Great pictures, Tracey! We've been getting a ton of snow too. I am so ready for spring!

Have a great day today!

Love the photos! Would you hate me if I told you it is 70 deg F here today??

 

[kimwim8]

Just sent you a friend request.

Great pics!

We've been hitting 28 degrees here at night but it's still mostly green...just doesn't seem right to be that cold with palm trees though.

have to add 3 pieces of crusty bread with french brie on & a lf (HAH) hot choc drink - so that proberbly took me over 2000 cals
i blame the darn weather!!
on top of that didnt get to gym as snow was so bad!

Wednesday
school closed due to weather - so slept in till 10am

snack - choc - 100 cals
lunch - prawn salad, lf yogurt - 400 cals
dinner - baked potato with lf cheese, pork chop & salad,
fresh fruit salad - 600 cals

exercise - was debating whether i could get the car through the snow to spinning class, but then got a call saying it was cancelled as instructor had been in a car accident! hope shes ok - she hurt her back the other day falling on ice too!
SOoooo no exercise again - im feeling horrible too!
i did venture out onto the street & ended up walking elderly neighbours dog - very short walk though & helped push another neighbours car that had got stuck in the snow, oh & i brushed snow off the shed roof & swing seat with a brush!!
spent the rest of the day sat on my a$$ on the computer

School is closed tomorrow too might try & get to the gym during daylight hours - i know the car park is terrible but....we'll see!

 

[inkkognito]

Hey, at least you got in a little bit of exercise!

I know what you mean...I remember how the miserable weather used to bring out my hibernating instincts.

 

[toystoryduo]

I hope your spinning instructor is okay!

Does England usually get a lot of snow like this at this time of year? We have over 2 feet of snow on the ground here in Ohio and we're expecting 2-4" today and a lot more tomorrow. I am so ready for spring!

Enjoy your day off from school!

 

[lovinaz]

Do you have any exercise DVDs you can do at home? That way you wouldn't have to brave the snowy roads to get to the gym.

 

[traceycooper]

Tracy - NO we dont usually get snow much at all!!! we tend to get frost/light snow end feb/march time & we got quite a bit last march - but this stuff has been around since before christmas!!! the snows not melting because of the sub zero temps & more is forcast Sunday
councils are running out of grit for the roads, & now they're saying theres a shortage of gas due to high demand!

got a text from deputy head at school saying that we will proberbly have to go in tomorrow FRIDAY - i know half the kids wont turn in BUT whats the mosy annoying is that they say we cant park onsite as too much snow so we have to either PAY to park in indoor carpark in town or another car park up the road that is just as bad as school car park! on top of that footpaths (sidewalks) are a 100 times more trecherous than roads & we'd have to walk from the car parks - SO i sent her pics of sidewalks & carpark & asked how school stands health & safety wise regarding staff having to walk on dangerous footpaths - its not her decission but i'm hoping the info will get forwarded to the head!

Good news - my next door neighbour gave birth to her 2nd son today she only came over yesterday dinner time & then was home with baby at dinner time today! He's gorgeous

Thursday
b/fast - cereal - 250 cals
lunch - chunky chilli soup with smll piece of crusty bread, sandwich with lf cheese/onion filler, lf yogurt - 600 cals
snack - 3 chocolates - 150 cals
dinner - not had yet - but fancying an omlette!

exercise - GOT TO THE GYM felt so much better for it too

 

[Amy&Dan]

Love the pictures Tracey! It makes me long for summer.

I cannot believe that woman just had a baby! What a cutie he is.

Its very hard to do well on food when you are stuck inside. You'll get back on track very soon! I hope they don't make you park so far away, good for you for doing what you did!

Hang in there through the miserable weather and I hope it improves soon!

 

[toystoryduo]

I hope school was canceled for you today! It sounds like it's way too dangerous to have all those kids and teachers out and about.

That picture of your neighbor's baby is so sweet! What a cutie pie!

Hope you have a great Friday!
