I found out that, strangely enough, shoveling is quite invigorating and energizing. I had to shovel for at least 30 minutes after I got home from work (there was plenty of snow but it was not bad enough to exhaust me) and when I was done, I changed and went straight on the treadmill and stayed for 45 minutes.
Although ...... ummmm ....... I have to confess ....... that I really had to ........ because yesterday, I went to McD's!
Yeah, I know, I know, one can hardly sin more ..... but I feel better now because I fessed up!
