Weather Non-Delivery

We didn't get slammed overnight as expected, just a little powdery snow.  It was bitterly cold, though, with a windchill down just below zero.  As a result there was nobody out an about - I only saw one jogger.

It's going to be a busy week.

Edit:  Had a decent conversation this morning, so I'm a little upbeat about that.  Also had someone I don't see often say nice things when I ran into her yesterday.

Evening edit:  I may have worked up enough gumption to ask a question that I've been planning on asking ... several months from now.  If only I can find an opportunity to do so.  I thought I had one tonight but I blew it.  I have no expectations - the answer almost assuredly will be "no" but I think I'm going to ask anyway.

Breakfast:  ~ 2 oz salami, 1 slice cheddar, coffee

Not the most exciting picture, is it?

Glad to be back to the regular cheese.  I should really start buying the local raw milk stuff, next time I hit the health food store I'll look at it.

Lunch:  Bowl of homemade vegetable beef soup

Soup, good.  Photography skills, not so much.

A day in the fridge was helpful, the soup was very good.  Might be my favorite meal (non-pizza division) right now.

Snack:  Peanuts.  I received a ton of peanuts in the shell for the holidays, had a few.

Burned several calories getting them out of the shell...

I have not idea on count/quantity/weight, probably a couple ounces.

Dinner:  2 Bubbies dill pickles, ~ 2 oz CF cajun beef jerky, leftover pork tenderloin and spicy beans

Kicked up a few notches...

Grazing.  It was enough.

Also:  1 glass red wine.  Finished off the bottle, it was a good one.

Exercise:  C25k Week 3 Day 3.  It was cold so I stayed closer to home, less of a warmup.  Pedometer said 2.85 miles in 47 minutes, including the 90 sec jog, 90 sec walk, 3 min jog, 3 min walk, repeat routine.  Felt good other than a few moments of knee grumbling to start - actually, today was probably the best I've felt while jogging.  It actually felt pretty natural.  Super short stride length to keep my footing at all times.  Not fast but that's OK, it was enough.  Once I got going I wasn't even cold.  A good day.

Big step up in difficulty for Week 4 on Wednesday, I need to remember to get good sleep on Tuesday night (like I did last night, yay!)
