I Came thisclose to Not Working Out Yesterday...

Friday January 13, 2006
Winter can take a toll on your workouts, especially if you haven't seen the sun in awhile. Lack of sunshine can leave you feeling a little mopey, as Suzanne mentions in her Crunch Time Blog this week: "Is it the lack of sunshine?? Is it hormones? Stress? Don't know what it is, but I came thisclose to not working out yesterday."

Being in Chicago and having seen the sun exactly three (short) times in the past two and a half weeks, I can totally relate. While exercise is always a good cure for feeling down-in-the-dumps, it seems harder to get started when you're feeling so...blah.

How do you handle the winter blahs? Give Suzanne some tips or come join the discussion in the forum and give us the benefit of your winter wisdom.
