I love spring and summer...some fall but winter drags me down. I love walking outside after work and on weekends, but the sun is already setting by the time I get home in winter time, and I don't walk by myself when it's dark outside. Give me sunshine and warm weather.

- We finally received an annoying snow storm, and it makes it hard to walk 2-4 miles when I want to, but we have an elliptical in the basement, so it's not that big of a problem.

It's been so cold, I don't want to get out of bed until I absolutely have to and sometimes that is close to lunchtime. Isn't that terrible. I can totally do without winter anymore,

I'm told by my personal trainer that my exercise is not the problem, but it is what I eat. I eat well most of each day except Sunday. I am eliminating the bad snacks and planning to get in enough protein to keep the hunger down. This should be easy, February is only 28 days. I tell myself that I can do anything for 28 days. So far, day 1 has been good but then again, I have only had 2 meals and 1 snack. Looking for this to help me stay focused.

Since it has been so cold here I have not been running outside. I may stay on the treadmill until March. It has also been too cold to take my dogs for their daily walk. They are happy with that as they don't like their feet cold or wet. I have ordered boots for them, so once they are delivered, we will be back to the walks.

My 2014 mantra is consistency. I lose it slowly & have low metabolic rate. Good Nutrition is the foundation!
If I go off nutrition 1x or 2x it’s ok. But if that becomes 3-4-5x then I’ll start to gain weight. I need to exercise regularly, too, else I’ll just maintain.

Cold: Enjoy walking outdoors and recreational bicycling ( not a core cyclist). In frigid weather, or lots of snow & ice, I do neither
as I need a smooth surface for my balance.
I prefer natural cardio fitness over machines but have learned to like the Eliptical enough to accommodate my knee and ankle joints. I am a former runner and sports athlete who slowly learned to adapt to new activities to enjoy life!

February is month so let’s take good of ours!!!

2/1: 120 (after coffee and green tea this AM, so maybe not too accurate) will weigh tomorrow AM

This is my first post on the boards, but I've been reading them off and on for a couple years. I'm hoping this will help hold me accountable for making healthier choices.
Started 30 day shred about five days ago and plan on sticking with it for all of February and combine extra cardio starting on Monday. Good luck to everyone!
