LOL, we have a lot of snow here too. In fact, I think we got 8 - 10 inches yesterday. However, our vehicles are in the garage so I don't ever have to clean them off....Darcy

Darcy, if you really want to appreciate spring then you should come to Michigan and dig out your car and drive on icy snow covered roads! I HATE winter and I can't wait for it to be over!

Praying for spring/summer, Jen

Impressive Carolyn!! We have also been getting a ton of snow. I don't mind it too much cuz it doesn't affect me too much. DH takes care of removing it, and our vehicles are in the garage and what-not. I think it's going to make me really appreciate spring though!

to start the day, i shovelled snow for 90 mins... ugh!! will

this ever end?!?this evening i ran on the elliptical for 46 mins - 326 cal burn... that was fun! got my heart rate up to 92% of max and kept it there for a song. most of the time i was around 80% of

max HR.then i wanted to do a bit with my upper body, so i grabbed tamilee webb's 'tight on time:hot spots' and did the warmup, arms & shoulders workout, and the stretch segment. that only took 20

mins, so it was a good add-on. tamilee uses 3 lb dumbells and does a bunch of combinations for the arms, shoulders, chest and back. i thought that the twists that she put on the standard exercises, and the combos, were fun and interesting. i should

have used 5's though. i didnt because TL said she was only using 3's because she knew what was coming up! LOL. this workout would be good for an upper-beginner (using the 3's or lighter) and all intermediates (using 5's or higher). 20 mins, 99 cal

burn.tonight i wasnt to use my stretch book while i watch tv ('the easy stretching workout' by karen smith'). ive looked through it and it is comprehensive. she uses a band for some of the

stretches, and i like that. i think that i will spend 60 mins doing that and give myself a 100 cal burn for the effort.tomorrow, i will have to walk the dog (chinook) because i did not walk him this morning. it was windy and i hate that! i also

plan on doing some more cardio segments from one of the caribbean workout dvds.:*carolyn.
