Fall is here and for many that means sinus and allergy season is in full swing. Sinus pressure sets in and your head pounds. Taking allergy medicine only makes you want to sleep. Soon a little sinus trouble turns into a sinus infection. All the pressure and misery makes you feel like sleeping or just sitting and waiting for your allergy medicine to kick in. Once it does you may feel like sleeping the day away. Soon you realize you missed a day of working out. One day leads to two days and two days leads to three and so on. Or maybe you caught the first cold or flu of the year and after days of not working out you cannot get yourself motivate to get back into your routine. Perhaps your reasons are not physical but simply because you got too busy and missed a few days. Now what? Are you days of working out over?
When you fall into a slump you need to find the strength to get back into your workout routine. This is the time to push to the limit and dig down deep to find that last bit of strength to keep moving. We all get into slumps. If you have been working out for awhile revisit your accomplishments and where you started. That may give you the motivation to keep going. List the reasons you decided to make working out and eating healthy a part of your lifestyle. Give yourself a good talking to about why you made the decision to begin with. Remember how it feels to accomplish your fitness goals or how much more energy you have when you are working out and eating right. It is hard to continually keep going and even harder to get back into it after something caused you to give it up. In the end, the only thing that will end your slump is forcing yourself to get up and move. So get up and move!
