So, I was playing on my computer today, and I found this really cool website called "tickerfactory.com". I found a weight loss tracker, which you will notice (if I did everything correctly) on the right hand side of this blog. Hopefully it will show my continued progress as I practice eating more healthy foods in the coming months. I actually joined Weight Watchers a couple of Thursdays ago, during an exceptionally cold spell, figuring that there wouldn't be too many people there. Well, since then the Thursdays with crappy weather are adding up quickly! Last week was just about as chilly, and this week looks to be extremely snowy. It's like the enemy is trying to keep me from going to the meetings, but I'm not going to cave. I really want this to work :)



In other news, because of the snow today, I didn't go to work. I'm really bummed about it, because I LOVE MY JOB!!!! Do you know how cool it is to say that?? My lead teacher called to tell me not to come in because of the snow (it took her 2 hours - normal is about 20 minutes). We will still have our Open House today, but I won't be there :(



Well, that's about it for today.

Doctor's Orders

So, I went to the doctor on Friday. In the course of our conversation, I mentioned my intolerance of extreme cold, such as we have experienced here lately. Since I have Raynaud's (an autoimmune thing), it should come as no surprise. I told her I'd like to go south for a bit, but that's not going to happen. She wrote me a prescription: "Move to warmer climate (as soon as possible) for winter months". Now that's one prescription I wouldn't mind getting filled!!

Is Your Shopping Done???

Attention: Only 345 more days until Christmas! :)

Happy January

Welcome to January - you know, the month after the holidays where everyone is sick of the cold and snow (it was nice for Christmas Eve) and just wants it to be Spring. As my darling hubby says, "We're one day closer to Spring!" I have to say, that does absolutely nothing for me - especially when I'm skating across a patch of ice on my way to start the car in the below freezing temperatures we get here in Western New York. I could cheerfully wait for Spring in, say, Myrtle Beach, or maybe Orlando. I'm sure Spring is one day closer in those locations as well. I am currently looking into going south for a long weekend to visit family. If I can work out the logistics, I may be able to convince hubby that it's a great idea. Time will tell.
