Today is a bad day for me. I skipped the gym and ate donuts. My son came home to visit, so I went to the bakery this morning. The donuts all looked so good…and that smell……yummm!! I had such a sugar high and then…….boom ……that big drop…..I’m ready for a nap. This shows me how much better I feel when I eat right and exercise. Tomorrow I’ll get back on track.

We are suppose to be getting 3-6 inches of snow. Since my husband does uses the snow blower, out of the following calorie burners, I’ll just be doing the first two.
