Come on Spring I'm waiting!

I sure did enjoy the warm weather we had just a few days ago and the beautiful sunshine, it made me so wish for spring. Sunshine sure has a way of boosting my mood. Not only have I been able to get a lot of things done I still found time to get on the treadmill and exercise. It just seems so much easier when the days were feeling nice and sunny.

That is a stark contrast to today. As I look out the window into a sea of white, watch the wind blow, and look over at my treadmill. I honestly have zero desire to get on it and exercise right now.  Here is a picture of the lovely thing just sitting there calling my name “Michelle, Michelle”, waiting for me to jump on and get started but I would much rather just walk away and ignore it.

Staying motivated through the winter has been hard. I know that my vitamin D level is low which can have an effect on one’s mood but there are just times I would rather curl up in the chair with one of my favorite books and not think about doing any more exercising.

Even with this motivation challenge I have, I do generally feel more energetic than I have in a long time. Even with it not showing on the scales I can tell I have a little more energy to complete everything on my list. This has helped me remember that eventually that scale will catch up to how I am feeling and looking.

Oh, and I did listen to my treadmill that day. So I went for my walk!
