thwarted by weather and work

no bike commuting since last saturday (jan 8). :( i've been discouraged by forecasts of snow and then actual snowfall and the resulting slush, confused /nervous car drivers, and lack of space on the shared roadways. plus 12+ hour work days and eating takeout on top of that has not made this week a particularly active/healthy one.  it's amazing how distinct the contrast is between how i feel this week compared to last (i.e. much worse!), even though it doesn't seem like a handful of rides to and from work would make that much of a difference, but i guess it does!
