Snow


Why is a video about snow on a blog about losing weight? Because I decided to do something about w8 loss, I decided to start my own program called w8 Loss Wednesday, which led to the decision to start exercising, which led to the decision to walk to and from work, which led to me walking in the snow one morning, which led me to take pictures of the snow I was walking in, which led to this video.

Exercise:
Walk to work 1 mile (in the snow)

Breakfast:
2 ganola bars
1 banana

Crazy Cold this morning

I haven't been walking to work last week because it has been very cold outside. Well, after my weigh in yesterday, with 0 lbs lost, I decided to man up and get back after it and start walking to work, cold or no cold.

It was 8 degrees outside. about 1/2 mile into my walk, I thought my forehead was going to freeze solid. My ears were screaming with pain. So I ducked into a convenience store and bought some coffee and milled around the store to give my face a chance to thaw before getting back out in the frigid knife-like air.

I made it to work, although chilled to the bone. That was actually pretty dangerous. Next items to buy, ear muffs and a felt Indiana Jones style hat. anybody know where I can find a good set of ear muffs? I want the kind that wrap around the back of your head so you can wear a hat.
