Winter has swept into Chicago in a big way. After all those unseasonably warm days we enjoyed we've been hit with the double whammy. It rained incessantly all day yesterday and then around rush hour it turned very cold and the snow came. Taking the dog out this morning was a challenge due to the layer of ice on the sidewalks and driveways around my complex. I really really do not like ice because I really really do not like falling down. This weather puts a crimp in my walking schedule, which I kind of figured would happen at some point. I need to either look for an alternative I can do at home or start going to the gym every day so I get my cardio in. I hesitate to use the Air-Dyne exclusively because it tends to mess up my knees if I do too much. Maybe a kettlebell/bodyweight circuit could be devised. Hmm....
I've pretty much given up trying to maintain a deficit at this point. My son came home from Michigan Wednesday night and we are almost completely in Christmas mode full swing. Funny thing though, I haven't had any cravings to overeat or eat sugary treats. And I'm not going to question it but just go with what feels right. Maybe I am learning to prefer healthy foods over junk. I haven't weighed myself recently. My plan is to weigh and take pictures on New Years Day and dive back into the good fight after that. Chris and I are going up to Wisconsin to visit friends over the weekend before coming home to put up the tree and celebrate Christmas. I have one more workout tomorrow before we go so I'll post an update when I get back on Sunday.
