Carolyn described everything to a T! Great pun too! We are cozy in the house and fine so far as well. Wind whipping, over a foot of snow, and still going strong!
Cleaned the house today and my laundry baskets are empty. A little more cleaning tomorrow.
The Costco chicken pie was so salty it curled my hair!
I also had a small white chunk macadamia cookie with a large spoon of cookies and cream. Ugh, I instantly regret it after. Never, ever stops me in my tracks though! Give in once, it begets more indulgences!
Mary, how's it where you are?

Good Morning!
Woke up to the sounds of winds howling and the house rattling, and couldn't get back to sleep. It's still snowing and blowing, and the drifts are huge in places. We will be staying put for a while, which is no big deal since everything is cancelled/closed.
This morning was Bis and Tris and the dreaded core #2. I am determined to master that one. Does anyone else get a bit of a shock when Cathe comes on in the core workouts with full makeup on? She looks beautiful but I am used to seeing her all sweaty.
I decided to be fully bad and make a cinnamon bread from scratch this morning. The dough is rising now before I roll it out. I love to bake, and eat of course.
Also have a fire going and it is very cozy. Hope everyone else has power.
Betty, how great that your son is doing a semester abroad. Will you be able to visit while he is there? I hope he gets out ok. It seems like no one is on the roads and the airport is closed so they should be able to clear out the snow.
Carolyn, we have the outside motion detector lights as well. It seems like they are always being tripped by some animal - we have woods behind our house.
I hope you are all doing well with the storm.

Good Morning Ladies. Today is sunny , cold and wind gusts to 40 mph. I hope everyone is warm and safe. I woke up at 5:30 today.
Mary I was sitting here procastinating and I saw your 9 am post that you already worked out and made bread so I got off my lazy butt and did the same w/o as you. Thank you for being my inspiration for today. I really enjoy that w/o. It is fun , fast and my arms felt so full when I was done. Core 2 is so hard. I am glad you still have power.
Carolyn I am glad you still have power also. Shovel Max will really get your heart rate up and make you sweat. Did your sister go back home yet? I bet Cuda was so cute in the snow. I hope you can post some snow pics today.
Missy Good Luck car shopping.
Betty I hope you still have power.
Marie I heard that you are expecting snow soon also.

Had to quick go.....but I'm Back!
Tim said he tricked me for a reason.....to break my habit of always researching the calories! Well....that will never change! LOL
I got a reduced fat blueberry muffin....and a unsweet tea! Just looked it up....410 calories
We are back home.... I am going to make lunch..then we are going to a kart race....and then after that....we are going to the volkswagen delearship in valdosta, GA..... we looked there a while ago....and I really fell in love with jetta's. I want to look at a black one....it is beautiful in the pictures online. Right now....my problem is salesmen....they are crazy...you pull into the delearships and magically they appear within secords to grill you. And my husband and salesman do not mix. A mechanic and a salesman....OMG!!! Carolyn---I am sure your husband can relate! But, at the VW delearship there is a really nice, layed back salesman, that my husband likes....this is good! He is unlike any other salesman....he lets you look around is not pushy, and well....Tim likes him..... We will see......
Hope everyone is warm!
Gotta cook.... Be back soon!

Up at again at 4am. I think it may be catching up to me. I'm soooo tired and my coffee didn't work this morning. I did Low Max. Hope to get some nice leg and butt DOMS tomorrow
At work until 3:30 again. Slooooow day. We have a pretty chill group of patients right now. Good for some reasons, but makes for a long shift. I'm more into people getting crazy. I love the excitement of injections, restraints and codes!
No plans for tonight. Looking forward to a relaxing night at home with my boys
Betty- Stay-at-home ban?! Wow! It does look really bad. I have a friend in Boston that posted pictures on facebook. Way to get your workout in and the extended stretch. I need to do that more ofte, I think I've done it once since I started STS this time. Did your son's flight get out ok? I have not been to Italy and don't speak Italian. I'm hoping to make it there one day though. My mom and stepdad went last year and loved it. Not sure I will ever learn Italian though. I'm ok at Spanish but hoping to one day become fluent in that language. My gramma used to make ricciarelli They are so dang good! My Ryka's are Intent XT. I really like them and yeah I think they are good for high impact and great for cross training in general. I highly recommend them. They are nice and lightweight too.
Colleen- Nothing worse than doctors and nurses with bad bedsode manner. I mean hello, why would someone go into the healthcare industry if they aren't good with people. Drives me nuts. I work with some nurses that are actually mean to the patients. The poor old people...I just don't get it! No compassion! Ya for another Italian. We rule Those homemade ravioli's sound so good!
Carolyn- Hope your knee is feeling better! I can just picture Cuda "swimming" in the snow...too cute! My friend is LOVING STS! She lieks Meso 2 better than Meso 1. I'm hoping to get her addicted to Cathe. She isn't new to exercise. She is a member at a gym and is into Spin. I told her she should try out Cathe's. She did actually just got a spin bike at home.
Mary- "The dreaded core 2"...isn't that the truth?! Hope your cozy by your fireplace enjoying the cinnamon bread...sounds real good right about now!
Missy- I have a Jetta! I love it! Tony wants to get rid of it and get an SUV which makes sense for out fanmily but I'm sure going to miss my car. Hope you enjoyed your breakfast. I wish we had DD in MN. I love their coffee.
Jean- Way to get your workout in. Yup snow here tonight and freezing rain. Oh joy!

Carolyn- I go to bed around 9 or 10. Coffee in the morning usually helps but not today. I'm dragging! I would have more but I limit myself to a small cup only on the days I work and have to get up that early. Otherwise it's decaf for me. Way to do all that shoveling. It's a great workout isn't it?! Those kid cliff bars are sooo good! I like the chocolate chip ones
Betty- Thanks for checking in! Glad to hear everything is good!

Sitting at the race track....wanted to check in!

Hey all,
Marie, I think you need to rest more. It sounds like you might need to scale back a little. A full-time job, a new baby, all those workouts. They take a toll.
ITA about people working in healthcare who have no compassion! It bugs me to no end! Why would you go into the medical field if you don't have a heart??
DS's flight is tomorrow. Fingers and toes crossed.
Carolyn, you've been doing well resisting the call for sweets! Mango! I want one!
How great you did Shovel Max! I never even went out to help! That whipping wind looked nasty. DH was dead tired after the first round. They went out twice. The snow was so high that our snowblower was intimidated. Needed a person to shovel the snow into the path of it to work better.
Mary, that's so awesome you made cinnamon bread from scratch! Yum! How cozy that sounds too!
High five getting a workout in! You are so admirable with a full-time job, the activities of 3 very busy girls, a traveling DH, and so disciplined getting those workouts in!
Missy, how did the car shopping go? I avoid car salesmen like the plague.
Jean, way to go getting that workout in!
Colleen, hope all is well. You're prob just busy with your weekend stuff.
Homemade raviolis and ricciarelli--yum!
