Sloth and Gluttony

So I am really thinking that the winter is not good for me.  I find myself wanting to go to bed at 5 o'clock.  As soon as the sun goes down my eyes want to close, my body wants to curl up, and my brain wants to shut off.  I am this person who needs an unnatural amount of sleep anyways.  Add in some darkness and a scary amount of cold and all I want to do is hibernate.  That might not be a totally bad thing if my need for warm sweets such as chocolate chip cookies.  I have made myself 2 chocolate chip cookies every night this week except for tonight when I had a brownie covered in ice cream and caramel.  Hello bigger pants that I just slimmed out of!!  If I keep eating like this over the winter I will not only gain back the 15 pounds I have lost but gain another 50 to go with it. OH, and did I meantion that my body hates the cold.  I somehow manage to be cold all the time anyways.  Add in the actual cold weather, and I need a portable heater with me at all times.  My husband bought me an electric snuggie for CHRISTmas, and I have been so crazy cold this week, he gave it to me early!  I just don't ever seem to be warm enough.  I dislike the winter very much, but I do believe more so this winter.  I very much see the negative effects on my sleep cycle, my eating, and my energy.  I WANT WARM WEATHER.  Now that my rant on that is over, maybe I can quit whining like a spoiled two year old.  I am determined to do better this week.  No more cookies every night.  More exercise.    More happiness. Less complaining about how I hate the cold.  I said earlier this week on facebook that I was choosing joy.  I usually do a decent job of this, but not when it comes to the weather.  I tend to let the negativity team captain named Satan give me a bad attitude for the winter weather.  SO I am hoping that by typing this out and having accountability on the good ole internet that I will be more aware when I say negative things about the weather.  Just because I don't like it doesn't mean that I can't enjoy it.  Hmm...that actually makes sense in my heads.
