The bad news: I had pasta with pesto sauce for dinner.
The good news: I did 13 flights of stairs just now, in addition to what I did earlier today.
It's just too cold again today, with a high of 32. For many years, I didn't mind going out to exercise in winter if I was properly bundled up. Now, I'm not even sure that would do it. I'm just disliking the cold more and more.
My father, who is diabetic, is complaining of very cold legs. I was going to buy him a heating blanket or pad, but i've been reading about how that's not a good idea for diabetics because they have no sensation of heat and could be burned.
Does anyone have any suggestions or experience for this?
The good & the bad

My late brother was a type II diabetic and found much comfort in compression socks. I live in an extremely cold climate and we all wear silk long johns if we'll be outdoors for an extended period. Feel nice on the skin, layers trap body heat to keep you warm.

As for the pasta with pesto, that sounds like a great dinner. If you want to make it healthier you can always use whole wheat pasta and toss in some veggies.
