Only twenty weeks

Sitting in my easy chair savoring every bite of the delicious fudge my neighbor brought over today I look back on this wonderful year. Lots of great memories, many blessings, and another inch around my waistline. I know how this happened - too many days filled with sweet, sugary snacks and not nearly enough physical activity to burn off the resulting calories.

In just 22 weeks pools will be opening. We hope to get back to Florida and the lovely beaches. If I have any hope of getting back in anywhere even close to decent shape I'm going to have to burn more calories than I consume.

Life really is simple. The good news is I have the time - over 20 weeks - and the tools to accomplish this much needed goal. Sitting at my desk and in front of the TV at night simply don't allow me to burn the calories I need to burn.

So what is the most efficient way to shed the pounds? The answer seems simple enough - burn twice the calories.

Exercise time in Winter

It is Friggin Cold out tonite. Please excuse my language - but I was hoping to emphasize the severity of the cold. I know I don't want to even go out to my car to drive to the nice warm gym. Besides, once I'm done at the gym I'd just have to go back to my ice cold car, and drive home. No Thank You. Tonight I'll just hit the extra room and spend some time on the TreadClimber!

The butt splash

I almost landed on my butt this morning. Insisting on walking outdoors in the falling snow on slippery sidewalks was not a wise choice today. "It will do me some good to get out" I thought as I laced up my walking shoes and put on four layers of shirts. It took almost as long to dress for the cols as my brief walk lasted.

Oh, sure, the cold air on my freezing cheeks felt exhilarating at first. But on the cold slippery sidewalks I kept slipping around like i was walking on an ice rink. Getting any sort of speed was both a challenge and potentially dangerous. It didn't take long to realize the outdoor walk today was something of a waste. Then as I slipped and lost my balance for the fourteenth time - almost landing on my butt - it finally hit me.

Go home and hit the treadclimber. Burn some real calories. Get a decent workout instead of this frozen ill fated attempt at getting any level of cardio in the great outdoors today. Even in the cold of winter it is possible to eat healthy, exercise and lose weight fast!
