Good morning! Hope everyone is staying safe and warm. It's so cold here- I don't even remember the last time it was this cold. It's showing -11 f but feels like -35. So glad I'm working from home again today.

QOTD: I just saw a post as I was starting this one- Portrait of a Success Story- I haven't read it yet but it touched on a subject that I think about. How do you define success with weightloss? For me it's not just losing the weight although that's a big part of it. It's consistency, keeping the weight off, controlling my food addiction, and sticking to all of this for years to come. Oh and being vigilant with vitamins and blood work is also part of it - I definitely don't want to exchange one set of health problems for another.

Accountability was good except that I had a few of my son's fries when we went out last night.

Menu:

Egg with cheese

L: Kelly's Egg salad

D: Chicken - just have to figure out how I'm cooking it but sheet pan sounds good right now.

S: Greek yogurt

The scale was at 162.5 yesterday. Have not checked for today.

Photo: A couple of random pics- me enjoying my electric throw from Christmas and from when we visited my dad's friends at the lake last week.

Good morning! Boston and the surrounding coastal areas had a historic storm yesterday, that is being compared to the Blizzard of '78! The high tide came in at the height of the storm and icy ocean water was flowing through the streets, carrying large dumpsters away. Cars are buried in snow and water and lots of homes had significant flooding that included fires and gas leaks. The worst part is the freezing that is happening now--all that cold icy water is now flash frozen on the streets, around cars and on train tracks. And there is no thaw until at last Monday, when there is more snow predicted! YIKES. Anyway, Grim and I are safe. No flooding where we are--just 16" of snow followed by flash freezing. The wind chill is below zero and my poor baby has been out shoveling out our house and his other property nearby since 3:30am. I am looking forward to him getting home so I can warm him up! My schools and office are closed again, so I get to work from under the covers, again. I must admit, I didn't get too much done, yesterday, but oh well. Here are some storm pics from around the area:



And from home:


Accountability: Pretty damn good for a day at home! I had the worst sweet tooth last night, so I added a yogurt with protein powder, unplanned, and had a handful of pork rinds throughout the day, but calories stayed under 1000. Considering that I am the only one who knows where I hid the Christmas chocolates, I think I did pretty well, thankyouverymuch! Step count was nada, though :(

QOTD: I added my thoughts to that thread already :)

JB, I thought of you and Grim alot yesterday when I heard the weather related news. It sounds like Boston and much of NE are really getting hit hard. I am glad to hear that you are safe and not getting any flooding. Stay warm and don't let Grim hurt himself shoveling!

Glad ya'll are safe! I just can't think of a worse situation to be in with not only all the flooding, but the freezing temperatures to boot! People affected by this have my biggest sympathy and positive thoughts coming their way

(and your kitties are getting so big and grown up!)
