This week has been a hard one... I had to convince myself to even write this short blog.
 

I’ve always been one to like the cold. Cold means layers, which means I get to be cozy all the time!

Heat, on the other hand, I don’t care for anything over 25.
 

This winter has been a tough one, mentally, and I know I am not alone in this.
 

I feel blessed that I was able to have a break from a Canadian winter and feel the sun on my face as I enjoyed the fresh air and 29-degree weather of Anaheim during my latest running weekend. I was sad to leave, but not for the reason I usually am.
 

Usually, I leave Disney, and I struggle as it feels like home, and I am suddenly leaving it behind.... This time, I was fine, not a single tear as we left. That was, until we landed in Toronto, and we were back to the land of ice and snow.
 

I am not sure what it is about this winter, I remember them being worse when I was growing up, but there is just something that is making this year a hard one - and making it hard to stick to eating well, and working out - all of which I have been great at doing since I started meeting with my trainer back in June.

The only thing I can do is remember: this depression will pass, and in the meantime, it’s okay to not be okay!
