Are we ever really sorry to see winter go? Committing to working on your bikini body, is much less painful when the forecast isn’t predicting 10 to 15 centimeters of snow. Removing layer upon layer of warm clothing items, stuffing them into your gym locker, only to pile it all on again at the end of your workout.
Who devoured a whole dark chocolate bar with pieces of roasted almonds in it? Cocoa is such a powerful antioxidant and it’s super easy to lose track of mouthfuls, while binge watching Queer Eye!
One thing we know for sure is that those yoga pants, don’t lie. Enough with the moaning, it’s game time bitch!
Before we know it the sun will be out, lush green grass everywhere, birds chirping cheerful tunes. We will resurrect, never more ready.
No more excuses, gym membership and home workout space completely inessential. The warm weather brings with it unlimited outdoor options, to get your sweat on! Any grass covered public space becomes an exercise playground.
Just imagine how much fun you can have doing walking lunges and burpees in the park, while other people enjoy romantic picnics and lick ice cream!
The best way to figure out which kind of workout you will like, is by continuing to try new things. Doing this will prevent boredom and lack of motivation. It will also keep your body challenged, so you can continue to get positive results.
An outdoor workout that I’m looking forward to trying, as soon as the warm weather rolls around, is Plogging. Plogging is a wonderful combination of self-love and doing something nice for mother earth.
The idea is to pick up any garbage you see while out on a run. When you bend over to get the piece of trash, you can add one or more rep of any exercise. What a great way to take care of your own health, while cleaning up the neighbourhood!
Pure bliss is stretching as the sun sets, with sweat droplets of accomplishment dripping down your face…
Here are some cool down songs, sure to help you cherish the moment.
Anyone else itching for an outdoor workout in the sun?

I really do. I am a bit OCD, so I delight in the daily process of adding my food choices and workouts. I like to see the graph change with weight loss and I like to see the break down of the nutrients in the foods. LOL Kinda obsessive I know. 😉

It seems as though the more we desire to accomplish, the weather seems to want to tell you NO.

Why does it taste so good? 🙂

I know why! It’s because of the contrasting sweet creaminess that floods the chocolate from being too bitter. So, it’s a bit of a tease for us when we first taste it, but then the sweet taste rushes in, and between the chocolate and the sweet creaminess, it’s a smooth celebration in one’s mouth. I sorta think outside the box and my imagination tends to direct my conversation. LOL… I liked your question 🙂 Tamara
