good morning everybody! - heck it's 11:30 here.
We have snow - about 6" I think. I was going to go shovel the stuff for my workout, but all of a sudden my neighbor next door showed up with his snowblower. then the neighbor across the street showed up with his 4-wheeler plow. They ruined my plan! Oh the kindness of friends and how it can mess up a good thing sometimes. Well, I dont' like the elliptical all that much. I'm bored with Ms. Sansone. My indoor-outdoor thermometer says it is 28*, I bundled up and took the dogs for a walk. We walked in the snow, through the snow on the bike trial for 70 minutes. I am pooped! Poor ol' Kailey dog kept turning around to look at me, giving me the paws-up to turn around and head for home. Finally I gave in.
On the way out on the trail I saw foot prints coming into town. First 2 sets and at some points a third. On our way back we ran into the owners: an elderly gentleman and 2 elderly women. What the heck were they doing out there? What the heck was I doing out there?? I gotta give them credit. They probably got in a 6 mile walk today in the snow. Not uphill both ways, cuz our trail is flat, but the point is - they were out there, undaunted!
This morning I made Annette's flax muffin for breakfast this morning. As is, I tallied it as 7 WW points. So this morning I made mine w/out margarine or olive oil. Instead of that, I used my homemade-with-splenda applesauce. OMG - people it was awesome. I put extra applesauce on top and a little lite coolwhip and had me some breakfast dessert. It was still 7 points with the added topping, but so worth it. YUM.
Lunch is meatball soup. I'm starting to get chilly from my walk. Gonna eat some soup and go take a nap. The fresh air has done me in.
I get to go to a little party this evening. Atlanta Bob, who has never played piano even in Jamaica, is staying w/his sister who is surprising her hubby. I made the guest list. So off I go.
Make it a great day people!

I added cocoa and coconut flavoring to the muffin today :) Awesome!!
But you were out there too! Undaunted!
Sounds like a great walk. My Basset could not handle the cold on his feet. He's out and back in under 5 minutes.
LOL at Atlanta Bob, thanks!
Have fun at the party.

Hilarious!
Well done for walking in the cold! Have a fun evening!
I am so sick of this snow too! But ours was fluffy so I didn't have to bring out the snowblower!
how was the party?
I can only imagine how ready you are for SPRING, Linda!
I saw yesterday that we spring the clocks forward early this year (3.8?) at least then it will be chilly and LIGHT!
Miz.
Congrats on getting a walk in, in that kind of weather. A muffin a day will keep the doctor away or there is some saying like that LOL.. oh maybe that was an apple.. muffins are better lol
Hey girl, shovelling snow is a great workout. But I'd be happy that the neighbours cleared it out and go for a walk instead :) Just as you did!
We got plenty of snow yesterday too. It's so pretty, but I am sick to death of it.
