Why so much frose?
We all know there is always an excuse to drink but that is never truer than during those summer months. BBQ’s, beach days, sitting in the garden, outdoor dinners, cocktails by the pool, the list goes on. And living in NYC we know that before we can blink, it’ll be winter and we will be locked inside crying into our wine bottle. So, it’s summer and I spent the first half barely drinking it hopes it would change my weight situation and create better habits. The latter did happen but I also felt like I was having zero fun.
I was prescribed some medications that resulted in a 25lb weight gain. For a girl like me who works out everyday and eats fairly well, this was quite a shock. Trying to get the weight off after stopped the meds is proving to be even more challenging. So you try things. Not drinking, no carbs, juice cleanses, blah blah blah and when nothing works and you realise it’s almost the end of summer and you haven’t been to the beach cause you aren’t comfortable but you also haven’t done anything and for what? So recently I’ve been having a case of the fuck its and opting to say yes to that after work cocktail.
Yesterday was one of those days. It started with a white claw situation that turned into tequila soda that turned into whatever the frozen drink on offer was. Those offers included vodka and rum. It ended with an alarm going off reminding me that I am a trainer and I work every morning. So there I went to train clients with a huge hangover wondering why the frose. So where do we draw the line? Is there a happy medium?
I have always followed the no excuses rule for myself. So if I’m hungover that will not mean I don’t work out. It’ll just mean that it’ll suck a lot more. Ask yourself all the times you found a good excuse to drink, now, ask yourself how many times that became the excuse not to work out? What if we looked at working out the same way as we did that summer cocktail? There is always a good reason to work out. And…it might just cure that hangover…and that shitty mood…and everything else.
