    cold speeds up metabolism your body uses more energy to keep warm

    So it burns more calories? :happy:

    Yup! Did you ever see that episode of Big Bang Theory when Sheldon points out that they have to eat 5000 calories a day just to maintain their bodyweight when they go on a n expedition to Antarctica?

    * Its a nerdy comedy about mid-20’s physicists/roommates if you haven't seen it, youtube it!

    alright who wants to take a trip to antartica :flowerforyou: i think thats why shoveling snows burns ajillion calories your body works harder to keep warm

    I go for a walk outside almost everyday. With the snow we get here, I use my pair of ''COW FUR BOOTS'' ..!!! Those are the warmest boots I ever had. I had a pair since I was a kid but I got a new pair 15 years ago and they still look like new. I just changed the inside foam once. They are expensive but all worth it.

    No real snow here yet. I just decided to run on the treadmill instead. First time I've done that in years. I found it to be harder than running on the road, etc. even at the same pace.

    Very eventful whilst walking my dog :) I saw a ice patch, well, needless to say, my shoe got soaked :P, We also met a doggy friend, and I found a penny on the ground! :D Lol!
    Anyways,
    wanted to thank you all for making me get off my *kitten* and get moving :P
    I feel a ton better! :flowerforyou:

    You apparently don't know what else they did to keep warm... hee

    My issue with going out for walks right now is that d*** wind! If it is warmer I can bring myself to go out in it, but I can't go out without my dog. Okay I can, but I won't, and she is only 5 pounds on her fat days. I don't want to turn my dog into a kite!

    The other issue, that I need to work on getting over, is now when I get home it is dark... I get a little creeped out going for walks in the dark. I live in a decent neighborhood, and I can walk along a fairly busy street, but there is still something about it that creeps me right out.

    And yes... I COULD get up and go before work, but I am fairly certain the dog would actually kill me in my sleep if I did that. She is more of a late sleeper than I am (and she is still a puppy! yay for dogs that like to sleep in...lol!)

    lol true story! I get her out at 6am to do her thing, many days, and once she is done she comes back in and goes back to bed. On weekends she glares at me if I get out of bed before 8am. I am afraid to get another dog for fear that this will change. lol
