What to do, what to do…
Well, my weight loss is and has been at a stand still for a couple months–at least. For whatever reason (there are plenty of "reasons" I’m sure) I’ve lost my desire to do what is right for my body. I’ve lost the drive to work out…I think my body has gone into hibernation mode since the cold hit. At -40 who wants to go for a walk??? lol But with eating, sleeping and lying around the house like some kind of sloth….I’m starting to look like one too. lol Its not too pretty.
But THANK GOD the weather is warming up and the sun is shining more each day!
This winter has been a bit of a struggle. For years I’ve "dealt" with my dysthymia by just taking medication and thinking that was going to be good enough. Well, I decided to go a more natural route this year and stopped taking antidepressants (gradually of course)…In retrospect, it might have been a better idea to put that off until summer. Going without Lexapro this winter was a little rough. There’s definitely a seasonal element to my depression….
But the important thing was that I made it. Winter is almost over, with the long, dark days almost a thing of the past….It can only get better from here!
I’m hoping with the warmer weather, I’ll stop eating so much "comfort food" and will get my energy back. That’s been a HUGE issue for me the last few months. I just haven’t been wanting to do much of anything that involves being active!
Today has been a good day though. I actually felt pretty good this morning. Got some stuff done. Plus, I wasn’t feeling moody. It was nice. Hopefully it’ll last!
