Baby, it's cold outside!!!

And it's only getting colder!!! It took me an hour and a half to get to work this morning, due to snow!!! Today, the high is supposed to be 23, which isn't all too bad but, tomorrow, they're saying a high of 6 degrees! 6 DEGREES!!!!!! Ridiculous! And the low for Friday, -7.

Anyway, all of a sudden, I've got energy!!! I think that it's because of the diet that I'm on. It's been 9 days (4 lbs. lost) and my cravings have gone down, energy has gone up. Which is fantastic! I actually feel like scrapbooking again! I feel like I have the energy to do stuff around the house and still find time to do what I want to do!!! It really has been great!

Just needed to add....

These cravings SUCK!!!! I feel like I'm going through withdrawals (like when I quit smoking). I so badly want some potato chips, and I'm not even normally a chip eater!!! I will get through this.

Day 2...

of Atkins! Ugh! It's been rough but, I am determined to do this. I am determined to NOT go up a size. Everything I own is tight and I just can't stand it anymore! So, no carbs. For 2 weeks. At least, very low carbs. And, anybody that knows me, knows that I LOVE carbs! Potatoes, noodles, chocolate....I just know that these are my absolute downfall. So, I'm half way through day 2, hoping that day 3 is better. Wish me luck.

HAPPY 2009!!!

So, New Year's Resolutions...hmmm. I haven't thought much about it. Of course, the standards, lose weight, get fit, organize, so on and so on are at the top of my list. Really, I just want to stay on top of things this year. Bills, kids' school stuff, work, scrapbooking, BLOGGING, etc. I hope to get out of this house, out of Indy, by the end of this year. I hope to be back home, being a Mom, by the end of this year. I hope to find more time to "treat myself" every now and then, even if it's an hour here or there. So, I guess that I have lots of resolutions. Let's just hope for the best and hope for a wonderful year!!!!!!!

So anyway, HAPPY NEW YEAR to all!!!
