Welcome To My Ice House

Okay, I lied. I didn't get a post on about our weight loss challenge. I'll be honest....I have NO excuse. As a matter of fact, we have been iced in for 2 days!

Here are the cliff notes on our weight loss challenge. We decided after 1 week to allow ourselves to NOT count calories on Saturday nights. That is the only night we go out to dinner, and I told Jeremy that if I am paying to go out to dinner, I am going to eat what I like! In the last 2 weeks, I've lost 2 lbs bringing my total to 6.5 lbs in 4 weeks. Jeremy lost 4.5 lbs in the last 2 weeks, bringing his total to 9.5 lbs! We are both happy with our weight loss so far, and I know that it's going to get harder for both of to take of more lbs. the closer we get to our target weight.

I thought I would post some pics of our Ice House from the past 2 days. Schools have been closed since Tuesday, and are still closed tomorrow. The roads aren't too bad, but sidewalks and side streets are still skating rinks. Our family has been in the house for the past 2 days, playing games, taking naps, wearing jammies all day, and cooking up some fun, yummy treats and meals.

Here are some pics of the outside.

Our neighbors invited Macy over for a playdate, so Macy and Daddy headed out with banana bread in hand :)

There they go, skating down the street!

McKenna got to taste an icicle. She loved it! She kept saying, "mmmmm".

And then to top it off, my hubby headed outside in his shorts and winter boots to get the mail, lol! I just thought it was toooo funny! Notice how everything is still icy.

Tomorrow we get back to the real world. The girls are heading to daycare/school, and Jeremy and I are heading to work. Boo hoo! Wish us luck :)
