The days are getting shorter, and the nights are getting longer. The air is getting colder, and I just want to curl up and hibernate. I have a really hard time getting motivated to move during the winter, I struggle to keep myself moving and keep some kind of exercise routine.
To make it worse, I want to eat more. During the summer when there are tons of fresh fruits and vegetables around I tend to eat healthy. When fall and winter are here I struggle and crave everything non-healthy, and the holidays don’t help. All that delicious food, and tons of it.
I have a couple tricks I use to help keep myself on track. They don’t always work, but they help.
I try to make sure I get some sunshine every day. I get outside, even if it’s only for a few minutes and enjoy the sunshine. I try to bring some of the outside in. I bring in some of my hanging baskets, and potted flowers to extend their blooming season in the sunny windows of the house. I also try to force a few bulbs to have blooms all through the winter. Even though it’s harder, I try to keep myself motivated to move and get some exercise several times a week.
Do you hibernate during the winter? What do you do to stay on track with your eating, and healthy habits?

译文:
君亦冬眠乎？
白昼渐短，黑夜渐长。冷风嗖嗖，我欲蜷身过冬。冬日步履艰，吾亦奋力行，保有暖身律。
我爱吃，更甚之。夏日果蔬鲜满溢，萦绕吾身，我可健康饮食。然秋冬至，吾力求非健康之食，节假日不休止。美食当道，吾为之倾倒。
奉行养生道，我有小花招。虽非次次灵，却也频频助。
日暖每每照，此乃小技巧。足若出户，虽仅几分钟，阳光尽情受。敲开自家门，万物门内生。收起悬竹筐，盆盛门外花，室内欲把花期延。我亦强使球茎于冬季之绽放。难哉，吾之运动吾身，一周数次。
君亦冬眠乎？君将何所食何所依，愿闻其详。
