An Unexpected Gift of a Day Off!

Jan 27, 2009

We had an awful ice storm yesterday/last night, and school was cancelled for the day.  This is an unexpected gift that I plan to take advantage of!  Today, I am going to clean house, exercise, and take the Jeopardy online test! 

I do believe that everything happens for a reason.  Yesterday, so few kids came to school that I let them watch a movie, something I rarely do, and I was able to get onto the Internet.  For some reason, I checked the Oklahoma state board to see if others had posted about the weather.  The first post that I checked was from someone in Durant, the same town that I live in -- what a coincidence!  The only person I know who has had WLS of any kind is my husband's secretary, so having a local friend to talk to about common WLS issues is a gift.  We are even both teachers!  I truly have gotten so much from OH.

I find myself craving carbs when the weather is cold.  I'm exercising regularly and doing more and more every time; my strength has improved greatly.  Now, I just need to get my food choices more in line.  I tend to get stuck more easily when it's cold and often just have a gas station cappuccino for breakfast.  I'm going to try to break that habit.

I am hovering between 179# and 182#, so I only weigh myself about once a week or so.  My clothes fit better, and I am wearing many 14s now -- another unexpected gift.  We are going on a cruise in May, and I would like to be wearing 12s by then.  I'll keep on plugging along!
