My strategies for keeping fit in the winter when the weather is terrible.
As we all know, regardless of how motivated or diligent we are about our walking or running routines; there are certain times of the year that make it make it difficult to maintain our consistency.
Winter is the time of year that I find most difficult in terms of maintaining my motivation and commitment to running, especially when the weather is particularly cold and miserable
I find the winter onerous because there is a tendency for me to eat more when I feel cold and of course there is the Christmas season with all of its inherent temptations of food and drink. I have also found that as I get older it is easier for me to gain weight and more difficult to get rid of the added pounds.
A couple of years ago I let myself go during the winter, especially around Christmas. That year we had an unusually cold and snowy winter and I used that as an excuse not to get out and run. It was easy for me to convince myself that the sidewalks would be too slippery, or that it was too windy or too cold.
I conveniently forgot that twenty years earlier I lived in Northern British Columbia and maintained my running schedule in much worse weather, sometimes when it was -18 degrees C with wind chill along with considerably more snow than we get near Vancouver where I now live.
The year in question I allowed my self to gain around 10 pounds in a relatively short period of three or four weeks. I was angry and sick at myself and decided to set up a plan for the future to try to prevent myself from repeating the same mistakes.
Now, when the weather starts to change, the days get shorter and darker and I begin to feel the old symptoms of laziness, lack of motivation and the desire to eat from a desire for comfort rather than out of hunger, I immediately do the following:
I start to weigh myself every single morning as soon as I get up. I also ensure that I record my weight in my running log. This way I can take myself in hand the moment I see my weight increasing.
I buy a new pair of running shoes, even if I don't need a pair. I find that "forking out" money for new shoes gives me added motivation to put them to use. Because I keep a training log I know how far I have run in my old pair. When I have run the same distance in the new ones I then alternate between the two. Generally a pair of running shoes will last me for about 500 miles.
I make sure that I put my running log book in a conspicuous place in the kitchen. This reminds me that the old adage about eating, " a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips" is something I have to keep in mind. I use the logs visibility as a reminder to keep out of the fridge. Any cookies or treats in the kitchen get taken down to the basement. Out of sight out of mind!
I make sure that there is plenty of fruit in the kitchen. In the winter it is usually bananas and mandarin oranges. If I want to eat I have something healthy readily available.
I ensure that I have some running magazines visible in different parts of the house. It doesn't matter if they are not recent ones. My strategy is to be able to see things that will keep me on the "straight and narrow" and keep me motivated.
Last, but most importantly, I make sure that my trusty pedometer watch is working properly and is giving accurate readings. Other than a good pair of running shoes, my pedometer watch is the most essential part of my running strategy.
Without my pedometer watch I would not be able to keep an accurate log of my distances. If the weather is particularly cold and windy I find that I run much more slowly than when the weather is fine. By using a pedometer watch I am not tempted into thinking that I have run my 10 miles by just gauging the amount of time I have been out in the elements.
As soon as possible when I get home I update my log book. Usually this is just a brief description of the weather along with the distance run. I always ensure that I describe the weather and the temperature. This way, if I try to talk myself out of running I can usually read back in my log and find days when I ran in weather that was a lot worse.
If you struggle to maintain your exercise routine in the winter perhaps some or all of these strategies will work for you too. If you are not using a pedometer, a pedometer watch or a GPS watch for walking or running I highly recommend you get one. There are several excellent makes and models on the market and you do not have to spend a fortune.

Pedometer $98.77 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A pedometer or step counter is a device, in modern times usually portable and electronic or electromechanical, that counts each step a person takes by detecting the motion of the persons hips. Because the distance of each persons step varies, an informal calibration performed by the user is required if a standardized distance (such as in kilometres or miles) is desired. Used originally by sports and physical fitness enthusiasts, pedometers are now becoming popular as an everyday exercise measurer and motivator. Often worn on the belt and kept on all day, it can record how many steps the wearer has walked that day, and thus the kilometres or miles (distance = number of steps x step length). Some pedometers will also erroneously record movements other than walking, such as bending to tie ones shoes, or road bumps incurred while riding a vehicle, though the most advanced devices record fewer of these false steps. Step counters can give encouragement to compete with oneself in getting fit and losing weight.
