Believe it or not, another snow day!

<p>Happy Monday friends! I got to sleep in once again this morning. We had a 2 hour delay that was announced last night with all the blowing snow that’s flying around and then around 8am we ended up closing. <strong><u>Hooray</u></strong> for another snow day!</p> <p>I wanted to wait a few days after I was sick to give an update on my weight. I weighed in this morning and was at <strong>163</strong>, which is a <strong><u>1.5lb loss</u></strong> from my weight last week! I was really hoping to be 162 right now and lose 2 lbs these last 2 weeks of February to meet my March 1st <strong>goal weight of 158</strong>, so we’ll see how that goes! Just need to stay focused and on plan!</p> <p>If you haven’t noticed yet, you should <strong>check out</strong> my new links to the left (i.e. progress pictures, about me, goals) and <strong>let me know</strong> what you think!</p> <p>After catching up on blogs & losing track of time I decided I need to get some breakfast! I toasted <strong>2 </strong>left over <strong>pancakes</strong> from yesterday, topped them with <strong>warm cinnamon apples</strong> & a <strong>sprinkle</strong> of <strong>granola</strong>!! I also had an <strong>orange</strong> on the side for a <strong>4 point</strong> breakfast! Yum-o!!!<img alt="DSC06048" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglySlXsFJ2Pm-cP2moD1mMtxA1D1h0woJN0PiJ-fQCk9eLaU0VFlu9lq_j6c_PjeJ_fy_bvMK4mDY3tjXUDGHAopYuI6n4UuuCGf1BTqn8a6jHDQ8Ari7daFBJoehUIH8PuVZoRzU5Yjej/?imgmax=800" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: block; border-left-width: 0px; float: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border-right-width: 0px" title="DSC06048" width="404" /></p> <p><img alt="DSC06049" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKkaFYDLeT-zr5BR_DjmRsxSWuLsu46Ay3g4I-TI3Bf_6Iq74QGgJiQMF8bGufYDo4NtSIjkmmelu3sns0Y42OL23HrfUkIto9OrDT2iQvmp2F7y9GdPpENdGraBpnOojNCwIqGygqrXBP/?imgmax=800" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: block; border-left-width: 0px; float: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border-right-width: 0px" title="DSC06049" width="404" /></p> <p>After breakfast I got my list together and ventured out into the wind & snow! I stopped at Wal-Mart, Target, Hy-Vee, and a quick stop to see my man @ work! I didn’t get home till 3pm and was ready for some lunch! I heated up <strong>1c</strong> of <strong>chili</strong> with a <strong>sprinkle</strong> of <strong>ff cheese</strong> and had<strong> 5 ff crackers</strong> and a few <strong>baby carrots</strong> on the side for a <u>wonderfully warm</u> <strong>7 point</strong> lunch. <img alt="DSC06050" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihF13z61_R0SYnU9mhfXvgGWrS4tsE8MAk-An6H5NQKMqqLE5H5MJmaQlgoX8TdWlkZppCaZIp88n5xAF465lijeboWUp-OvTFZBAx7qoGjiiySVET-2kBxE6V4wlBuQBDnyXWU6LM4ehi/?imgmax=800" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: block; border-left-width: 0px; float: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border-right-width: 0px" title="DSC06050" width="404" /></p> <p><img alt="DSC06051" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhArDdccxvHs3nm_l-leFR4oAzC_Q1nROPUCd6BeshO-nek3Bk41MBBWi_NnfmEIvmul6epwiblHyAQ6Qb-QFlusuRfnihowclop6fyuKqkWdf8egZ0X4hl0b7V4E8-0RbNJMoHBXsdXhl0/?imgmax=800" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: block; border-left-width: 0px; float: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border-right-width: 0px" title="DSC06051" width="404" />Kyle and I are headed east this weekend to <strong>Chicago</strong>! Kyle’s sister and her husband live there, so we’re going to visit! We have a few things planned…of course <strong>shopping</strong>, dinner at the <strong>Signature Room</strong> on the 95th floor of the <strong>John Hancock building</strong>, and Kyle wants to go to <strong>Game Works</strong> (he’s a <strong><u>kid at heart</u></strong>)! Does anyone have any recommendations of something <strong><u>fun</u></strong> and <strong><u>unique</u></strong> that you’ve done or always wanted to do in the <strong><em>Windy City</em></strong>?</p> <p>I spent my afternoon <strong>getting ready</strong> for our trip! I pre-portioned snacks into baggies and put them & a few other snacks into 2 large containers, one for the way there and one for the way home! And my list of things to grab from the fridge is <strong>all ready to go</strong> as well!! I also got my <strong>clothes picked out</strong> & <strong>suitcase packed</strong>. I just have to throw in my things I use everyday!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxr2VYJz0P7Erj-oSf36Yu89zIYz19AKWwy7TxFZURK6FfYE2oPwe5SQIsFtZam0lvVlmyLJEdR5P03zy-3LhFFjjr_puEO2965JB4UW8aZpLvZIpLxEsFCQbn_59uPpXloep8BPYKZv4l/s1600-h/DSC06052%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06052" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8VSLYKPz4iplwUzmAcumub-KuNUxAOK4hBJPn5eKDggbpv8S8wad9rdY53c1IBHjEDfI7QQVI1fvwxldlwSbxgU8CK6LsNHV_RZNUK7dh_-hsDxJa0oaATmH4oHMvsiteME_r3Itryxr8/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC06052" width="404" /></a>  </p> <p>While supper was baking I mixed up my<strong><u> favorite combo</u></strong>!
