January 14,2011

We are finally out from under most of the snow. Our snow man is still standing and a few of the neighbors igloos and snow men are still there. It was a long week being couped up with the girls we finally went out to lunch and shopping to get over the cabin fever. Lindsay has been so happy that she has not had to go to school. I joined weight watchers again on 1/8/2011 and had my first weigh in on 1/15/2011, I lost 5.6 pounds, I also got my 5lb star. I am loving the new program. I did not have access to the e-tools any of the other times. This new program is completely different than the other times I have been on it. I walked in the snow and ice 3 times during the snow storm and really paid attention to what I was eating and it paid off big time. I am working my way back into going to the gym and weight training again, over the next couple of weeks. My neuropsycologist is going to be very pleased with me for losing weight, he has been on me about it for a long time. I know that this time I am going to accomplish my goals. I am doing it for my family, myself and most of all my girls!

SNOW DAY TOMORROW!!!

WOOHOO!!! SCHOOL'S OUT TOMORROW! Check back for photos of the sledding, snowmen or snow GIRLS, the snow angels, etc. Lindsay did not know for sure when she went to bed that she will be off tomorrow, when she gets up it's going to be hard to hold her back. I think we are going to have to play some with the neighbors and Aunt Agatha and Uncle Paul. I may spend more of my time inside because I really need to get over this cold. Once I get some good blogworthy pics I will be coming inside to blog and have some hot cocoa!

HAVE FUN & BE SAFE OUT THERE EVERYONE!! ENJOY THE SNOW DAY AND PRAY THE POWER STAYS ON! WE HAVE PLENTY OF FIREWOOD IF WE NEED IT THOUGH.
