Don't let the snow stop you from getting up and getting out there! We can do this! I got up and we had like 2 inches of snow out there and thought there was no way..just going to the store to get coffee next door I can feel it was hard and icy with the mix of snow..but go out and there and try your best and stay active through these long, winter months!

I walked to work this morning through snow that was up to my knees at some points and up to my shins in most. We live at the top of a big hill. It is about four miles to work and it took about an hour and ten minutes. Getting there wasn't bad, but after four hours, the manager said that I could go home. Going up the big hill in the snow was tough going, but I made it back and it still took an hour and ten minutes! I was shocked!!! Everyone stay safe out there! xx0

I can't wait to get some real snow on the ground so I can break out the snowshoes!0

It's not the snow that bothers me, it's the -20C, -25C weather outside lol What should I do?0

We are having a big snowstorm even as we speak (write)! My 20 minute commute turned into 45 minutes, but at least I made it in. Several people in my office didn't. I am fortunate that my office has installed a workout room in one of the storerooms and I can work out there.0

Layers, hats. gloves..do what you can to stay warm! Sometimes i have to swear a shirt, a hoodie, then a jacket with hat, scarf, and gloves and I'm still freezing my butt off lol
I have a pair of sweat pants and i can throw on my windbreaker pants on top of that.0 -
that reminds me - I could go ice-skating. 30min would probably burn off that 0,75L of pepsi I drank (ex-roomie had ordered food and got an extra bottle)0

Get out and keep your walk cleared every day and you'll get a good calorie burning workout that you can add to your log. :-)0

Ditto! I've heard people say its like rollerblading and other say it's nothing like it. I know Rosa Parks Circle (Grand Rapids) has open skate in the winter and i think they still offer lessons as well.0

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!0 -

It's snowing here too right now but just enough to cover the roads but not enough to shovel :-( I'm looking forward to getting out and shoveling some of that white stuff for exercise. I must be crazy...lol!0
