Shoveling

[JerseyGirl68 1,172]

Very happy to see via My Fitness Pal that shoveling snow for two hours equals 1479 calories burned!! SWEET!!!

Hope all you North East Sleevers & families are safe.

I knew it was a calorie burner when I lived up there. It can kill you, too. Cold air constricts blood vessels and makes it dangerous. It does in lots of older folks very year.

27 inches so far and its still snowing!! Its windy & cold. The governor has banned driving. Reminds me of the Blizzard of '78!! In the past I would bake, bake bake during a snowstorm. This time, I made a chicken stir fry, made greens & onions and a zucchini & yellow squash sauté. Now I have plenty of healthy foods to eat - and plenty of snow to shovel.

Bless your heart ProudGrammy! We don't have any in the Twin Cities but expect some tonight and tomorrow. I do have a snow removal service, but I think with my weight loss I'll be able to manage next year.
