DON'T GIVE UP!! Push through WINTER!

 Sometimes people joke about how it's nice come March or April when other's quit their New Year's Resolutions to come to the gym so that it's less crowded. While it can be hard to deal with a crowded gym, we need to support and root each other on! 

Sometimes it might be easier to put on some Under Armour and go for a quick run or just do some simple exercises at home like push-ups, jumping jacks, and lunges. But whatever you do, DON'T GIVE UP! Especially if you made it a goal to go to the gym, get in shape, or lose weight this year. 

Truth is, I've been feeling the pain of a hard winter here and it's difficult to even get up and down my driveway, let alone make it to the gym 12 miles away. I've also been craving sweets and carbs like it's nobody's business!!!

Here are some great articles (click on links below) from SHAPE magazine website that has some insights and suggestions for those of us that lack the motivation to keep working out and eating healthy this time of year:
