Winter Days

30 Days of Blogging: Day 10

The winter is tough for getting anything done. The sun goes down too fast and doesn’t come back up fast enough. The weather is cold and rainy or snowy or icy. I would like to get some exercise in but I don’t like to go out when it’s cold and dark. When I get home, I like to make a fire to sit by and just watch TV, read a book or surf the Internet. I know it’s only a couple of months but it sometimes feels like forever. I probably eat too much, especially with no exercise, and don’t eat very good food. 

Today in class we were watching the Supersize Me movie for health class and my thoughts always dwell on how well I’m eating, exercising and staying healthy. Right now I haven’t been doing too good of a job because of the winter days. I just need to make a better effort at eating better (or not at all) and finding ways to get some exercise in. We have a treadmill that I need to get set up and I need to walk to the elementary school to pick Maya up when I can. The last few weekends, we have had leaves to rake which have been good workouts on the weekends, but it is still the in-between days that I need to be better about. My next 30-day challenge will involve some kind of exercise routine so that I can build that into my daily life.

The good news is that it is pretty easy to write in my blog when I’m sitting around just watching TV or getting warm by the fire.
