I am a work in progress...

...I have to work everyday to achieve my goals. My weight goals, my training goals,  and my race goals. Right now since my training for a 10 miler and half marathon is a couple weeks away and it is bitterly cold outside (I am a wimp) I have been focusing on my weight. I have struggled with my weight my entire adult life. I was the super skinny high schooler who didn't have to work out...but then college happened and the freshman 15 or 30...opps! I didn't even know what happened...I was truly blind to it. I was the person who looked in the mirror and didn't see it or denied it so long I accepted it. I didn't even know how to work out...really it's true!!!

Then I after I had my son...my body changed and I was super heavy...for my height. I was uncomfortable and I was pushing 160 at 5 feet tall. So I started to change and I did every diet in the book...not even kidding! So I yo-yo'ed for years! A couple years ago I hit an all time high of 172 (omg I just typed that for the world to read) and about the same time I discovered really working out and eating healthy, no diet..just food! Fast forward to today..I am healthy and I tend to stay between 127-130. Which is my healthy happy weight.

So what do I do to stay active and maintain my weight during the winter months? Well, I spin! I have been riding outdoors for a couple of years thanks to Van...she helped me overcome my fear of riding on the road. But I  am new to Spin (thanks, Jen)! I love it! It could be the company or teacher..but it is so awesome.

 I do run outdoors when it is above 32 degrees but if not I find myself on the dreadmill, I mean treadmill. I also do a abs class after spin and I struggle thru...but it feels great!

What do you guys do during the winter months to stay active? Do you struggle to stay active? Do you have winter goals?
