Who’s Ready for Spring?

I'm at that point where I am so ready for Spring and warmer weather! How about you?

I'm ready to shed the winter coat and scarf and go for a hike in a nearby nature preserve! I'm ready for sunny days and clear roads! I'm ready for longer days and no salt on my car! I'm ready to turn off the furnace and open the windows!

It's true! Dark, cold weather really can bring you down after a while. Not particularly helpful when trying to exercise early in the morning and avoid all the refined carbs either!

It's been below freezing here the past week, and the cold, dark mornings are zapping my motivation to get up early for a workout. I'd rather stay in bed and cuddle up next to my husband. Yet I feel the twinges of guilt if I miss too many workouts! I don't want to lose my routine!

'Sigh' Well! Enough of my griping! (It did feel good to let that out a bit, though.) :) Spring will be here in a few, short weeks. I can certainly hang on until then.

And I can say this: the positive side to a long winter is I will appreciate the warm, sunny days a lot more!
