Okay Flaxseed ... I completely agree with you. I ate out. I stayed within my calories. I gained. Still in my range but incredibly frustrating. It must be a plot!!! LOL!!!
It is extremely cold here. 2 degrees this morning. Talk about crisp. This is beyond crisp and not typically for here at all. I'm going into work a little late so I can keep the fire going. We are all gone from the house during the day and wood is our only source of heat. I'm hoping I can stoke it up enough that the house won't get too cold before hubby arrives home. Mom went in with Bob this morning and I'll take her home. Brrrr.
My five things for today ...
1. the flexibility to go in late 2. kept the fire going all night ... the upside of waking several times a night 3. survived the birthday luncheon with the wicked wife of my FIL 4. a car that starts even when it is this cold 5. looking forward to my mother's birthday celebration this coming weekend

I didn't know you only used wood to heat your home! That's really cool. What do you use--a fireplace or a wood stove of some sort? My grandfather gave us his old fireplace insert that he had used at the farm. We tried it for a few months and it made our house nice and toasty, not to mention cut down severely on our heating bills. Yet, it "toasted" a little TOO well and caught the chimney on fire one day! Thankfully it didn't spread, but that was the last time we used that sucker. ;-)

First of all - your fire place is your only source of heat?!?!? OMG - I think I'd die!!! Do you sleep around it at night?? Sorry if thats a dumb question! LOL Also, about the eating out - NO MATTER HOW HEALTHY YOU THINK IT IS, ITS NOT!!!! You can order egg whites, and think your doing great, but TRUST ME - they are putting butter, salt, and god knows what else in there, and its NOT LONGER HEALTHY! Having said that, I went out to eat twice yesterday!!! LOL Have a great Monday, and try to stay WARM!!!! Picture MEXICO!!!

When I was a little girl the home we lived in only had a wood stove for heat, it did a great job at keeping the house warm. I still know several people that ONLY use wood to heat their homes in the Winter and they LOVE it!! Yes the house gets cold during the day when they are at work, but it only takes a little while for it to get (literally) HOT in their house. Wood Stoves heat a little too well for my tastes because I like it a little crisp at all times : ). I think it soooo neat to heat that way because the power bill is almost non-existant in Winter!!

2 degrees!? Eek. That is cold. Nothing like the smell of a wood stove! When I lived in Maine we had a wood stove for our only heat, as did/do a lot of my friends. Used to love to chop it, though I wasn't very good. Some of my friends were having a wood chopping party and Diana Ross stopped by! She chopped some with them.

I remember going to Idaho, the house we went to had a huge black iron fireplace. lol never seen such a thing, the whole thing was hot couldn't stand 3ft close to it. lol gee I would not survive in your weather for long. So just wondering did you have a salty margarita? I know you wanted one, I'd blame just the salt if you did, other than that you aren't too high up and you know just how to get it down!

2 degrees? It was 32 this weekend, and I wouldn't get out from under the blankets. Good for you though! Keeping those heating bills down. I'm sure you'll get rid of what you gained. Eating out is so much fun because you don't have to cook, but you don't know all the extras going into your food, so it's bad. Ah well, once in a while it's okay, I guess.

I opted for no salt on the rim of my margarita ... but there was salt on the tortilla chips I ate so perhaps I can still blame the salt. I refuse to complain too much ... since I have the size 10 pants I bought on this morning and they fit just fine!! LOL!!! It is what my scale does, it bobs up and down and eventually I just hope to bring the bobbing a little lower. But not too much focus on that until the new year! For now it is just get through the holidays of celebrations still in my range ... which I am!! We don't have any other heat options!! We are in Idaho. We are "off the grid" so electric heat is OUT and we do not have a propane heater in the house. Most of the time that is just fine ... but when it is this cold ... well ... it just takes more wood!! It is supposed to warm up to 20 by Thursday ... I know it seems odd but that seems like a heat wave!!

I'mso glad its not just me that gains when I eat out. It doesn't seem to matter what I eat. I've even bought a wholemeal roll from the baker and just put ham on it and no butter and still gained. I usually have to eat something out of my normal range when I'm out so perhaps that explains it. Another wood burner here, although we have supplemented our supply with some coal last winter and I have a small supply for this winter since OH is not able to do so much now and he won't let me handle the chain saw. We do have electric but its not terribly reliable in storms and bad weather. You'd think we'd use more calories keeping warm wouldn't you?
|
Yes, flaxseed, you would think we would be burning more calories in this cold weather!! Instead I think my body is trying to hold on it its insulation!! LOL!!

LOL! That is *crisp.* Good job at staying within your calories, if you continue that you can just consider that you have turned auto-pilot on and forget the scale. :-)

Does the wood stove smell good? Our neighbor's wood burning fireplace smells awesome when we walk past!

I feel like a baby whining about the cold here. I bet your house smells wonderful all the time with the wood burning.
