I can't shake this feeling I have that something isn't right. I don't feel like myself at all. I keep trying to tell myself that it's the gloomy weather but for how long is that excuse valid?
I feel flustered and forgetful. Negative and whiny. Tired and disorganized.
I'm going to go for a jog (and I use that term loosely, it'll probably be 90% walking with a few minutes of jogging thrown in) tonight and hope the endorphins help me get over whatever the heck is wrong with me!
I think I've finally come to terms with the fact that I have to be more active in the winter to keep from falling into a slump. I personally prefer the summer when I'm not hibernating like a lazy bum most of the time.
PS. Ready to be motivated by all of your favourite bloggers? Starting Monday you'll get to hear what a whole bunch of fabulous ladies have to say about their health and fitness routines.
Aw, hon, I think a lot of people feel like that during the winter. It's the cold, sometimes gloomy weather. Some good exercise with endorphins should help, so that's a great idea!
ReplyDeleteAnd it should also help that you are looking absolutely adorable! I hope that helps, anyway...
I can only imagine how down I'd feel with all the wintery weather some people have to deal with! On a positive note, you're so fashionista as always!! :)
ReplyDeleteyes the Winter can be very blah - we're not getting enough sunshine. You still look fabulous though! That vintage blazer caught my eye right away and I scrolled down to see where you got it from - then was disappointed that I can't get one for myself :( Oh well!
ReplyDeleteWOOHOO! You wore the necklace!! Now it can be added to your future pile of stuff to sell/give away... hehe But I have to say, it does look pretty good. ;) (Oh yeah, you look nice too. :p)
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to Monday's post :)
ReplyDeleteI love when normal people post health/fitness stuff because it's more... "If I can do this, so can you" and not "I'm a pro athlete. I spent 8 hours a day working out. What do you do? Oh you sit at a desk? You're doomed to be out of shape FOR EVER!!!!"
Which makes me happy. I like normal people haha.
Your sister picked our a really pretty necklace for you.
ReplyDeleteYou're in the winter slump too? Winter is a love/hate relationship =\ But not to worry, Spring is almost here!!!
Just Better Together is having a giveaway!
I feel the same way lady! But I started exercising regularly and its true what they say - I feel sooo much better. & happier! So I hope fitness gets you out of the January slump :)
ReplyDeletep.s. Can't wait for Monday's feature!

I feel the SAME way! I've been cutting out a lot of exercise since I'll just look outside and decide I don't want to leave the house because of the weather.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to join your plans of up-ing the exercise since I'm also in a slump. I feel sluggish, wake up tired, and in a "let's not but say we did" relationship with activity.
Worst thing about this is a work at a yoga studio haha.
Here is to hoping we quickly get out of this slump!

I hope you shake our funk off soon. You look cute though so relish in that. I understand the gloomy weather bringing you down though. I use it as an excuse during these months too.

the January blues, they get me every time....and by time i mean year.
ReplyDeletep.s. love your new banner!
I'm pretty sure I have seasonal depression, too! Well, if it makes you feel any better, you look super cute (as usual). I love the scenery in these outdoor shots, and your dad sure has good taste! ;)

Have you ever tried Vitamin D supplements? It helps me during those (6) months when we don't see the sun.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon. Sending warm wishes to you in Vancouver!
Oooh those Hunter boots are a wonderful present! I love them with the blazer, very stylish!
ReplyDeleteJanuary is a slumpy lame month and I understand how you feel.

Well just thinking about that awesome feature made me feel refreshed, so hopefully your walkjog did the same for you :) You're looking super cute (can't get over that blazer) even if you're feeling kind of off!
ReplyDeletegorgeous outfit i love the jacket!! your pieces were posted yesterday so hopefully it dosen't take too long to get to you!! The red dress is going to look gorgeous on you.. and that blazer is perfect with a waist belt when you scrunch the sleeves!! cant wait to see them on you XX Ally
ReplyDeleteMaybe you just need to be inspired? And have fun on your run - if this motivates you whatsoever, I went for two runs today, one in the morning (5km) and another when I got home from work (13km) - If you're starting out I would recommend couch to 5k, I initially started running based on this and after that would use map my run to figure out what distances :)
ReplyDeletei hope you are feeling better today! after i go for a run or do some other exercise, i usually feel better about myself because i feel like i am atleast keeping in shape :)
ReplyDeletep.s. i love love you blazer!!
You and me both sister, I have not had a good week.
ReplyDeleteside note - I am digging your new header/layout.
Anyway, you should check out the book "The Happiness Project", I'm starting my happiness project by cleaning out my closet. [IT IS A HOT MESS]. Maybe take a look at the author's blog at happiness-project.com to read all about it. I've done a few posts myself about it.

That has to be the most awesome blazer ever.
ReplyDeleteYikes, winter blues. Would it be of any comfort to know that you look simply chic here? What a perfect outfit to stroll around in the rain in.
ReplyDeleteYou should take up salsa dancing. ;) It's all done indoors and having friends who are really involved in the salsa scene motivates you to go to dance events and sign up for classes.
Um, you are adorable. Love your style. Love your hair. Absolutely following. Can't wait to read more!
ReplyDeleteKristine. Or Polly.

You are just completely adorable. I love your style and this outfit is super finished and classic. I seriously envy your Hunter boots...Love them! And I hear ya on the "jog" after taking about four months off from honestly jogging, I've demoded myself to a walk-jogger too.
ReplyDeletegive me those boots! and sweater! ah! so cute! i just came across your blog! i think you will love my giveaway that goes until tonight!
ReplyDeletehealth and fitness routines. I'm excited.
ReplyDeleteI've noticed I don't feel like myself in the winter because it is too cold to go outside and thus I feel like it is too cold to do anything.
I'm so jealous of your blazer + boots! Love them! I hope you get out of your funk soon! A lot of people don't feel as great in the winter due to the gloomy weather and lack of sun..Just think, Spring is right around the corner!
ReplyDeletethis is one of my favorite on your blog! love love love it!

i seriously love your blog. i'm so glad i stumbled upon it :) you style is spectacular! and i love the scenery in this post :)
ReplyDeleteI love that outfit and am still lusting for Hunter boots (with all of the precipitation Whistler gets it just makes sense, right?).
ReplyDeleteAnd I was starting to feel the same way as you until I hit up Whistler for a day of skiing in the sun and it totally changed everything. Hopefully a little Vitamin D, sunlight, fresh air and exercise will do the trick. It seems to work for me most of the time!
