I know I said I would post a weigh-in yesterday but when I saw what the scale said yesterday morning I wasn't exactly thrilled and in a hurry to do so.
We all have setbacks from time to time but I'm really disappointed in myself. When I think about the weekend it wasn't just the cupcakes that did me in. I may not have snacked on chips all weekend but I definitely did not stick to balanced, healthy meals or drink as much water as I should have. After getting so close to hitting 150 I now have another "extra" 2-1/2 pounds to lose - again!
But despite my weakness over the weekend I sill met and exceeded my goal of losing 5 lbs by February 1st.
January 1st -
For my next goal - another 5 lbs by March 1st. The next 5 lbs will definitely require more of an effort. February is not only a slightly shorter month but full of celebrations for us - my birthday, my husband's birthday, Valentine's Day, my niece's birthday. That's a lot of cake! I have found a cherry angel food cake recipe I am going to try out for my birthday. I'll just have to work on my self-control when it comes to the others.
The snow was fun over the weekend but now I'm ready for it to be GONE! I'm very skittish about driving on ice and our neighborhood roads are still a big sheet of ice. Ed is coming home from work this morning to take us to the doctor for Samantha's 9 month appointment. I had hoped to get to the grocery store afterward but I realize Ed will need to get back to work as soon as possible. Tomorrow is supposed to be much warmer and nicer. Gabrielle has ballet in the morning and we'll go to the grocery store after that - and maybe even Walmart or Target just to walk around and be out the house. Today I'm determined to get this house straightened up. It is a mini-disaster around here with toys everywhere, coats, shoes, mittens and hats laying everywhere and the hamper is overflowing. The kitchen floors are a mess from the dogs coming in and out. I definitely have enough to keep me busy for the day.

Great attitude, don't let a little set back derail the train! (I'm one to talk, that's what usually happens to me, but I'm not letting it this time!)
And yes, like you, I enjoyed the snow, but now that it is melting I'm done with "snow mess." How do folks up north where it is like this all winter keep their sanity?
