The storm started out weak, and I honestly thought that it would be a "nothing burger". The temps were in the 30's, nothing was sticking to the roads... and then I woke up at 10:30 when the power went out. It was actually my teen complaining about the WIFI not working...
And the power was out until last night and we were lucky. School was cancelled again today since 4 of 6 schools and half the town are still in the dark. Suffice to say I did not get steps in yesterday - downed power lines, ice, and the dangers of falling branches and trees kept me inside. I shoveled out the cars and the walk and the end of my driveway again and again (Thanks City Plow Guy!) I made a roaring fire and finished my book.
The kids and I eventually ventured out for lunch and dinner. I didn't eat poorly until my teen left a full bag of Twizzlers on the counter and I caved. I feel really defeated with my weight and my inability to stick to the plan. I'm back on MFP after a day break, but why do I let LIFE serve as an excuse? With this mindset I can't be successful?!
It's really frustrating.

I do my worst eating when the temptation is put right in front of me, too. It stinks. So - I've learned that it's just so much better for me when I can have those things NOT be around me. Could you maybe enlist your Twizzler-loving daughter to support you on this, to keep temptations like this out of sight?
I bet the rest was great for your body after that intense workout day! Hope the power gets back up everywhere, and soon.
