One week...

Well, the first week of Weight Watchers is over and I cannot say it was either REALLY hard or REALLY easy. There have been so many times I wanted to have a "little" more or just TASTE something. I could have, really I could. I just think that if I don't tap into my extra stash of points, I could knock the weight faster?! And of course I was anxious about weigh in, but it snowed, then it sleeted, and then it rained and they canceled the meeting. It was like God is telling me... "If you really want to know- you have to stick with it for another week." Or as as my husband puts it, he could be telling me I didn't lose, or I gained and God is giving me another week to get on track. Whatever!
But the snow actually got us outside yesterday. It seems like the only good reason to go out when it is freezing cold. Jeremiah didn't care for Mikah being wrapped around him in a sled so we gave up on his first ride on a sled. He didn't want to be put on the ground, either. Not even to beat up his big brother. He just wanted to be carried around and look up at the snow. When I finally took him in, he and Daddy watched from a window- then he wanted to be out again! But Mikah on the other hand, he is the perfect playmate for snow. You can body check him into the snow and he just gets up and laughs. A few times I thought I was a little rough and he just got up and chuckled a bit! One time he actually face planted in the snow and got up with snow packed to his face- and he laughed it off! I just knew that that incident was gonna send him retreating to the warmth of the house! But he stayed out with me, throwing snowballs at the window little brother and Daddy were watching from. Very amusing for the baby until the window was completely covered... and then they had to find a new window to watch from. Daddy did manage to take a few shots from the window as we wrestled around in the snow. It was a fun afternoon. I only hope that Saturdays storm will bring us enough to go and do some sledding. After our ride to Toys R Us to get the baby some snow pants, I decided side roads would be too covered to venture out to our favorite hills. So maybe we will have a little more fun this weekend! I look forward to every little bit of snow we get... I will always be a kid!
