Letdown!

I am one of those people who always experiences a bit of a letdown after Christmas--all the excitement is over and the visiting of families and it's a downhill slide to BLAH!

This year especially I am worrying about keeping my own physical strides towards being a healthier person. During Christmas I eat too much of all the wrong things and I don't exercise enough. I was counting on my rehab sessions to help and then the physical therapist cancelled me for a whole week, when I go back for one session, and then not again for 5 days. That's not a lot of help for me.

I'm not a self-motivated exerciser. The word athlete has never been applied in reference to me at any time. I labored down the steps to the basement to check on the old exercise bike (Can you tell I'm feeling desparate?) but it needs a new pin in the seat. Yes, I can go buy one but I couldn't convince myself to do it today. Today is one of those days where I can't get warm and I huddled on the couch with a blanket. Of course if I were excercising, I might be warmer. Hmmm.

I went back to Weight Watchers two days before Christmas and they had the nerve to change everything while I was gone for six weeks. At least I had a note from my doctor and didn't have to pay for the weeks I missed. I'm glad I went back but doubt that I'll be posting a loss on my next visit.

I'm sure I'll pull it all together and have no intentions of sliding into a deep, dark depression. The days are getting longer, it's not snowing here except for the occasional lazy flake, and I am going out to dinner tomorrow night. It will all be well!
