We were hit with a big storm on Tuesday afternoon and evening and an arctic blast of cold temperatures. Luckily this year we didn't lose power so we had heat. Also, luckily, school was cancelled so I didn't have to make my hour long commute in bad weather. My daughter and I spent the day at home reading and watching shows together. All in all, a great day!
I got a Fitbit Flex at the beginning of January and I have to say I absolutely love it and don't regret spending the money on it at all. It really encourages me to get off my butt and move. Since I like to read and knit so much, I can easily sit for hours on end especially when there is winter weather. So, I bundled up and went out on a walk. It was cold, but not unbearable. I just made sure I had a scarf to cover my face. I walked for about 40 minutes until my boots started rubbing my ankles badly. I didn't reach my goal of 10,000 steps so I went out later to shovel my car and walked around the block to complete my goal. Not a big deal at all!!
Of course, I made sure to track all of my food. A friend gave us some venison and I tried it for the first time. I've always been too scared to try it in the past. I'm not a huge meat eater. It kind of has always grossed me out, but the venison wasn't bad! I could eat it again. I think it is much healthier than the beef we get from the store which are raised on an unnatural diet. Plus, it helps control the deer population which has been destroying the native plants in our area. Overall, I made good choices except maybe I had a little too much dark chocolate. :)
Here's to a 3 day work week!
