Snow Day

So just as I was completely geared up for getting back to my routine, Rock Hill got about five inches of snow dumped on it today.  I don't know where you live, but around here, five inches shuts us down.  That means no work and no driving today.

Of course, I was excited by the extra day off. I saw no reason why it should affect my plans.  When I got up, I thought that I would just eat my meals as planned and that if it cleared up I could drive to the gym and have time for an extra-long workout.

However, the beautiful white stuff continued to fall most of the day so I didn't want to venture out.  Instead, I went with workout plan B. Sparkpeople.com has free, streaming 10 minute workout videos on its site that I've never tried, but always wanted to try.  I did two, and while they were not my ideal form of working out, they did help me work up a little bit of a sweat.  After that I spent 20 minutes on my roommate's stationary bike, which again is not my ideal workout, but it did the trick. So while it wasn't my best workout ever,  at least I got it done!

Tomorrow's a scheduled run day, and I also need to do some weights.  I seriously hope I can make it to the gym, although work has already announced that it's closed again! (Luckily, even when school closes, they keep our marvelous gym open to give the kids something constructive to do.)

As for my other goals,  I drank all of my water and did my planks.  I also stuck to my meals, even though being home all day makes me want to snack all day long.  So even with a highly unusual first day back into a routine, I accomplished all of my goals.

Hope you enjoyed your snow day! Right now, I have one more snack on my schedule and some room in my calories for a homemade hot chocolate, and I'll talk to you later!
