Walking in Sub-zero Temperatures - Actifit: January 1 2022
Happy New Year, everyone! I’m getting my motivation back after a few weeks of finding that I just could not overcome the combination of holiday chaos and inertia/exhaustion resulting from the holiday chaos! After posting on Actifit consistently every day with very few skipped days, all of a sudden over the holidays I was skipping two or three days a week.
Not anymore! It’s January, time for fresh starts and renewed motivation. Here we go!
Today was a bright fresh day, but wow it was brutally cold. The thermometer said -9 (Fahrenheit) when I woke up this morning. It had “warmed up” to -2 by the time I got out for my walk.
Here’s me at the end of my jaunt around the trails. You can see the condensation of frozen breath on the scarf I had pulled over my face to fashion a balaclava.
It really was a pretty day! And I met this cute husky who was walking his human.
I was dressed in all the right gear, and so was the other human, so we talked about dogs for a while in a snowy meadow.
To be able to withstand the cold, you need layers that insulate. I wear a very warm hat (in case that’s not obvious), a thick snow parka, a scarf, heavy snow gloves, snow pants, heavy snow boots, and on very cold days like today I also have warmers in my boots and gloves!
It’s worth it. Being out in the snow is incredibly invigorating. I can only say that someday you must try it to know what I’m talking about, if you never have done so. It’s like an extra dose of oxygen and sunshine. I honestly think it would be great therapy for depression!
Anyway, here are a few more pictures from my walk through the park.
Thank you for visiting! And thank you to @wesphilbin for hosting #thoughtfuldailypost.

Wow -9 F is -22 C for us in Canada. Vancouver usually hovers between 0-5 C in winter. This year has been cold (as low as -7) but -22 is really chilly.
Wish you warmer days in the new year. ❄️
Thank you, @litguru. It will certainly warm up soon. It fluctuates between milder freezing temperates and brutal freezing temperatures. 😂
Happy New Year 2022! Best wishes! 😄
You too, @wittywheat!
You're well and truly wrapped up there!! You'll stay nice and warm dressed like that 👍Gorgeous Husky as well... We have had really mild weather here in Ireland lots of rain, but unseasonably warm, though I see it's to drop to sub zero later this week... My boys have been praying for snow! 🤣
Bring them to Minnesota, @ablaze. 😁
Ok, if you've room for the five of us.... Just looking at flights now :)
Happy New Year!

YUCK!
I know you seem to enjoy the cold, but I dont care for it anymore. When I was younger, it didnt bother me. After I hit 50 or so, I was done with it!!!
Happy New Year!!!
Ha ha. I totally understand that, @old-guy-photos. But I wager I'm older than you and for me it makes me feel so alive! I'm past my days of snow camping and really roughing it, but an hour walk in the very brisk cold with that blanket of snow all around and the cold breeze whispering in the trees, and I am absolutely transported. Plus I just love the four seasons in their full glory! Thanks for stopping by!
Thank you!
