Freaking Freezing

This is wrong!
Brrrrrrrr, it's cold out there. It's like the weather has changed overnight. Yesterday it wasn't even jumper season, Today....... it's jumper season. I'll say for one thing, it isn't half hard to drag your carcass out from a warm cozy 13.5 tog duvet for a workout session. This is the time when you need it most. Our body craves the carbohydrates at this time of year and it loves the fact that "not a bare leg in sight" is the order of the day, thick socks, tights and boots. No need to slap on the fake tan or shave your legs It stocks up for the winter so to speak, slowly and sneakily adding a few millimeters to our body fat, just to tide us over to the spring, a modern form of hibernation if you like.
  RUBBISH! You do not have to succumb to the Nazi regime, get out that winter slump and get a grip. Who's in charge here? Are you gonna give in? Yeah fair enough your skin may not see the light of day until at least April, the sexiest piece of clothing your poor other half may see you in is a snuggie (monstrosity of an invention). But come on! You have Christmas nights out to go do, dresses to wear. You also will have a harder job to work off the layers of adipose in the spring.
On a more dreaded note; There is a monster in us ladies, at least 85% of us, and the circumstances that this Monster thrives on is layer upon layer of clothing hiding it's existence, cosy nights in front of the TV with a glass of wine, Caffeine, fatty foods, Christmas puds,  not enough water..... It's called Cellulite, Orange peel, Cottage cheese, mattress phenomenon.... even pot hole ass? So right there is your biggest most defining reason to get a grip this winter and don't be a sap. Honestly when I go onto a certain social networking sit and see " Aw it's cold", "Aw the weather is crap", "Aw it's Monday", "Gonna have a duvet day" I am sickened by the wimpishness of people. Toughen up for peat's sake. Grow a freaking pair.
 It's hilarious the excuses people make up to get out of training at this time of year. I had one person texting me to cancel a training session because their heating had packed in and the house would be cold. Seriously not gonna happen. "I'm pretty sure you will be glad you have no heating when we start training" was my reply, and do you know what? She was.
  Not one to go on about something though, but what is it about people complaining of the cold, dark dreary mornings? I'm sick to the back teeth of how easily defeated people are. It's the exact same thing as people complaining that the air conditioning in the gym has packed in and it's too warm and they're too sweaty. Fair one we pay a membership for the maintenance of the gym but remember.........It's a gym, you are there to sweat, to smell, to be warm and to burn calories. That's the whole point. It just saves wearing a bin bag under your gym gear to get inch loss on your stomach (only ex football players or referees ever do this, it's hilariously pointless as you rustle about the gym).
  I realise I am beginning to go off on one. So until next time.............
