Baby, it's cold outside!!

It's a good thing I don't live in Omaha! One day it's 85 and sticky, and the today it's 55, feels like 45, cloudy and damp. It's a good day to sit by the fire and drink wine - but it's only 3:00, so I'll wait a bit - heehee...however, cold is a good thing - you burn more calories trying to stay warm, but that's only if you're cold. If it's cold outside, and you're inside sitting by a warm fire, you're probably going to gain weight. We tend to move less in the winter months - there's football, the fire, the wine in front of the fire - not to mention the holidays! So don't hibernate; look for opportunities to get outside and move around, and think about getting a couple of workout videos for the days it's too dreary to go out. You're body will try to store fat in an effort to keep your core (insides) warm, and it's up to you who wins. Enjoy your weekend! Melissa
