Hello Margaret~
Yeah we got lots of snow. But they say that it should warm up to 58* on Monday. I say I'll believe it when I see it!
I can understand wanting there to be snow so you could get an extra day off work. But Walmart (I work in one of the distribution centers) doesn't care about snow. You'll be there regardless. In fact last year we had a blizzard and many of the counties around here had snow emergencies. Basically you weren't suppose to be on the road unless it was an emergency. But Walmart didn't care. You showed up for work or else you got wrote up. And a few people didn't come to work and already had so many write-ups that they were let go.
Hard Core.

Me too but i want it to come so i can go out and play then go to sleep and its all gone with no slush or ice im sounding really old...i know know why my parents hated snow so much driving walking slipping nightmare
I think we are the only area in the UK to avoid everything we dont even get a mention in the forecasts LOL

Sarah

WOW that is harsh! how can they justify that?

HI

Now no snow comments just how great you are continually doing LOL

Jogging is a huge step and really not for me either i am still walking like you and picking up the pace which to me is just as good as jogging but without damaging my knees legs ankles etc not to mention how much i would be gasping for breath, getting on the treadmil at the gym is different you have no choice but to jog and there is always someone there to pick me up when i fall off (which i am positive will happen soon)

Hope your day is going well
Sarah

definitley play in the snow!!! do it every time there is snow! had some great laughs and injuries over time because of it!!

i am so jealous. we never get much snow here and if we do it only stays for a day at the most

Hi Dawn

It is tough that Walmart take that attitude with you when the authorities say to stay off the roads. The only good thing that you can say is that at least you know where you stand up front. That is better than companies / organisations that pretend to be all fluffy and caring and then suddenly show their teeth after the event.

For most of my working life I was a computer contractor so there was not really a cosy employer / employee relationship going on. It was all very temporary contracts and if you didnt go to work you didnt get paid - so no paid holidays or paid time off sick - and there was no concept of long term security of employment. I am not complaining because we all knew where we stood up front and they paid a premium because our relationship was different.

I have known people believe that they had a cosy employer / employee relationship who were bitterly disappointed when their employer failed to show them the same loyalty that they had recieved from staff for many years.

I imagine that you will be looking forward to Monday's weather - even if it isnt as picturesque.

Take care
Love
Margaret

Hey there Margaret!! hope your New years was a good one!! I see you got on a good Challenge team too, YIPPY, but you know I'm scared to death, as I know how quickly you lose weight, MAN I'm going to need to step it up a tad just to stay up with you. LOL LOL your a true inspiration, and I'm so happy your here!! Good luck in your challenge!

Kim

I got loads of visitors while I was replying to Dawn. That's what comes of writing a message while making and then eating a meal all at the same time.

Thanks for visiting

Sarah

We havent got snow either so no need to feel envy of west London yet if it is snow you are after. As far a jogging goes - I wouldnt even dare jog if I was at a gym crowded with people. You are braver than me!

Angel

I used to like to play in the snow when I was your age. It will certainly burn tons of calories. I seem to remember that the trick was to aim a snowball at a good-looking young man - not that I would ever lead you astray or anything!

Kim

Good luck in the challenge too! I think that we are both on good challenge teams. The thing that you forget is that I have had generally good overall weight loss - but my weight loss is always very skewed. Every month I enter the 2 pound a week challenge - and every month I explain that I consider my results to be a success even though I have only lost as much as two pounds on one stellar week and the other weeks I have lost a small amount, stayed static or had my weight go up. This is despite maintaining my food control and exercise across the whole month - not having good days / weeks and bad days / weeks like most people would imagine. In the last challenge I had a week when my weight stayed the same and a week when it went up!

The thing is - I really wouldnt be at all surprised if my weight goes up next week. It has been drifting up by a fifth of a pound a day most days this week.

It is more than possible that I will be one of the people kicked out next week if everyone is good with their junk food and exercise.

One of the reasons that I was stunned by my December result is that I lost most of the weight during the week that included Christmas. My weight was static for the 8 days until Christmas Eve. I truly thought that my December weight loss week would not happen or be a gain.

Take care
Love
Margaret

you can still play in the snow if the snow ever comes. i would love to play around! haha i think i'm a little old for that 'trick' now but it may happen accidently...u can never know.....

;-)

Hey - maybe you are never too old for that trick.

If we get snow - maybe hubby had better look out - and he is in his mid forties (see - even my toy boy got older!)

haha! never too old for tricks...old is in the head not in the number!

good luck with the challenge tomorrow...i think i should sleep.

OLD is a con - the number says that I am old - but I dont feel old at all!

Thanks Margaret,

The ticker is definatly wanting to move down, Im looking forward to being 14stone something instead of 15stone something. It sounds silly cause there is hardly any difference but it just makes me feel so much better!
