Yesterday was challenging. We got over a foot of snow and while I made it into town okay the roads were challenging. It continued to storm and I began to get nervous about getting home so I left early. The roads were HORRIBLE and I barely made it up our private road to our home. Our landline is on the fritz. We lost internet yesterday for most of the day. Our batteries are still not working well. I had to reschedule a meeting because of the weather and now I am meeting at 7 am tomorrow morning which means I have to leave the house by 6 am. Not happy.
Yesterday was a "normal" calorie day and because I am computer dependent on Fatsecret I stopped counting calories. I know I exceded my 1500 but surely not enough to have the scale go up to 224?!?!?!?! Oh I am beyond frustrated and grumpy. Today I am on a low calorie day. I just want to give up. Of course I won't. How pointless would that be? But, I'm sure some of you can relate to my frustration.
I am not in the holiday mood at all. I feel like the Grinch who stole Christmas. I'd rather just cancel it. Bah humbug.
yet ... I must remember gratefulness.
I AM grateful I made it home safely yesterday and by afternoon our snow plow neighbor came and cleared out our driveway, road and the road down to the county road. Thank you Perry!!!
I AM grateful for the roof over my head, the family and friends I have in my life, and the fact that my grumpiness will pass.
I AM grateful for enjoying a movie last night and relaxing a bit.
I AM grateful.

Hi Carol! I know what you mean about snow storm and bad roads. Your job is very important, but your safety is even more important! If it's too dangerous to drive, maybe you could stay home... I am worried about your batteries. Is there a way to fix them or do you have to replace them? I am not in holiday mood either! I finally put the christmas lights on the chicken coop, more for the "beauty" of lights at night than the spirit of Christmas lol! Please don't give up with your eating plan. One day at the time, be proud of yourself for every little thing you do for your health.

Thanks Anne. Unfortunately the batteries must be replaced. We've already tried recharging them and they are fairly close to toast now. Just a big expense we aren't prepared for. What else is new, eh? I'm not going to give up ... I promise ... just feel like it today.

Hey Carol. I told the grinch to hand over the christmas he stole from you. He'll get right on it. I too see WILD fluctuations in weight. I was WAY up yesterday and even higher today. Let's see what happens. We both have Low Cal Days today, and we know that changes everything. We gotta remember to look more at average weigh-ins and not so much on what you weigh today. I think this is important for our sanity.

Thank you Glen. I have so missed you here on fatsecret. Your comment moistens my eyes as I embrace the difficulties while remaining grateful. Life is sweet, sometimes bittersweet, and on I go.

Dear carol....tough days. Lots of snow. Bad batteries. Mean scales......life is good though too. You love and are loved. You find so many things to be grateful for and there are so many more. Sending cyber hugs and while we re at it we ll eat cyberspace chocolate cake and drink coffee with monster flavored creamer...maybe some whipped cream too : )
