Took today's walk along the Nashua River rail trail. Wind chill was definitely a factor as temps stayed in teens all day. Face was frostbit! All the walking in snow and ice is taking toll on the feet. No big deal to walk on hard surfaces but slogging through several inches of snow is painful!

After walk, read some Jack London Arctic short stories (to get me in the mood for the cold weather) and watched some TV on the iPod.

Weighed myself for first time in several years today. Actually not as bad as I feared (no doubt the "boot camp" of the past two weeks helped) but a long way from where I wanted to be when I started this blog last year. I think this year, the added component of counting calories will be key to getting the weight loss I want. Just exercise by itself won't get it done if I don't keep track of what I'm eating. Once thing that amazed me is how many calories I consumed last year on drinks. That is why the drinks are way down this year.
