Stay Active During the Winter Months With These Tips

By Phat in My 40's, Health Guide Wednesday, February 10, 2010
During the past week, it has snowed twice in the Washington, DC area.  The first snow was enough to close school but not keep people home.  The second snow was record breaking and will have us shut down for days.  The snow on my picnic table measured two feet deep Saturday afternoon be...

     Wow you are sure getting the snow!  Here in Idaho, we are not getting much. As a matter of fact, we need more snow here.  It has been a really mild winter for us.

     Thanks for the great article and the info. on the calorie burners.  I will use that.  I have often wondered how may calories I burn doing different activities, and now I have a way to find out.

     As far as the Winter Olympics,...I love to watch them all!!!  They really are helping to motivate me to Move!!! 

     Starting weight = 220.  Weight now = 211.  BP 118/78.  Need to burn more calories with exercise!!!

Hi Rena,

 

Can you believe that after I wrote this post we got ANOTHER two feet of snow just days later?  The big plowtrucks finally came through my neighborhood just this past Tuesday which is the day my car was finally dug out.  It's been absolutely crazy and I'm ready for spring.

 

Good job on the 211lbs.  That's so cool to hear.  If my body drops another .3 lbs by Sunday morning (which is the day I've designated as my weekly weigh-in), I will be down exactly 10lbs so far.  That sounds exciting, but percentage wise it is not very much.  Only 3.7%.  Absolutely better than nothing though.  :)

 

I really appreciate using this app and find it really easy and somewhat of a motivator.

 

Last night I watched the men's freeskate and, wow, Evan Lysacek won the gold.  He was great!!  Everything looked tight and clean.

     I can't believe all the snow you are getting.  You are burning lots of calories out shoveling snow!  Excellent Job on the 10lbs!  Keep up the good work and wish for warm weather!

     I'm still doing my food journal.  That seems to help me keep track of what I eat.  I'm going to start keeping track of calories burned too.  Thought that might be a good motivator.

     Keep posting.  It helps me a lot!
