This lull between Christmas and New Year’s is strangely calm. I know it’s about to get crazy busy and I’m never lacking things to do, so for now I’m really enjoying the peace. It was a great day in terms of eating well and moving more. I walked to the bank during lunch and it felt good. The weather was hanging in the balance the way it does before a big storm. It was cool but not cold. I really have to hand it to people who can exercise in the cold. The weather is mild here and on the cooler days it’s tough to get motivated to go outside. I can’t imagine what it’s like in parts of the world where it *gasp* snows. Until I was 12 I lived in Ohio and Kentucky so I’m not a stranger to snow. I’ve just been in California since then so my tolerance to snow has, shall we say, weakened.
I plan to get out there again tomorrow (weather permitting). I’ve been thinking about getting a manual treadmill. I’ve looked online a bit. They’re way cheaper than electric, they’re smaller and fold up (which is perfect for our tiny apartment). I just want something here that is available when getting out of the house is not possible. It would be nice to hop on after the boys go to sleep. If any of you have any suggestions I’d love to hear them.
