i lost my boots.

I hear more people put on weight in the winter. Bears do for sure.

These must be the people who don't leave their homes. They complain about the cold. They sit and eat and watch TV until the warmth returns. It would make so much more sense for these people to not live in a place that gets cold. Then maybe there wouldn't be such a ridiculous obesity problem in this country.

I feel like people should lose more weight in the winter months.

Think about it.

In order to go anywhere, layers are mandatory. Many layers. You wear these layers in the car as it warms up. You don't take them off in the car because you're just running to the store. Ten minute ride tops.

Then the sweating begins.

Sure, you could drive without the heat on. But you don't. And you could take off the coat. But you don't. It's called water weight.

I have a different technique.

I bought boots a couple years ago. These aren't you average winter boots. No, no. They are snowmobile boots. I'd say a couple pounds each. I decided that wearing them daily in the winter months would not only keep me nice and toasty, the extra weight would help burn a calorie or two.

People laugh. That's fine.

We'll see who's laughing when spring rolls around and my legs are toned. Yeah, I said it.
