The Freezing Cold.

I am here in Vancouver, where it is gray, 40 degrees and raining on and off.

But that can’t compare with what my kids are putting up with in Chicago. It’s just freezing, and it is that way in many parts of the country.

With these temperatures comes the usual eating more, staying in more (around the kitchen, which for me is always a challenge) and not moving as much.

So, I would like for you all to:

1.  Shovel snow. Now THAT’S a workout. Just make sure to layer up as you will warm up with the activity and need to take a few layers off.

2.  Workout in your home. Make sure that you have your SPRI Xertubes and Lex Loops so that you can get it done without having to go out.

3.  Careful with your eating. With more time in the house, maybe this is the time to make some of the Heartland Stew that was in my second book, “Flip The Switch.”

4.  Sleep. If you are home, take a nap and make it a point to get to sleep earlier.

5.  Drink tea, and all kinds of tea, not just green. It’s warm, it feels good to hold a hot mug and it does SO many beneficial things for your mind and body.

Stay warm,

Jim
