    I'm in and shoveled 6 inches of snow off my drive - I suppose that counts! During January, the semester will start and I'll be able to get back to my "normal' routine. I'll also start weighing myself on a daily basis and plotting it as a control chart. This was excellent tracking/motivation for me during the summer when I had good weight loss so hopefully it will work for me now.

    I am doing squat and plank challenge but still being preggo I think I will alternate days. We'll see how I feel. I have an exercise dvd for preggo gals too that I am going to work in there. I was doing it daily but then caught a cold and got out of the habit.

    I certainly think that the snow you shoveled counts ... :wink:

    Because that is exactly what I did today (snow and ice)
