Coldest day in years I believe. It was right about 0 degrees this morning, but the wind wasn't too bad. Windchill was only about ten below. Light flurries coming down. Nobody out but the plow trucks.
It was beautiful.
And with the proper gear it wasn't even uncomfortable. I think I'd like to add a wool bottom base layer for mornings like this but that's only a small issue.
Even better, I knocked off the mileage without the slightest difficulty, then grabbed a shovel and pushed the few inches of snow around without batting an eyelash. I cannot believe how far I've come in terms of physical condition.
On the mental side, I made an important decision yesterday. At the risk of jumping the gun I've got something I'm going to do months earlier than planned. I will probably encounter rejection, but that's OK. Better that than a missed opportunity. I am nervous as hell about this.
Edit: Shot down. Crap. No longer nervous. Mostly past sad but still a little ways to go on that. Intellectually I know that it just means an opportunity to go in a different direction, but still .... shit.
Breakfast: ~ 2 oz salami, 2 slices cheddar, coffee

Lunch: Bowl of leftover vegetable beef soup. I don't remember if I took a picture or not, it was the same as yesterday though.
Dinner: Leftover spicy beans with a couple ounces of Meijer lower sodium turkey mixed in.

Also: Chateau Ste Michelle riesling. Opened a bottle. Quantity to be determined, but it's like to be most of the bottle. It's a drinking night, for which I will pay come 4:30 am.
Exercise: Usual walk. I had to backtrack a few times to avoid snow plows. I also shoveled the driveway when I got home. The pedometer said 3.9 miles in 1 hour 13 minutes. Time is about right at least. I just plain forgot to do push ups and sit ups, I might have to remember to do those tonight.
Feel really good today. Quality rest, good food, exercise, happy nerves.
