Feeling like a bump on a log!

I know it's the second trimester but I don't have much more energy than the first. I work from home which is great in many ways but being home all day every day I don't end up getting out and about much at all and spend most of my time working from the couch or the bed. We recently moved to MI from CA and from the city to the country so I am sort of in the middle of nowhere and it's cold which gives me even less motivation to go out. I would love to just take a 30 minute walk once a day but it's cold and walking these dirt roads is not very appealing. I feel like it's a vicious cycle of not getting any exercise and not having any energy and I don't know how to break it! Any tips would be appreciated and also for those in cold climates how do you deal with this? I feel like I am hibernating until Spring here and it's starting to get depressing. Tongue Tied

Are you able to drive to a nice park or area and walk there?

Bundle up with lots of cozy, soft and pretty attire, load up your iPod with great music and go for it

What about doing a work out DVD at home??

If you are wearing the right gear, it won't be nearly as miserable.  It took me about three years to learn my lesson moving from sunny Oklahoma to Chicago, but I didn't own a car and had to walk at least two miles each day outside just to get to and from work.  Having the right clothes to keep you warm but aren't too bulky is the key.  That and waterproof boots!!

Walk around the mall? Or like PP said workout dvds I was actually thinking of getting some. I live in WI I was born in chicago and raised in Wi and i've never been used to the cold. So as for me going outside for a walk right now? Yea that's not happening. I hibernate every winter I only go out when I absolutely need too. If not me and the kiddos are in the house. It gets boring and tiring but oh well I rather be bored than cold.
