There are three times of the year that it's hard to lose weight. I'll tell you what they are and you try to guess what the three have in common?
Valentine's Day. Halloween. Christmas.
Go into any supermarket or CVS/Walgreens and you will be greeted by the answer. It's the time for candy. I want to eat it all. Valentine's Day might be the worst time for it. Why? Because one of my favorite candies are only available this time of year and they are pretty terrible for you. It's the little conversation hearts. That are nothing but pure sugar.
So far I've been good. I haven't had any a single piece of candy since they rolled out into stores. But as the old saying goes... the struggle is real! I want it. I keep trying to convince myself one piece of candy won't hurt. The same way I try to convince myself a McDonald burger won't hurt.
I'm trying not to look at as a drastically as recovering alcoholic, but I'm using the term "falling off the wagon." I've stayed on the wagon so far.
I even made the Super Bowl part of my workout this year. When the Chiefs scored a touchdown I did a seven second plank. When the 49ers scored one, it was seven sit ups. I did more planking this year.
While looking at Twitter this evening I found a six minute exercise. I can spare six minutes a day to get into shape, right? Well it's 2 minute exercises done 3 times a day. And it all involves different forms of planking.
