To get this blog up to 2011 speed - lets do a quick recap. Last year this time, I was in the first month of my dream job, since then...dream job not so dreamy, was a big ol mess actually.
By June I parted ways, for an unexpected, awesome opportunity in beautiful Muskoka. Now I sit in the opportunity's office and watch the seasons first real snowfall accumulate.
And ya know, it's kinda pretty. There's more green and less brown making it almost a welcome visual.
Of course I did just finish an hour and a half work out so I may be viewing the world through endorphin ramped optics but I'll take it. Any sort of glass half full is a a good half full.
I was a little lazy getting my routine organized this year and had myself convinced as I sometimes do, that I can ignore my known 'winter rules' and just keep on rolling.
It back fired.
I crashed.
And was in midst of a spiral when by the luck of mother nature we got a couple unseasonably nice days which snapped me out of it.
Now, no bread, few carbs, easy on the alcohol, exercise, light therapy, vitamin D, B complex, and tanning. Oh and to bed early and up early. I know it sounds like a diet to loose weight...but that's not it.
However weight loss is an great side effect and considering my aforementioned crash added 10lbs, I will take any dropped pound in my favour.
I am just trying to keep myself from loathing my existence...as it's just such a great way to spend your winter (sarcasm)
I'm very grateful for that warm spell, it motivated me into action. I had meatballs and sauce for lunch, a hour on the bike and 4000iu of VitD - strange things to be happy about, but because of those things
- today is pretty.
The first snowfall is NOT a death sentence
