A good day...

Winter is here! Yesterday we awoke to a windchill of -1F(-18C), I love it!! We are enjoying a week of snow and cold temps that are sure to put anyone in a holiday mood! Since we will not be home for Christmas and we will be packing soon, my husband and I put up our Christmas tree this weekend. So we are starting the holidays early you could say. A part of me is sad that we will not be in the US to celebrate Christmas, but I know we will be home before too long.

As far as my knee, I slipped on the ice this weekend. I did not fall down, but I did manage to aggravate my knee somewhat so we bought a brace for me to wear. I am hoping it will provide me more support as I walk around on the icy roads as well as during my workouts. I took today off to give my knee a bit more rest, and hopfully the rest will pay off. I did manage however to meet all my other goals. So today was a success after all!!
