this weather is killing me

All I want to do is eat, much and crunch on these days.  The kids have been home for 2 days, and again tomorrow, I was off today and trying to stay busy.  We went to the movies to see the hobbit and now I'm cooking pork chops and hoping this helps.  Being busy definitely helps when in weight loss or any food stage! lol  Hope it's going better for everyone else.

Brandy I know what you mean. I work at a school and usually have to work during now days. But it is so bad here, non-teaching staff don't have to report. This is the second day off and I am off tomorrow too. 

What part of Michigan are you from? I live in Covert, about 35 miles west of Kalamazoo.

Hi Mevere,  I work for the Red Cross, so we never get days off, but I work the weekend so I have off today, which is nice.  I live in Monroe south of Detroit, sometimes I wish I was a teacher, but just a little bit , waay too much schooling for me. lol

I am a teacher here in Michigan here, and we will not have school again tomorrow (Wed).  Frankly, I am so grateful... I needed the extra recovery time!  I have not weighed myself the last few days, but do suspect the scale is creeping up though.  Tomorrow morning I am going to weigh in and see where I am at. 

Happyteacher, 

I hope your recovery is going well.  What grade do you teach?    If young, I'm sure you do need the extra time off! lol  I can't wait for the weather to break and we can get outside and enjoy the sunshining again.

I teach PreK-5th (computers) and you are exactly right... if I only taught upper el. I would have been ready to return... my afternoons are my younger students, and on Monday I was not ready.  I am just about there now... I had drains removed last Saturday and the wounds are about done bleeding at this point.  Pretty sure one more day will do it.  I am so grateful for these snow days... saved me from having to submit a mountain of paper work, as taking Monday off would have been the first day outside of the contract window for documenting absences for medical reasons.  

Nice to see others from MI here. I work as a technology coordinator. Started this job in October. I was a tech coordinator for Covert schools for the past 17 years. Nice to meet you ladies.

Wow, lots in common on this thread!

Nice to meet you too!  The MI forum is pretty boring, so it's nice we can talk to each other here.  Have you had your surgery yet?  How are things going?  

 

Yes, there's not much going on in the MI forum I haven't had my surgery yet. I had a meeting withthe surgeon and nutritionist on 12/9. I have been cutting carbs, eating less than 1200 ccalories a day, increased my protien intake and tryand drink at least 64 oz of water a day. My next aappointment is 1/9 and I am really excited.
