Easter = chocolate, easter eggs, hot cross buns, chocolate bunnies. Easter is the time when diets are put aside, exercise regimes are excused, and easter egg hunts are the extent of our activity for the weekend. But the media makes us feel bad about when we indulge, and guilts us into 'working off' the calories we consume over the weekend, and all the time. So, how do you deal with making exercise something you enjoy, rather than attaching it to/associating it with the idea of it being a punishment for the food you've eaten? This week we talk about how both of us have struggled with this, and what we do to try to avoid falling into the negative mindset of working off 'bad' foods.
