Lose weight the fun way.

Posted on August 6, 2014

It's been one of those weeks. The weather has been gloomy and I haven't slept right. Of course, my workout and diet regimens are all out of whack. I skipped my run this morning which I didn't feel bad about but now I also want to skip my dance class later. I think I am running low on endorphins or something because I am just not feeling anything right now. Even my babies (my 4 year old students) couldn't improve my mood today which is a first since their cuteness is too much for me too handle.

So, UGH!

What to do? I need some sort of emotional energy booster. Anyone have any ideas to help me escape this weather-induced gloominess?

Sometime I find just stepping back for a minute and trying to figure out what is making me grumpy really helps. I head to starbucks, have a latte and write a blog post trying to evaluate what is making me grumpy, and what would make me happy. Then I work on making a plan to fix things. Good luck.

Wow thanks everyone! I actually put on some seriously loud music last night and jammed away before my dance class. Lifted my spirits right away. And now seeing all your advice has made me happy to have started DB! Everyone is so helpful and motivational. Thank you guys for being amazing!

Loud, fun music, cute videos of baby animals, as much as I'm against indoor UV lamps(skin cancer) I DO agree with Kim that it could make you feel better. Are you still with the kids?....let them decide on a craft or project for all of them to be involved in and you get right in on it....maybe some fun, messy painting!! Go to a bright, colorful store and buy yourself some sort of funky accessory that makes you smile and wear it to dance class later and dance and shake those endorphins up!!!!!

Hmmmm.... Could it also be "lady days"? The combo can wreck anyone's mood. What about spending some time under UV lamps and/or increasing your Vitamin D intake? Without the sun, you may be deficient.

Funny videos do the trick for me - recently just discovered some really funny John Oliver that made me LOL big time.

When I have a bad day, I put on really happy, energetic music (Happy, Blurred Lines, Good life (One Republic), On my Way (Phil Collins), Everybody (Ingrid Michaelson), Footloose. And dance away my frustration (with really wild moves)! Hope this helps.
