90 Day Challenge - Day 43

Walking in a winter wonderland…..that’s what it felt like this morning as I briskly walked down my road.   Jack was sooo excited that we were going out for another walk.  He wanted me to run with him, but the snowboats made it difficult, eventually though he had accumulated enough snow that it was weighing him down.  Jack is a tiny dog but he could have easily been mistaken for a snowball at this point

Normally at this time of year I have had enough snow and I am desperately waiting for spring and summer to come.  But we have been really lucky and have had  mild winter.  I realize the last couple of mornings that I have been depriving myself of nature and fresh air.  So it has felt wonderful to spend time outside while I have working toward achieving my goal of a lean and healthy body. 

Exercise is addictive.  I can feel the endorphins being released it seems.  When I am walking I feel like coming back and doing another workout, or I will tell myself that I will fit it in before the end of the day.  I know that when things settle down for me that is exactly what I will do. 

February blues I think come with not getting enough exercise or fresh air…so if you are not feeling 100 percent these days I would strongly recommend a walk in the winter wonderland.
