let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

We're supposed to be hit with a huge snowstorm tomorrow... my sister's school already has an early dismissal... my brother's school will probably be cancelled... and I'm keeping my fingers crossed :) let's just say that I'm in a snow angel-making kind of mood, it's been too long.
I spent the afternoon running errands so lunch was eaten in parts on the go. I hate having to do this, first of all because I understand the importance of sitting down while eating, and secondly because I don't ever feel completely satisfied. Over a 3-hour span I ate a Nut Delight KIND bar ( I really like this one, all it is is mixed nuts binded with honey, very crunchy and filling without anything unnatural), a bag of baby carrots, and an apple. Then when I finally got back, still kinda hungry, I had a 1/2 cup of Fage yogurt and a 1/2 of a grapefruit. Only plus was that grapefruit which was unbelievably delicious! Good thing WholeFoods had them at only $0.99, I just couldn't resist! ;)
This was my yummy mess of a dinner... Baked Penne with broccoli, cauliflower, ricotta and mozzarella cheese. Thanks Mom :). I'm exhausted after such a busy day so I'm off to settle in with one of my new books and a big mug of tea. Have a great night everyone!
*Edited to Add: I've been feeling a little stiff today so I decided to try my Mom's new Yoga Conditioning to Weight Loss DVD. Well. It was definitely just what the doctor ordered! Unfortunately I haven't done any yoga since my Body Balance classes in Santiago, Chile which was well over a month ago so I'm not as flexible as I was but with combination workout that lets you choose your fitness level I was able to do a full partially modified session with ease. Not that it was easy :) just doable. If anyone is trying to get into yoga for the first time or just get back into like me, I'd say this is a great buy. Soon I'll be able to move onto the slightly modified session and then finally, unmodified conditioning session. I'm looking forward to improving my flexibility and fitness! My 4 Gaiam DVDs (Cardio Pilates, Yoga Burn, Dancer's Body Workout, and the new one above) are going to be my answer to indoor workouts when the cold weather leaves me without any desire to get moving. How do you stay fit during the winter months?
