fat does not keep you warm

Nov 13, 2019

Twelve degrees right now is a big warm-up from yesterday. It’s REALLY cold here in southern Indiana.

Brrrr!

Random fact of the day: Did you know that only brown fat keeps you warm? Most of the fat in our body is white (found under the skin and surrounding internal organs). Brown fat is mainly found in babies… and chocolate labs.

Dharma loves the snow.

Speaking of fat — Weight Watchers came out with two new plan variations. You can pick what works best for you — the purple plan (tons of no point foods but you get almost NO points to spend), the green plan (limited number of no point foods but more daily points) or just stay on the blue plan (moderate list no point foods and dailies). If you switch, they say you should try the plan for 2 weeks. I’ve had 3 plans in 2 days.

My favorite brother is team purple where he gets to eat a whole bunch of tasteless crap. I bailed on that plan because who eats oatmeal without brown sugar and milk? I bailed on green because my typical breakfast went from 4 points to 12 (over half of what you get for the day on that plan). Guess I’ll stick with team blue. But only because fat doesn’t keep you warm.

And finally, Disney + launched yesterday! Yippee! Just last night we watched the very first Star Wars movie, Moana (for the bajillionith time) and a documentary. What else is there to do when you’re only moderately fat and it’s 9 degrees F?

How low will it go - snow and frigid temps in Indiana.
