Go to sleep and dream of snow, snow, snow, snow ...

Okay, I don't actually love snow as much as the title of this posting implies. In fact, if I could I would be living on some warm tropical island right now, enjoying the warmth and the sunshine. I'd be going outside and walking on the beach in shorts and a tank top. I'd wear flip flops every single day and enjoy the cool breeze coming off the water.

I crave a warm place to live where I can go outside and not have to worry about anything except rain keeping me from taking a walk or run (if I ever get to start running again). I crave the ability to take a hike whenever I want and go swimming year round.

But, I won't let the snow and the cold get me down or keep me from being active. I've already shoveled a little today (so my diva dog would actually go out and use the bathroom) and I intend to do some weights today. Not feeling completely up to doing any cardio but I try to lift weights on a different day than cardio anyways just to keep it from getting old and so that I can move a little every day.

I'm watching my points today, so far I've only had 7 but I also slept in so I've not eaten a ton of food today. I will meet my 27 by the end of the day since I HAVE to eat that amount every day. My goal on days like this is to not eat out of boredom. Instead, I'll find other things to do like clean, exercise or whatever else that will keep me from eating. And just in case I want a snack, I went to the store and bought a ton of fruits and veggies so that I can have something healthy to snack on while I'm snowed in.

Well, that's it for now. Not much to say ... maybe I'll go rearrange my living room now :-)
