" slump?? Last week I wasn't injured. I wasn't really sick; I was just feeling like I was getting sick. I wasn't completely over-tired, I wasn't cramping, I wasn't achy. I made a choice not to work out one day. Then that choice made it easier to make the same choice the next day. I also made the choice to allow Shawn to direct our meals - fast food, mall food, pizza, snacks. I made poor choices when we were out - instead of getting a turkey sandwich on whole wheat, I opted for the greasy burger with onion ring. ONION RINGS?! Why did I make the poor choices? Because I was feeling guilty and setback and like the week was a write off. It really didn't have to be a write off. But I broke the cycle of wellness and abused my body. Sorry Jiggley Mommy!
Last week is in the past now, time to move forward. I finished all 4 workouts this week. That feels good. I may try to catch up another workout tomorrow. I may have to do another workout tomorrow morning because I'm planning on going out for dinner tonight. My favorite restraunt calls to me with it's alfredo sauce! I should be done the MW challenge by the first week in December. Perfect timing for the release of Christmas baking! Don't give up! Don't give in! There are two primary choices in life; to accept conditions as they exit, or accept the responsibility for changing them. Mission accepted.
