We had snow. Then we got slush. Now we have something in between.

Still no exercise.

I plan on trying some green smoothies. I need an energy boost.

i found these yummy crepes at the store. just 50 calories. i spread ff cream cheez, and then roll it up. so good!

another great day. the kids are at home becuase of fear of snow on the road but since it is above freezing, it is kind of a panic response from the school system.

Yea!! Good job Sheri-I don't see the gym in my future this week but starting on Saturday when my crazy schedule calms down I am going.

70 minutes of running done this morning. followed up with salmon and sprouted grain toast, with spinach. power breakfast! YAHOO!

Gym - upper body workout and water rower cooldown done!

Due to the snow, bad roads and parking conditions, I didn't get to the gym during and after the last 2 snowstorms. That turned into "I'll start back tomorrow" or "I'll start back on Monday" and now it's probably been 3-4 weeks since I've been to the gym.

Until then, I'd been doing BETTER with the gym than I did last year--getting to the gym 3 X week vs. 2. So this has been a frustrating setback. How hard it is to build a habit and how easy it is to break it!

Today is the day...I'm going back to the gym.

Challenges? Where do I begin?

Right now I feel very run down and in ill health somehow. My first challenge is to tweak my daily meals in a healthier direction. It feels as if what I eat is sapping my energy. I was on vacation all of last week and spent the whole time blowing my nose - literally, as I was nursing a cold.

I like lots of snow as opposed to lots of slush, but it does cramp my style a bit since walking is difficult and I don't have proper outdoor walking shoes. Going to the gym or pool is nice but involves extra effort -- now there's another challenge.

For this month, I want to work on my own brand of emotional eating -- a sort of food-as-procrastination thing I do. I tend to keep eating to prolong meals (especially breakfast and lunch) and put off tasks I'd rather not do. I also use food as a way to make unpleasant duties more tolerable -- as in, I can get through this tax questionnaire/phone call/bill paying/spreadsheet completion/whatever if I have something sweet to munch on. I've tried lots of ways to break these habits, but still they persist. I may just have to white-knuckle it for a while.

i hear you! our weather has been going back and forth between sunny and warm, and a chance of snow on tuesday night.

i love being outdoors. i ran saturday and sunday . i enoyed it so much. so peaceful and relaxing. it is like meditation.

My hope for March is better weather that will allow me to get out and walk. My dogs need it as much as I do. I still plan to hit the gym 3x/wk but want to walk every day as well. I feel like I've been inside the house so long and I am very ready for sunshine and fresh air.

i cannot believe it is march already.

started off this morning with a great workout, then a healthy breakfast.so far, so good.

i have to be gone march 9 and 10, and march 11 will be jammed packed with appointments. so i may miss 3 days of workouts, so my goals is to go to the gym every day until march 9th.
