Woke up this morning to a nice view out the window:

Oh wait, wrong picture….

I headed out to the gym in the snow, because schools were just delayed at the time, so I figured that the snow would end soon.  I did the following workout:

• Chinups:  2
• Romanian barbell deadlift:  3 sets of 8 at 75 pounds

Alternating sets:

• Barbell bench press:  3 sets of 8 at 65 pounds (hard!)
• Seated lat row:  3 sets of 8 at 70 pounds

Alternating sets:

• Reverse lunges with 1 dumbell on shoulder: 3 sets at 20 pounds
• Arnold press: 3 sets of 10 with 10 pound dumbbells
• Plank:  3 sets with 90 second holds.

The planks were hard today.  I did okay with the first 2 sets, then had to touch down my knees on the 3rd.

While I was working out (and I was the only one at the gym!) the radio began listing schools closures instead of delays.  It was snowing pretty hard, so I decided to not do cardio and just go home.  Good thing, too.  We ended up with 9 inches of snow!

That meant no Wednesday bagel…booooo!!!!  Oh well.  Had a nice warm and nummy breakfast of cream of wheat cooked with a banana, cocoa powder, and topped with almond butter and a few sprinkles of dark chocolate chips.

After doing it bit of work, it was time to shovel the driveway!  Here I am all ready to go out and shovel.

I forgot that shoveling is not only cardio, but it is a strength workout as well.  I was already tired, too.  But, at least it is done.  We have a wimpy electric snowblower, which can’t handle the packed stuff at the end of the driveway from the plows, so that is done by hand still.

Happy days:

Lunch time was an egg sandwich.  You all know the drill!

This anjou pear was delightful, too!

This is one of those days where I am so thankful that I work at home and don’t have to commute in this stuff.  I need to really remember that when I get frustrated.

I had a blanket and a cat on my lap while working for extra warmth.  Plus, John made lattes!

Ornament of the day:

America runs on Dunkins, right?  We do get coffee from there.  In fact, DD is about 1/2 mile from my house and I pass it on one of my regular run routes.  My sister got me this ornament.  I do like donuts, but they are pretty rare for me nowadays.

Mondo stirfry for dinner!  I used 2 veggies in it!  Shredded brussel sprouts and broccoli, plus some chicken and teryaki sauce.  It made a huge plate.  Plus a kiwi.

I am going to try to fiddle with the comments so that hopefully they will notify those who want to be.  We will see if it works!

Question:  Do you run on Dunkins?
