At 5:00, I wakened and wasn't capable of fall returned asleep. while we get the cellphone call canceling college, it's normally proper at five:00. So i thought the youngsters had college. Then at 5:15, the smartphone rang, and of path, awakened the children. The Honeywell on the spot Alert gadget drives me crazy while we get an alert--i get a textual content, Jerry receives a text, the residence cellphone rings (which additionally makes my mobile phone ring due to name forwarding), then my mobile cellphone jewelry, after which Jerry's cellular telephone rings. Oh, and Jerry and that i each get an email . We cannot even remove our phones from the list (i would choose just a text), due to the fact they need to make sure we get the message.
5:15 AM: message received.
Jerry left for work at 6:00, and he later informed me that the roads were definitely horrible. The 20-minute pressure ended up taking 50 minutes. people have been driving 10-20 mph at the expressway. So i'm no longer amazed that faculty turned into canceled, but i am significantly questioning whilst this craziness will cease!
It snowed sincerely hard from about 7:00-noon, and we got an awful lot more snow than we have been watching for. In maximum places, it turned into approximately 10-12 inches deep. (I know this because I spent all afternoon shoveling it!) I desire the pictures I took may want to show just how deep it changed into, but this was the best I ought to do:
i've a purpose for February to get in 10,000 steps in step with day. On my relaxation days, I never even come near that, except i am going for multiple walks. these days, i was hoping that I may want to get in 10,000 with out going for any walks, however after cleaning the residence all morning, and shoveling the driveway for multiple hours, i might handiest accumulated four,000 steps. My upper frame got a serious workout from shoveling, even though!
after I came inside, i was honestly starving, so I had a Clif Bar with a smear of peanut butter on it to maintain me over till dinner. generally, i'm not almost that hungry at 3:00 within the afternoon, however the shoveling absolutely gave me an appetite! i was additionally absolutely cold when I came it, and after I sat down at the couch, Estelle ran over to me to leap on my lap (like she constantly does). while she put her paw on my leg, she startled and pulled it again. Then she tentatively pushed on my leg multiple times, deciding whether or not to climb on. usually, i'm a pleasing heat body for her to lie on pinnacle of; however today, she didn't even want to get on my lap once I came in from shoveling ;)
I walked for forty five minutes on the treadmill to accumulate some more steps, but even after that, i used to be handiest at eight,500. I do not know how human beings get 10,000 on days that they don't intentionally exercising!
any other purpose I made for February is to stay off of the dimensions for the whole month. even though i've been an awful lot much less focused on numbers for more than one months, I still weigh every day out of dependancy. So i was 139 at the beginning of February, and i'm hoping that i'll be at (or less than) 139 by the end of February.
My friend Linda just mentioned to me that i'm on "The top notch listing of the pinnacle one hundred satisfactory going for walks Blogs of 2104"... I did not recognize that there have been greater than a hundred strolling blogs available, but i am flattered to be on the listing ;) besides, I just desired to factor it out if you're seeking out more going for walks blogs to read. when i get some time, i'm going to go through the listing and check it out!
finally, i'm going to look at (on Hulu) the largest Loser Finale from ultimate night time. i've examine a lot about it on Twitter, that I ought to see what all of the hype is ready!
