Bitter Cold ! ! !

Temps dropping into the low 20's F at night. Highs around 39F. Cold and clear, but snow possible late week and/or week-end.

12-3-2013 Tues. Peter Johnson w/ poles. 2 mi. / 40 min. Polar-fleece pants (too large/long) and pull-over, Not quite warm enough but OK. Should have pulled on some sort of Anorak, or maybe an under top-layer. Polar-fleece "Goat Roper" hat, and FG gloves which are sufficient.

12-5-2013 Thurs. (Today) Intending to do Peter Johnson 2 mi. w/ the right clothes. Sorted out the polar-fleece pants, a pair w/ elastic pant-legs so they don't drag on the ground. Pants w/ tie cord waist aren't staying up. We're looking for elastic waist w/ draw cord in sweats and polar-fleece.

Generally feeling some gains in fitness: More power in the effort, less stiff, feeling better. Diet is improving some, more veggies, whole grains (rice/quinoa) cabbage salad. Bagels are too much carb, and sugar -- too large. Kirkland Multi-Grain has some sugar, but a good mix of grains, no trans fat, and OK carbs. Turkey breast, tuna, frozen fruit, yogurt.

BS has been running high -- 160 range.
