    We're supposed to get up to 25 centimeters of snow here in SK tonight and tomorrow. And a snowstorm warning to go with it.
    I know it will make me wanna crawl under a blanket with some carb loaded snacks and watch Lord of the Rings for the 15th time. All 3 of them.
    Hey..it's a long weekend, don't judge haha!
    On the other hand, i have an elliptical in the basement so i'll need a better excuse that the weather not to exercise!

    Where in Sask are you?? I'm half way between Saskatoon and Prince Albert. They're predicting snow here but only a few cm and no snow storm warning.

    Sadly I'm working all weekend. :( I'm hoping the roads aren't too terribly. I've already driven to work three times when they said travel on the highways is not recommended lol

    Small town Estevan haha! about 2.5 hours from Regina. I actually had to drive to Regina last Sunday and while the highways weren't icy or anything the fog was so dense you could barely see anything. Pretty scary! Be careful out there if you need to drive to work(which sucks on a long weekend ):flowerforyou:

    I've already hit the ditch once on the very first day of snow. Which was the first time EVER hitting the ditch for me. So I'm hoping that it'll be the only time. :P Thankfully I do have really good snow tires on so that helps a lot. And a bit of extra time...lol

    I get into that hibernation mode too....feel like I need to get it all in before it's too late.

    It didn't help that the first 10 days of the month we didn't see the sun - that just makes comfort food call even louder.

    This year I'm trying to be concious of my healthy choices and not go crazy wtih some "all or nothing" mentality about what I can and can't eat....but man oh man I am starving.

    When I moved to Canada, after a few years I did feel like I wanted to eat and sleep during winter, and I gained a little weight, but once I hit 110 pounds over the course of those few years (on my small frame) I decided to re-commit to my fitness. I have adjusted and will stay the course now. That was the only time that ever happened to me. It did not happen when I lived on the east coast (though I was young and a professional dancer). But, I moved to California because I very much disliked the cold. I lived there for 7 years and moving up to Canada was a change for me (during the snowiest winters they'd had in over 20 years). Reminded me of being pregnant. But, I think seasonal depression is a factor in that.

    def. Thanksgiving was kind to me and Halloween wasn't bad...but my birthday was yesterday and between that and Christmas its like FOOOOOD EVERYWHEREEEEEEEEEEEE after halloween AND thanksgiving! This colder and darker weather just makes me wanna be lazy and I can't! I have so many things to do (school, work, working out!) and its just like LETS SIT AND DRINK HOT CHOCOLATE AND EAT WARM FOODS AND SNUGGLE...and then I'm like oH SNAP I CANT DO THAT I WANNA LOSE WEIGHT AND I HAVE TO FINISH SCHOOL AND I NEED MONIES TO PAY FOR THINGS.

    So I totally get it!
