personal snow day

Well, school isn't cancelled today, but I elected to keep Nick (and myself) at home. Brian isn't here to help me, so I really don't want to take any chances. That hill out of our neighborhood is just too iffy. Sigh. So, here Nick and I are, having a lazy morning. So far, it's been pretty nice, actually - we cuddled a bit, and I made him a special "snowfast", with a waffle with syrup and cereal with milk. (Usually on a school day, he eats his cereal dry.) It was nice not to have to nag him to hurry up and eat for once! :)

The falling snow is quite pretty. There's not much on the ground yet, but it's still falling, and it doesn't take much to make the roads slick. Later today, Nick and I will bundle up and hike to the mailboxes (they're at the entrance to the 'hood) to get our mail. I am bummed that my Dad won't be visiting, and I'm especially bummed that I won't be able to work out today. I have to miss Pilates class tomorrow, too. Even if I could get there, there's no childcare at the gym on Saturday mornings, and Brian will still be gone. :(

I did lose a pound this week, so I know I should be pleased and feel like I'm moving in the right direction. I'm just feeling kind of down about it, though, because I measured myself this morning and found that I have actually regained an inch in my waist, hips, and each thigh. And anyone who knows me knows that I hate the generous girth of my thighs, so even an inch back on them is pretty depressing for me. I think that taking my measurements was a reality check. I mean, it's one thing to see one's weight creep up a little on the scale, but to ascertain that one is actually physically larger is sort of a slap in the face. I know that an inch isn't much, but I just always feel like it's a slippery slope and that I'm *this close* to losing control of the whole shebang. It's hard to accept that I have to be so vigilant and careful to keep the weight off, but apparently, that's my fate. Why can't I be one of those waifs who couldn't gain weight if she tried? :)

Hope everyone has a nice day and stays warm and safe!

Oh, Amy, that sucks. But, you know, I have such faith that you will not regain the weight. You are so vigilant about keeping healthy and I so admire that about you. Yes, it totally sucks to realize that we will always have to be careful, but I love that you get over that and then do something about it. You are so proactive about your health and I really want to emulate that!

I too wish I was one of those waifs who could eat everything she wanted, but you are probably way healthier than most of them. Just because they are skinny doesn't mean they are fit. They are probably total weaklings with no muscles.

A friend of mine did her Masters in exercise or something and her project was about measuring fat, etc. Anyway, she measured a really slender woman, who though thin, had way more body fat than my friend (who wasn't fat, but wasn't skinny either, but was really fit and toned).

I am going to follow your lead and measure myself now that I am again at the beginning of a weight loss journey. How often did you measure yourself when you were losing?

Hey guys,

I'm seeking help for the children of Haiti.

I'm at this site for a non-profit haiti group in which the main focus is to
building an oppurunity for the kids in haiti. If anyone wants to give money then then please do so here:

[url=http://universallearningcentre.org]Donate to Haiti[/url] or Help Haiti

They give children in Haiti books and teach them.

Yes, they're real.

I greatly appreciate anyone's help

4.) At the same time, do not become very greedy and play with only as many cards as you can play with. You need to watch and mark the winning numbers in each card and there is a time gap of only ten seconds between card draws. Hence, if you are unable to manage many cards, it is a waste. You have to complete winning combination and call 'bingo' before other players to claim your prize. [url=http://www.bingokisses.com]online free bingo[/url] If the second called number is say N36, probabilities of the next number not ending in 2 or 6 is more. The first six called numbers could have different digit endings. Thereafter, there could be pairing of one or more of such ending digits. [url=http://www.bingokisses.com]free bingo money[/url] With so many different casino and gaming sites on the Internet, it is difficult to know which ones are legitimate and which ones are not. After all, if you want to join the gaming community, you have to decide whether you want to play for money or for fun and prizes. If the former, it is more pertinent to find out what sites are legitimate since you do not want to invest cash into something that is not going to give you a return on your investment.

What you have to do is, coordinate the numbers that are called out by the host with what you have on our sheet, aiming at filling up a pattern reading bingo. The pattern would be announced at the beginning of the game, so you have to be careful to know what pattern you are looking out for. The cards have the b-i-n-g-o letters on rows and numbers running as a column. A host would call out a letter-number combination, which you would have to mark on your sheet. For example if I-34 is called, you will have to look at the I column down to search for number 34. In case you have it, you place a market on it, and so on.
