flaxseed's Journal, 06 February 2009

This has not been a good week. OH has shingles - man shingles, need I say more, Mr C has been hanging around for the last 4 days and fluid retention has made my fingers and ankles swell. I called in at the jewellers last week with a view to having my wedding ring made smaller if they could keep the design. Can't even get it off my finger today! Simon the scale hasn't moved one iota and I think he needs a new battery. Can't get out to get any as we've been snowed in since Tuesday. Big snow, over 2 foot. Wonder how many calories shovelling snow burns? Just cleared a path to the coal and log store when a huge pile slid off the roof onto where I'd cleared.

On the bright side eating has been fine, sticking to my plan well. The sun is shining even though it's still freezing; minus 8 first thing but no wind. Trees look magnificent and the bird bath looks like a huge cream puff again. As fast as I clear it some more comes down. We've got a beautiful speckled Thrush that comes for breakfast every morning and I've tied a wrinkly apple on the handrail up the steps and he's been perched there pecking away for ages. The deer are getting closer to us looking for something tasty to nibble at in this hostile weather and farmers fields are very tempting. A flock of at least 100 swans has gathered in the field about a mile away. I can watch them from the bedroom window with my binoculars. Its looks just like a school playground. Squabbles and little groups huddled together and others running round. Have a good day

I would say you burned some major calories shoveling that snow. I loved your description of the beautiful countryside where you live. I read it to my hubby. We've been complaining about the cold this past week which is nowhere near what you're going through. Funny how 20's and 30's seem brutal to us in the south. It's near 70 today though. :) Great job sticking to the diet! Stay warm!
