HCB's Journal, 01 May 2013

You and Jess and the Snow... that's just insane! It was rainy and cold here in NY forever but we are in day 2 of what is supposed to be a strech of 70s and sun till Sunday. Man am I keeping everything crossed because I know it's rare this time of year but it's doing wonders for my mood. Working on what I need to do for myself here too... hard but trying. Here's hoping you can put those boots away for good soon!  

I'd go crazy in all of your guys' neck of the woods. If I can't go outdoors to exercise I turn into Jabba! Boo-hiss to sucky weather! Planning out your meals IS the definite way to go! Tomorrow I'll be having alternative spaghetti; 80% ground beef, ragu (7 net carbs per serving), and tofu shirataki noodles! Good luck getting back into the swing of things, trooper!  

Yeah, I'm bracing for the snow down here in Kansas. I have decided to lower my RDI again and try to go for 1300 calories. You ARE a warrior, HCB. I'm really good at meal planning, but lately I don't want to cook. I cooked last week and made pasta with marinara. Tell your friend CJT about Dreamfields Pasta - has 41 grams of carbs, but only 5 grams are digestible. You can eat a normal serving of pasta with Dreamfields for only 5 grams of carb impact - and I am a diabetic, I have tested after eating Dreamfield's several times. I cannot recommend this product enough! Readily available at just about any grocery store or discount store that also carries groceries. Cheap, too, about 2.25 a box.  

Damsels here today - boots tomorrow. Freaky spring! 

Happy May Day to you! I deheaded my daffodils and listened for the sound of fire trucks. You may be getting snow but here in Northern California we have not had near enough moisture and are already headed into fire season. So could you send some of that snow out here? 

The cold was back this morning but it stayed sunny for a while. I think we are supposed to have rain/grey through the weekend. Fake it til we make it. I've got to do some meal planning. DH and I decided to not go to the store for a few days so we could clean out/eat food we already had coming out of the cabinets and fridge. I will have to look up some recipes to cook all that tomato sauce and tuna I found. :) Best to you HCB til we see the sunshine again. 

I could not even imagine snow in may in louisiana lol. Im sure its super beautiful where you are though! I lived in Great Falls, Montana for a year when I was a kid and the snow and mountains were so amazingly gorgeous. Happy May to you! :D 

Warrior mode!! Here we go! 

We've actually had several days of 80+ degree weather here in Southwest WA...supposed to hit 85 today again - please please please keep the sucky weather in your part of the country!!! lol I've decided to go back to the induction phase of Atkins - been fighting with the same 5 pounds for the last couple of months...still fitting nicely into the size 14's (even have a pair of 12's that I can s-q-u-e-e-z-e into lol), but the daughter's wedding is in a little over 2 months, and I really need there to be less of me to fit into my dress! so, starting over for the next 2 weeks, and see if that can't get my butt back in gear...would really love to drop 20 before July 1... so - RROOOOOAAAAAAARRRRR - Warrior, here I come! lol 

I am starting today HCB, too. Warriors Unite!!!
