Winter olympics! Perfect weekend for it, woke up to -21 degree weather.

I’m Canadian, but that is really cold.

I was in Montreal for most of this past week, for a work meeting. Montreal was also VERY cold.

Figure skating, skiing, curling (ever done that? it’s fun!), HOCKEY — I’m excited to watch.

I finally got to the gym today, That’s one thing about travel for work – I’ve always packed gym stuff, but very rarely went to the hotel gym. This time I didn’t even bother packing anything. But that meant four full days without the a workout. That, combined with extra coffee breaks, extra carbs, buffet meals and breakfast (I don’t eat breakfast) meant I did gain some weight. Arrrggggghhhh! I was doing so well too.

Darn it.

Remember that issue with my foot before Christmas? I got an X-ray. No fracture, but evidence of arthritis, bone spurs (and bunions, which I knew about). I need to back off on high impact — or at least “modify” my exercise.

I have tried Bodypump Heavy which just rolled here in Canada. Slower reps with heavier weights. Not as much cardio but strength development is a new priority for me. Hopefully that will help.

I did “Moist” January (I finally broke the last weekend before February. Lately, if I overindulge, my sleep suffers for it.)

But on another sleep note, we got a new bed! Yippee! The last time we bought ourselves a bed was 25 years ago. Long overdue.

We went for Indian food tonight – perfect cozy meal for a weekend like this.
