    It's cold, dark and icy at 5:30 in the morning. I could deal with 2 out of 3 of those, but this morning had all 3 so I went to the gym and used the treadmill.

    It's dropped into the 30s here in New Jersey (I know, not cold by the standards of some people posting here, but about 30 degrees below the comfort zone of this South Carolina native)! After 2 weeks of sinus trouble, including a week with a blunted/intermittent sense of smell, and more air travel than usual, I was so glad to get home last night and be able to smell & taste food that I overate and then stayed in bed through my morning 'workout window' today...I'll hop back on the wagon tonight. I hope this thread remains active with tips for staying motivated through the cold, dark winter to come!

    Balmy zero degrees Sunday morning when I was out trodding through cat tails in search of the elusive white tail deer. I earned my calories on Sunday - not so much on Saturday. I feel like I ate a ton and didn't work it off. My garmin died on Saturday and I had no way of charging it so I really have no way of measuring. I just know I drank enough gin after hunting all three days to negate any good I did hiking!

    Yesterday was a beautiful 35 no wind day so the dogs and I walked the mile to the mail box and back. Not exactly strenuous but enjoyable. MOVEMENT.

    I hate how dark it gets. Harder to fit hikes into my week. I take extra vitamin D in hopes that it'll combat the blah feeling.

    Even harder to get runs it. I am now getting used to running in the dark.
