Happy New Year, everyone! I’m getting my motivation back after a few weeks of finding that I just could not overcome the combination of holiday chaos and inertia/exhaustion resulting from the holiday chaos! After posting on Actifit consistently every day with very few skipped days, all of a sudden over the holidays I was skipping two or three days a week.
Not anymore! It’s January, time for fresh starts and renewed motivation. Here we go!
Today was a bright fresh day, but wow it was brutally cold. The thermometer said -9 (Fahrenheit) when I woke up this morning. It had “warmed up” to -2 by the time I got out for my walk.
Here’s me at the end of my jaunt around the trails. You can see the condensation of frozen breath on the scarf I had pulled over my face to fashion a balaclava.
It really was a pretty day! And I met this cute husky who was walking his human.
I was dressed in all the right gear, and so was the other human, so we talked about dogs for a while in a snowy meadow.
To be able to withstand the cold, you need layers that insulate. I wear a very warm hat (in case that’s not obvious), a thick snow parka, a scarf, heavy snow gloves, snow pants, heavy snow boots, and on very cold days like today I also have warmers in my boots and gloves!
It’s worth it. Being out in the snow is incredibly invigorating. I can only say that someday you must try it to know what I’m talking about, if you never have done so. It’s like an extra dose of oxygen and sunshine. I honestly think it would be great therapy for depression!
Anyway, here are a few more pictures from my walk through the park.
Thank you for visiting! And thank you to
