Workout adversity: Falling off and climbing on the horse

Have you ever noticed how holidays spring up around the time you start to workout? I sometimes wonder why this happens, and I personally think that it’s because of predictable irrationality. I think that people subconsciously pick times of the year to start getting healthy only to be derailed by some holiday. Well, it sounds rational to me anyway. So here I am again getting my workout game back together again.

I had a good holiday season, one filled with delicious food that seemed to never end. I did mnage to run some, however not nearly as often or routinely enough to be considered good. I am back though, and I have decided to step back a couple weeks on my Couch to 5k journey. I will be starting back up at week 3 and continuing on from there, and hopefully this decision isn’t a better idea.

I still think my biggest concern will be to keep my meals normal and not outrageously large. I don’t really have the cravings for sweets any more and I don’t think that portion control is going to be hard, but as with everything in life…time will tell.  So, what are you doing after the holiday carnage? Did you give up, or were you not affected at all? Let us know!
