A Black-Friday Blog. Reflecting on the previous week and looking ahead to December, January, February.
I image for many folks, November through February can be a challenging time to sustain and build upon physical fitness and healthy habits that were developed over the warmer summer months. It has certainly proven to be a challenge for me. Colder temperatures, less outside activity, and many-many weeks of wonderful family-friend social events combine into a formidable headwind for healthy habits. Overcoming these headwinds will take a deliberate day-by-day fresh perspective on the “Why”. Today is the day after Thanksgiving. So how did yesterday go?
- Start: 6:45 am 25-mile bike ride with 17 “Lititz-Crew”, great ride, great company
- Smaller meal portions spaced throughout the day…
- With lots of activity/exercise worked in.
- Lite on the carbs
- and enjoyed the pumpkin pie
Now, heading into December – January – February:
- Can I make a shift from being a ‘Foodie’ to being a ‘Fuelie’?
- The ‘Why-Power’ can be stronger than the ‘Will-Power’
Thanksgiving day, early am bike ride with the Lititz Crew. (3 year tradition: 16 riders this year)
