No doubt this has been a very difficult winter! The snow, the ice, the frigid temperatures....all allow for many excuses of not sticking to an exercise regime and not eating as clean as I usually do. I have admittedly fallen victim to these excuses and my once familiar routine has now become haphazard at best. And I've noticed the difference - not only in putting on a few extra pounds, but in feeling less energetic, in loss of strength and endurance and loss of flexibility. Can you relate to these same symptoms? Answer a few basic questions: what is the cost to you if you aren't making healthy eating choices or not having any physical activity? Are you feeling sluggish and fatigued? Are your pants a little more snug in the waistline? And then ask yourself what would be the benefit of eating more healthy and being more active? I vow to get back on track....how about you? I suggest you write the answers to these questions down and then make a committment to yourself - in writing - of the strategies you will use to get back on track. Get ready, set, GO! Beth
