Things That Irritate You About The Same/Opposite Sex

Men: farts are not funny, nuff said
Men or Women: golf. I get mini golf, but regular golf??? Zzzzzz
Women: adults that still act like high school stereotypical cheerleaders
Women: any one who still does the "I'm just a woman, I can't do that" act
Women: (of any age) who will wear miniskirts and middrifts when it's -20 then have the nerve to bitch about the cold. Put some freaking clothes on!

Weigh In and Menu Planning

Wooooooooooo! Down to 188.8lbs! I knew today would be a loss cause of all the shoveling I did on Wednesday, but I didn't think it would be that much! YAY!

Now I'm taking a crack at menu planning. Both to eat more real meals (instead of some pasta and sauce or something equally lazy) but also to get rid of the random food in the house. I mean, I love having lots of food in my house, but when it's been in the cupboard for a year and no one's given it a second glance, it's time to use it and not buy it again! I will try to make things as diet friendly as possible, but sometimes you just need comfort food!

I'm not a perfect menu planner cause I often cook on cravings or energy (as in, I don't wanna cook!). So my menu plan is basically, I'm gonna cook this as some point in the next while, but who knows what day. I figure, if I can get 2 1/2-3 weeks worth of meals planned, that'll take me through a month (with Lee cooking, leftover days, or serve yourself days to fill in).

Here's what I have so far for Feb:

Mexican Mac & Cheese

Pork Stew

Mexican Casserole

Home Style Mac & Cheese

Dogs & Taters

Calzones

Honey Garlic Pork Chops with Corn and Rice Casserole

There of course will be repeats for favorites, but I'm also trying to go through all my recipe cards, one by one, and try all the stuff in there to see if it's even worth keeping. I have a slew of recipes online too that I need to go through (I'm really bad for writing/typing out a recipe just cause it sounds good, then keeping it forever without even trying it).

What You Wear To Bed

Classically, I wear a nightgown. I'm not a fan of pj pants in bed. Around the house sure, but not to bed. That said, in the winter, on freaking cold nights, I have been known to wear pj pants under my nightgown.

Woooo!

According to Daily Plate I burnt over 2600 cals yesterday in my 5 hours of shoveling! Oh, and I clocked in just over 5 hours of work!

YAY For Snow!

So called "Snowmagdon" hit today. With all the hype it got, we got ripped off. They were talking about a foot of snow, super high winds, ect... We got about 8in and a bit windy. Oh well, at least I got my free workout in in spades! I'm currently sitting at 4 HOURS of shoveling and I still need to do one more plow through before bed. Talk about calories burnt! I better have a loss on Friday or there's gonna be hell to pay! 

I've also done really good on my calorie intake today. I'm still under my recommended calorie intake for the day. I'll probably grab a quick bit of protein when I come in from my last shovel and that will put me over, but with all the calories burnt today? I don't think adding 100-200 extra cals is gonna hurt me!

What Kind Of Person Attracts You

Someone who isn't a pretty boy. Someone who actually loves kids, not just says they do. Someone who is willing to talk for hours, but also can be happy in silence. Someone who can appreciate the kind of person I am and the things I do. Someone who can be silly but can also be serious. Someone who can put up with my weirdness :)

How Have You Changed In The Last 2 Years

Well, I became a mom for the 3rd time. Due to, I guess, hormonal changes in that, my back pills work for the most part now and I am able to have more active days. None are pain free, of course, but being able to be active at least sometimes is great! I began caring more about the house in general. Cleaning, organizing. Probably cause I have more help now, it's not just piled on my shoulders alone. In general, I'm happier :)
