I wanted snow... I got snow ! We only got 6", but it was the worst driving of the season. On the positive side, I came home from work to 90 minutes of heavy shoveling... fabulous work out. The best part was that I didn't need to stop and rest !!!
129.8 today. I am not shocked, because I don't eat back exercise calories, and I may be a bit dehydrated, although I did drink 64+ oz. yesterday.
Have a wonderful day !

123.4 today. Did some stress eating regarding son #1 last night for sure. Tough times! Did get 30 minutes of exercise in at lunch. Skipped scouts to talk with son#1 but he just got mad so don't feel like much was accomplished.
Day "off" today...... voting, getting a cavity filled, shopping, housecleaning, and meal prep (we are hosting a potluck at our house tomorrow for bible study and I am also preparing a meal for the teacher family that lost their 18 month old). Also plan to get some kind of exercise in today. I think DH and I will try to make an appointment with son #1's counselor to see if he can gives us tips for communicating/dealing with him. So often it feels like we are walking through a mine field!
Tried my first Quest bar for breakfast this morning. It was only okay for me - would have preferred my usual yogurt with fruit and almonds. I had the white chocolate raspberry. A little too sweet while eating it and too much lingering fake sweet afterwards. I got a 12 pack sampler to try out different flavors.
Diane O - drink up today! Water and maybe even a glass of wine too since you dipped below the 130 mark!

Paula, I empathize with trying to communicate with a teen!. Sometimes, I've found, after some of my daughter's and my arguments, that I've hit a nerve and she comes back later, after processing what was 'discussed' and has realized some of the truth in what was said. I also do the same thing, as she hits nerves for me too, forcing me to look at her perspective. Oh the joys of being a parent to a teen! Sending big hugs! Mary
