abbadabba's Journal, 28 Dec 10

Snow! We got 18 inches of snow over the weekend. Luckily, I live at the end of a dead end and the plows come down and dig out about 2/3 of my driveway for me. Strategic placement of cars the night before the storm meant that roommate and I only had to shovel a walkable path around our own cars. Not surprisingly, I guess, our dedicated cleaning ladies showed up despite the emergency red alert sent out by the governor! My daughters, unfortunately, got stuck in North Carolina, so I hope they can get home today or tomorrow!

I had the day off so I did what I could to clean out my paperwork. I pay too many things on the installment plan - it means I have to pay for things over and over it seems! My last oil bill was over $700. Yikes. Hopefully that will take us a good long time - that was for a full tank.

I have to start losing at least half a pound a week - only way to do that is to count calories. That was the only way it worked last time. I also drank lots of water. So, here we go, and I am not waiting til next week to get started. Again.

Have a good Tuesday!

Oh I am so sorry you got all that snow. Unless you like it. Then I am happy for you. I for one hate the stuff. This year has been rough on the heating bills here too. You can do it in losing department. I am going to have a good 2011 in losing as I just can't stand myself any more. Happy Tuesday to you too.. Bren

Glad you are well and got out of your driveways. So sorry about your daughters getting stuck and hope they get home in time to spend some time with you. Great job getting on the weight loss band wagon today. I will be following right behind you.

18 inches WOW! We only got 8 here in Philly. I'm glad your plow people were so good to you to help clear your driveway! :)

I miss snow. Although in a little more than a week I will be going regularly to the mountains to snowshoe and nordic ski, so that will get me into the snow. And I won't ever have to shovel. :D The counting calories religiously seems to be some part of the trick, I agree. Being accountable, being AWARE...those are good reasons to do it too. While I am not super strict with myself, at least I know when I am eating really poorly and can correct it. Every day is a new day, whether it's a day that starts a New Year or not!
