I feel like an exercise imposter just using shoveling as my workouts! but it is exertion, I can feel my heartbeat stepping up, I am using my muscles, and balance. Here is a pic of the length of our path and driveway that is done by hand.

Obviously, I'm not keeping up with my exercise! Miserable cold and the inability to breathe has kept me sidelined for almost 2 weeks. I did 2 miles yesterday and thought I was going to die at the end. So, although I'm trying to get back on track, I think for this month and this challenge, I'm tapping out. Good luck everyone!
