Snow Day!!! Wednesday January 12, 2011

Pretty, isn't it?

Today's Good Things:

SUPER Snow Day!!

Slept in late, snuggling with my dh

No one woke up last night...woohoo!!

The snow was piling high all day. I got in some good shoveling this morning and this afternoon.

Got in 1 mile with my sweetie in our beautiful Winter Wonderland

Relaxed, read a book, stayed outside as long as possible in the beautiful, snowy weather. SUCH a gorgeous day.

Loved, loved, loved having a day with my sweet husband home

Today's Not So Good Things:

Missed my bible time this morning

Maxed out on Eat to Lose calories before I even got to dinner. (Thank you very much, Dunkin' Donuts hot chocolate and donut.  668 calories right there!!  GASP!)

What a lovely day.  My arms are so sore, it hurts to lift my water bottle..lol! It's great! I shoveled this morning and afternoon. It felt so good to be out in the fresh, crisp air working and enjoying the beautiful snow.  My husband and I went for our 1 mile walk too, which was breathtaking.  We live in such a beautiful place. :)

My Workout Gear:

We decided to treat ourselves to hot chocolate and donuts from Dunkin' Donuts for all of our hard work. I knew it would be crazy calories and I was right! Fortunately, my walk and shoveling cancelled them out, so I really did work off the treat. It was good, but not worth it. I need to remember that for next time.

Now I'm over for my eat to lose calories, so I'm planning on just having a grapefruit for dinner. I'm not hungry at all, so that will be good. (although the leftover chinese that everyone else is eating sure does smell good!)

I'm thinking about playing around with my Wii Active 2 program again. I set it up once, but then it died out on me so I now need to restart the 9 week challenge and haven't been able to figure out how to do that. Once I do, I'll be working on that for the next 9 weeks. Let's see...9 weeks from now would be... mid March...my birthday! Hey! That would be a good goal for me to set. Completing the Nine Week Challenge by my birthday would give me something great to celebrate. So, I'll work on getting that reset tonite and then end the evening with some bible time and journaling.

I spent this day doing so many of my favorite things. I don't want it to end! Thank you, Lord, for sending the snow. It gave me such a boost! :D

"God thunders with His voice wondrously, Doing great things which we cannot comprehend. For to the snow He says, 'Fall on the earth,'

And to the downpour and the rain , 'Be strong.'"

Job 37:5-6
