Freeze My Way To Skinny

Whether you're running, doing sit ups or walking around the Piggly Wiggly (to date the most effective way to lose weight for this group) there are many way to lose weight. This year, I've chosen to freeze my way to skinny!

First, I live in Boston. Case in point, my front yard...


... and to put things into perspective, I have so many icicles hanging off my house I can barely see outside (see below)...


So, with all the shoveling (better than Piggly?) I needed a break. So where does a guy go in a situation like this? Canada, of course! Where else?


So, two weeks ago I headed north to Quebec Canada and experienced the frosty temperature of 26 below zero. The wind chill brought it to almost 50 below. That's almost 60 degrees below the freezing point. Now, I don't know what kind of cold you've felt in your life... but damn.


It was so cold that I ice formed in my eyelashes!


On a beautiful day like today there's nothing like a snow mobile ride to help a guy lose weight...


With a little bit of video to complete the picture...


And after a long day of riding, there's nothing like a nice thick hand-cut steak to complete the day (that's mine in the front)...


OK, so I didn't really lose weight on the trip. I actually gained a pound. Oh well, there's always the Piggly!
