Oh the Weather Outside is Frightful….

Dig Snow

But the Fire is so Delightful (wait a minute we don’t have a fire)  LOL….well you know how the song goes.  ;)

Yup….in the middle of a blizzard here in lovely Michigan.  Snow is coming at the house sideways, huge wind  gusts and icy roads.  Guess I’m staying home for the day :)

I was supposed to take my daughter and the baby to the docs, but we cancelled that at 7:30 this morning.  I HATE SNOW!!! My absolute favorite dream is to have a winter home in Florida or South Carolina I’m getting too old for this cold crap….”huge sigh”….thank goodness my brother has a plow on his truck, and our driveway is always clean ;) and for free  hehehehehehe “big cheesy grin”  LOL!!!

They say walking in the snow, or on the beach burns more calories then regular walking.  If I could dig out my boots, I’d bundle myself up and walk my property line.  We have about 1 3/4 acres, with hills.  I do love the looks of the snow, just not the driving in it :(

So I’ve been doing well with my shake, Orange Juice, and V8 Juice and 1 sensible meal.

I do take on all the challenges I was given. about the nightly munchies…but it really makes it difficult when my husband breaks down in the grocery store and buys this 4 pound box of chocolates (the cheap ones, Zachery).  He loves them and gets them every year, problem is he had a box only 2 weeks ago, and its gone.  He also picked out some other chocolate and its all on the dining room table.  I’m going to have to lock it up and put in our safe.  CANDY IS THE DEVIL…..GGGGGRRRRRR

I did pick up some healthy garden salsa and Tostidos, which isn’t bad if you only have a few.  That will get me through the crunchy, salty, and spicy cravings.  And all in all pretty healthy.  Also got more celery, carrots and still need lowfat or fat free Ranch.  We also found some beautiful clementines and I love them.  Nice and small, sweet and hits the spot. 

I’m convinced in time I will learn as you all have that eating before bed is the WORST!!!!!!!!

Well Buddys, whether you are living in the cold states, or loving the sunshine states, may you all have a wonderful Monday full of love and blessings :)

    So is this a real picture of where you live? We get snow bad here in Wisconsin - but I have never seen it that tall. Hang in there.

    Please tell me that’s not your house Jane! Oh my! It’s a record breaking 61 degrees here today. Tomorrow it’s to be back in the 30’s. I wish we had snow!!! I can remember the one year that we were making Christmas dinner for my family and for Tim’s family. They all got there and we got hit with a blizzard and lost power. Luckily we were cooking with gas! LOL! It was definitely memory making. Wish I could be there with you and we could trample through the snow together. :)
