weather + traffic = RANT... and some other reflections

I think I'm going to start tracking my commute time, this is getting ridiculous.
I don't think my drive has been less than 1 hour and 10 minutes any day yet this year!!!
this morning it was 1 hour and 28 minutes... UGH!!! it should be illegal to spend that much time in the car each day. I am dreading going home tonight. last night I explored all over the escarpment :) takings some really cool back roads, and almost had a few run ins with tractors :)

I also think it should be illegal for people to drive without snow tires, or to drive with HUGE piles of snow on their cars. They can not possibly see out their windows when their cars are completely buried like that. GRRRRRR, also, if you dont feel confident driving in this weather STAY OFF THE ROAD. Some people (typically in Toyota Corollas, for some reason) drive 20Km an hour in an 80 zone... what the F&%$#!!!
these people also have a foot of snow on the hood of their car and the back windscreen is completely covered AND they are driving around on thread bare summer tires.

it is ironic, since the weather is causing the difficult drive and the weather is the whole reason I drive the distances I do for work :) ahhhh

must take a deep breath and just forget about the drive....

wow it says it is -22 in Guelph but only -14 in Oakville, that is a BIG difference for 60 kms... hopefully it warms up in Guelph today so Bridget can get out at recess.

So anyway, sorry about the rant... back to the topic "Learning to Lose".

so far My Move More Eat Well has been going strong, but like with anything, yesterday I had had enough, so I chose to not get my steps in. I am glad I didn't, I needed a rest day, and chose to go to bed early instead :)
On Tuesday when I went to the gym, (and I hadn't 'worked out' in 3 weeks), Tracey put me through the gears, lunges, squats, wall balls, ball slams etc... and my rear end and hamstrings are screaming (for joy!!!) that I am back at it... it does make for some uncomfortable moments walking downstairs, sitting down, or moving in general :) so taking a night off from the 6000 steps is OK in my mind. Tonight I will double my 6 and do a minimum of 12,000 :)
This is really what I am trying to avoid. I want consistency in my moving .... I want to make sure I actually do something every day, so I will try harder next week :)
