Granted. It’s still freezing in Chicago, it’s not the Prom, and I’m not 13, so it’s probably not all that kosher to be such a birthday self-promoter anymore. I also DO not care, cause c’mahhhhn, how many times to you turn 30!?! I plan on blowing it out in style with my favorite floozies by my side. And maybe going for a pony ride afterward.

Anyone else been feelin’ a little like our friend above? Not sure why, but lately I’ve just been sluggishhhhh. Alllllright, that’s a lie… I know exactly why I’m feeling this way. No consistent cardio workouts and not enough sleep have been making me feel run down. Without the regular endorphin kicks, my body’s starting to slow.

So I’m using this public forum as a letter to myself, written on scratch n’ sniff pink paper, to WAKE THE EFF UP and re-join the land of the living.

It’s time to hit the treadmill and trails and get my running legs working again.

It’s time to focus on getting in consistent yoga classes, as my body LOVES this.

Seriously, people, it’s good. Really, really good. My mind feels clear, clear, clear after each class.

And most importantly of all, IT’S TIME TO GET SOME SLEEP. I’m talking 7 (!) hours of shuteye. I gotta. It makes a world of difference for me.

But first, how do YOU all peel yourselves out of the comforts of wintertime hibernation and out of a funk? Is there any method of motivation that gets you back on the path to health and happiness?
