We got in a little after noon yesterday.  And we had 4 ft high snow drifts around our front door!!!  There was a path cleared to the front door, but the drifts to either side were still there!  At first Micheal tried to tell me that was just snow that they?d shoveled off the walk, but I had to explain to him that snow only looks smooth and silky like that when it falls that way?that when it?s shoveled, it just doesn?t look the same anymore.  Micheal is a city boy?a California city boy!!!!!  Anyway, I pointed to the snow along the sides end of the driveway and pointed out the differences.  Now he knows the differences!!!!!

The drive from Columbus to home yesterday was just beautiful!  It didn?t snow on us at all?the sun was so bright and then reflected off the snow.  It was as if someone turned up the intensity of the sun a few notches!  And the wind was blowing about 30 mph. and coming from the south, hitting us in the side, and blowing snow fingers across the highway (a section of the drive was a two-laned highway)!  It was odd to see?snow would be drifted 6 feet high on one side of the highway, and barely cover the ground on the other because of the wind!

Ok, I know what a couple of you are wondering?what did the scale say when she got home?  Well, true to form, I got on the scale shortly after we got in and got things unloaded.  And it was a bit disappointment.  BUT!!!!…I got on this morning first thing and???..ta daaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!  I?m back to the weight I was before my slip-up of a few weeks ago!!!  So my ticker is correct for the first time in weeks!!!!!!!!

You know what that means?  The Biggest Loser books are right.  I wasn?t eating enough!!  If we?d not been traveling so much and eating out all the time in Virginia Beach, I may have even had a significant loss!!!  But that?s ok.  I?m gonna keep pluggin?.  I know it?s gonna come off.

Well, now I?m gonna go try to catch up on all your blogs.  I?ve got a whole bunch of them to read.  If I don?t comment on your blog, don?t hate me.  I promise to do better after I get caught up.

    Okay, first of all, I’m glad you’re home safe and sound.  Second of all, I am so happy to hear the news about the loss with the increase of calories.  I was thinking about that and it’s so important to eat enough.  I’ve been trying to tell my mom that, she’s been at 1200 but works out like a fiend and doesn’t lose weight…I told her it’s because she’s not eating but she’s afraid to eat more….I see that around here too but it makes perfect sense if you do the math.  I was doing it when I was jogging one day.  I burn about 300 calories when I run and based on my sex, age and activity level, my body burns around 1800 just to function….it makes NO sense for me to eat 1200 when I’m using over 2000 a day….not to mention that I’m always hungry and miserable when I don’t eat enough and there’s no way I want a life like that!!!    If I don’t feed my body enough, my body will starve and save everything I give it!!!  Simple math!!!!  Eat eat eat….just eat the right things.  Great job Mary!!!

    I am laughing at your comment, I too have tried to explain the difference in snow to Californians. At least you had examples to show him. Here I think people think I”m nuts when I describe all the different types. And how I came from a place that was often ‘too cold to snow’.

    Glad you back home safe. It must be so wonderful to be in your own bed.

    Very interesting about the increase in calories working for you. I think that info needs to be shared more, I don’t think its common knowledge.

    Have a great day

    Hey, at least you didn’t gain like I would have with all that traveling!!! I think you did great, and welcome home!!!

    So you were in Columbus yesterday and you didn’t stop and visit us Mary!!!?  Good job on the scale though and I’m glad you have found the proper calorie range to eat within.. Keep it up!! Glad you are home and back online!

    So you bought a book on the biggest looser.  Does that mean you want to be a bigger losser?  I hope that was a yes answer.  Glad to see you around this wood.,  Take care
