SNOW DAY!!
Every decade or so we get snow in McKinleyville. Here is the view outside our rental at about 11:00 this morning. There was a lot more snow earlier but I didn't take a picture then. I was taking it easy, having a snow day. That means staying inside, leisurely reading, not exercising, not putting makeup on and not doing my hair. I did finally take a bath and brush my teeth just so I could stand myself.I am in sweats and a sweatshirt and staying warm. I would love to make cinnamon rolls and have hot chocolate but I am on the Cabbage Soup Diet this week and that doesn't fall in that diet. Darn! (I am 2.5 pounds over the goal I set to be at for this time so have to resort to drastic measures). I usually don't fall for extreme diets but have found this works well to jump start a healthier (Weight Watchers) diet or to just lose few more pounds to keep me motivated on WW. I don't make the soup the way they do (it's horrible!) - I just make a regular vegetable soup with cabbage. What I really hate about the weather though is that the builders aren't working on my house!! Oh well, I did finish my taxes today and now I think I'll watch an episode of Oprah I taped, read a good book I'm reading (Snow Flower and the Secret Fan) and take a nap. Oh, and have some cabbage soup and vegetables. Yum.

Sounds nice to have some snow-just for a day and especially since you can be lazy. Let me know how that book is-I read Empress Orchid and think it's the same author...and hope that soup is really good! Cinnamon rolls sound much better to me, too!

HA HA me and my friend Becky are doing the Sacred Heart diet. I really wanted to do a body cleansing and started doing the Master Cleanse but oh my was that horrible. So after day one we switched and this one is manly veggie soup with certain add-ons each day (fruit,etc). I feel so good though. Keep up the good work...we will definately be making some sort of sweets when this is over. It's amazing how much more you hear about food when you can't have it :)

Hmmm...I am going to have to check that book out. I can't believe it snowed!
Good luck on your cabbage soup diet. I don't know how you do it!

Kalie, Sacred Heart and Cabbage Soup look identical. How are you doing on it? I am only doing it for 4 1/2 days -not on the weekend. I'm a lightweight. I also cheat a little so have only lost 3-4 pounds but thatwas what I was after. Now I'll just eat and follow WW.
