another snow day ..

...with more on the way.

Saturday it snowed and today it was bitter cold and a bit icy. No walking outside for me.

Saturday I took Sharon to the gym. No pictures. It's was packed. All those new years resolutions about getting fit I guess.  She's taken to following me to the bikes, and then when  I'm done, she's done. Excuse me? Who's paying for this membership? Don't you want to get your money's worth? So I tricked her.

She zoomed over to the bikes and I headed for the elliptical. I did five minutes and was exhausted. Need to build up again. Can't remember the number. Maybe 7 or 8. Then I went to join her at the bike. "Where were you?" "Eliptical." "But I can't do that." I just smiled and said to myself, yeah I know. I set the bike to 10, and watched the heart rate. I got up to the fat burning range, and did that for 5 minutes. Then I hopped off. And headed over to the "thigh master".  Moments later Sharon arrived.

I do believe I have a shadow.

Everything I worked on was for the lower torso and legs. I'm okay with those most of the time. It's the upper body that I have trouble with. Thus the reason I'm as weak as a mouse.

By 10 the snow arrived so I got to shovel. That burned three or four more calories.

Sharon went out with Lyd today and bought a walking DVD. I'm doing it tonight.

Hopefully I'll get out tomorrow to walk outside. Another storm is due Tuesday and Wednesday.
