Hey everyone!  Happy Halloween!

“The Great Meltdown of ’09″ is happening today…. thanks to a beautiful, sunny day in the mid-50s,  that 2 feet of snow is quickly disappearing.  YAY! 

Speaking of two feet….

Ha ha ha! 

Did you get your exercise today in order to burn off the Halloween candy that you will be taking from the treat bowl tonight?   I will be doing mine shortly after I publish this post.  I’ve been enjoying my yoga streak this week and may keep it going.  But the sunshine is also calling to me, so I may have to throw on my water-resistant trail runners and get outside for a Vitamin D boost!

Yesterday was a very full day, so I didn’t end up getting to eat much. 

Ezekial toast with almond butter and honey for breakfast:

A green smoothie for lunch:

And huevos rancheros for dinner (eggs poached in green chile sauce and slapped on a tortilla):

I think you may be as surprised as me that there was NO Larabar yesterday!  (say what??)

So I have to tell you that I am a little nervous for the time change tonight. While I am always very excited to have daylight earlier in the morning, I’m already falling asleep WAY TOO EARLY at night!  Last night I started reading at about 7:00 and next thing I know, it’s 8:18.  Somewhere in the first few pages, my eyes betrayed me and CLOSED!  And this is even a book that I am enjoying!  Had the time been changed already I seriously would have been sleeping before 7:00 pm.  I am Lame with a capital L.  Really with a capital A, M and E too.  

In my defense, I was beat.  After the early morning 60 minute fight with the snowblower/shovel session (somehow I actually BROKE a snowshovel!) I decided around 10:30 to go back out to battle the rest of that sidewalk that I’d given up on with the snowblower (the impenetrable wall of snow/ice!)  I did conquer it finally.  I worked up a sweat and ended up shedding my coat and fleece to just snowpants and a T-shirt! 

Then…. to really get my workout on… I needed to re-dig the trench in the ice/slush in the curb gutter along the front side of our house.  This required a real shovel and a whole lot of elbow grease.  An hour later, I came in for my green smoothie, sweaty and fatigued.  It was awesome! 

Well blog buds, as it’s a holiday I’ll keep this one short!  Hope you are all having a WONDERFUL Halloween so far!  Have a safe and happy evening!  Hope you get all treats and no tricks!! :)  

And don’t forget to turn those clocks BACK tonight!

See you next time!
