Fall is here, cold weather starts to set in, shorter days, less daylight, and the sluggish feeling we all get this time of year. It is hard sometimes to stay on track with our fitness goals this time of year. All the heavy food Holidays that are within a 3 month span ~ Halloween (candy, candy, candy), Thanksgiving (way to much food), and Christmas (food, candy, food,).. then of course New Years (food, drinks, food, drinks,.. bad headache). It is hard to stay on track with all the temptations. But, have no fear as I have gathered some great tips to help keep you motivated and to help you get thru the rest of 2012 and start 2013 on the right foot!!
Here are some amazing tips, from some amazing girls. These come from some Sweat Pink Ambassadors ( #SPA ) Read the tips, and check out their sites to learn more great tips.
Gina Topley ~ Motivation for working out tip: Make exercise fun by finding something active that you love such as hiking or yoga. http://healthloveandchocolate.com/
Mindy Artze ~ My best tip is that I tie a ribbon around the refrigerator doors (I have the side by side fridge) I have to untie the ribbon to get the food that I want to eat. It makes me take a few extra seconds to think about my food or drink choices. http://mindysfitnessjourney.blogspot.com/

I use fruit to keep my water drinking interesting. I add a slice of lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit. Sometimes even berries. If I have fruit that is starting to go bad I freeze it into ice cube trays for my water.

These are great tips! Thank you!
These are great tips. This holiday season I’ll be doing the candida diet. I will have to cook my food around the diet for the holiday.
The ice cold water in the morning is one of my things too! Plus, I repeat that throughout the day.
Great tips! I try to walk around the fields when my kids have soccer practice!
Oh I really love the ribbon idea! Great tips – thanks for sharing!

What is a “plank”? Clicked on the link you listed, but couldn’t find a mention of it.
A plank is a pushup, but you stay up
Great tips – I’m trying to convince myself that sweating is good. I HATE sweating so it’s taking some mind over matter for sure!
I really need to listen to these… I have been so unmotivated the last few weeks it is killing me
Our local playground actually has outdoor fitness equipment for parents to use, but I find it hard to get past the self consciousness to use it.
I love ice cold water too!

Great tips. I need to develop a routine for inside. I hate exercising out in the cold.
These are all great tips. I love the not writing off 15 minutes of exercise if that is all you have. That is my big problem.

Great tips, I always try and park my car far away from the store for that extra walking time, I really believe that every little bit counts!
