Snow Days!!

Howdy from the frozen south!! We have had a couple of days of snow and ice and are effectively shut down! I work for the school system and we have had 2 days off because of the weather now. Not sure about tomorrow yet but its not going to be much above freezing today so I don't know if the ice will have a chance to melt any and tonight is going to be a hard freeze so I guess we'll just wait and see what tomorrow holds.

I have managed to stay under my calorie goals even though it's my tom so I've been eating lots of sweets (this time it was Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream). I have stuck with my workout schedule so Friday's weigh in will tell the tale. I don't always crave sweets during this time. A lot of time I want salty stuff but this month it's definitely been sweets cravings! And being stuck at home because of the weather hasn't helped. I've got cabin fever and my boys are praying for another day out of school but if I don't get out of here soon I'm gonna start pulling my hair out!

On a more positive note I found my WII Sports game!! I was very upset because it was lost (how does something like that get lost??) and I wanted to use it for some additional cardio. I looked for it, hubby looked for it 1 looked for it and we couldn't find it anywhere! Then 2 found it!!! Yaayyyayyyyyayyyy!!! Where was it? you may ask. Well, I'll tell you. It was on the coffee table sitting on a drink coaster. Yep, right there in plain site and NO ONE saw it!! Ugh, we looked at it for 3 days! I'm glad 2 found it for me though. I need to think of a reward for him.

Alrighty, my peeps I'm gonna head off and do some laundry. Sounds like fun huh? Keep on keeping on!!

Chick fil a

was not real nice to me today! The people were fine it was the food that was not nice to me! My oldest is in highschool and sometimes he likes for me to bring him something special to eat instead of always having to eat school lunches. I make him give me money for his "special" food (I pay for his school lunches) and I sometimes will buy something for myself when I pick up his food. Today he wanted Chick fil a and while I was sitting in the drive thru lane I decided that a chicken sandwich sounded pretty darn good! And it was good! All yummy and chicken-y with those pickle slices and some mayo.....Well, it was yummy to eat it but just a few minutes after I finished I was not feeling so good. It was like that chicken sandwich got in my stomach and formed a huge ball then grew and grew and grew! I felt like there was a bowling ball in there. It was awful! I don't eat fast food very often but it's never made me feel like that. I'm thinking it will be a while before I eat it again.
By the time I got home from work I had a raging headache. I took some Advil and laid down for about an hour and that seemed to help mostly. The bad thing was I could still kind of feel it. Like the place in my head where the headache was wasn't painful anymore but it just felt like, I don't know how to explain it. Like it didn't hurt but I was just more aware of that particular area in my brain. When I got up hubby and oldest son were watching a movie so I finished watching with them. I had pretty much decided that I wasn't going to work out today. With the tummy trouble and the headache and then it was late I figured I would just use this as a rest day. But when the movie was over I was feeling better so I put on my shoes and jumped on the treadmill. So I ended up getting my workout today! WooHoo! I didn't have to talk myself into it or half-ass it or anything. I just jumped up there and got it done! Sounds like progress to me!!
