Day 24: Push Past The Winter Blues.

It is winter. It is cold. Everyone is getting sick. The fire is going at home. How easy would it be to just stay at home, miss that CrossFit session and eat some comfort food? TOO EASY I say! 'If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you'. So put those shoes on, step out the door and face the challenge. After that come home and eat a nutritious meal packed with protein and vegetables and feel very proud of yourself.

Winter is a hard time of the year for even the most motivated people you know. Every cold evening I try to talk myself out of going to CrossFit and mornings I will try to find any excuse. Then I remind myself excuses don't get results. Winter is temporary! If you can get through the winter blues with a consistent healthy diet and regular exercise you can get through anything!

Over the next two days I am having light training days. I am feeling sore and exhausted and need to recharge. So I had a technique session tonight on snatches and I will do power yoga tomorrow at 6am.
