Weighing In on a Wintery Monday!


Now the weather outside is REALLY frightful. Plenty of blowing and drifting snow, wind chills below zero...Jack Frost is nipping at more than just my nose! My son does not have school today, and I wouldn't be surprised if they close for tomorrow as well. We're supposed to get more of the same all the way through Wednesday.
Inside of my nice warm house, I stepped on the scale this morning to find a 1 pound loss. Although I would have liked to see more gone than that, I'm pretty happy with it. Last week was my son's choir and band concert, and then we found out my cousin John passed away and had his memorial service a couple of days later. I fit in my exercise anywhere I could, even if it was in smaller amounts. I managed not to eat my sorrow about my cousin...instead being motivated to get myself in better shape due to his medical problems.
We're not quite halfway through December and I'm right on pace...almost halfway to my goal for the month. I will step it up this week even more. If you are a regular reader of my blog, you know how I want to get back into skiing shape. My article was recently published about other sports and exercises that will help you with your skiing, which you can read at http://www.suite101.com/content/perfect-workouts-to-keep-you-in-skiing-shape-a316887. I am incorporating some of these into my workouts to strengthen up for the slopes.
Though my workouts are indoors for the next few days, they will be intense. Here's to a fit week...and please stay warm!

You said it! The weather outside is frightful! And it's so cold, I think the fats in my body have fallen asleep. I have no energy to exercise at all. :(

Oh no! You may want to see your doctor and get checked out. You may have a seasonal vitamin deficiency.
