Superbowl, super gain

I was at 203.8 prior to the Superbowl, the next morning, well over 207. I have managed to get back on track and get back down to 204.6 this morning. That isn't too bad considering that I haven't gone to the gym since last week. I did use my treadmill on Monday, but yesterday I wasn't able to get in any exercise.

I went in to work on Saturday. We were supposed to have a meeting that morning, but we got a huge ice storm so it was canceled. I went in anyway and worked on my program. I probably worked about 6 or 7 hours. It is amazing how much more I can get done when I am not being constantly interrupted.

That ice storm was awful. There was probably over an inch of solid ice over everything. The weather did warm up a little and thaw out a little but of the ice. It still took about 20 minutes to chip out my car on Saturday morning.

On Sunday, I got all my chores done and we did our grocery shopping. We went to Julie and Travis's house to watch the Superbowl. We brought Sloaner along with us. I made some homemade pita chips, so queso dip, and some bean dip. We also brought along some tortilla chips. Travis made up some chicken wings, some bacon and scallops, meatballs, onion rings, mozzarella sticks, and we had some cookies as well. It is no wonder I packed on a few pounds that night.

I thought I would go in early on Monday to get a little done, but the Corolla got stuck in the iced over driveway. I tried for a half hour or so to get it out of the ice, but I couldn't do it myself. Luckily, I was able to get ahold of Dad to come give me a hand. We couldn't push it out at first, so we tried to tow it out with the Jeep. I don't have any chains, but Phil had given me a rope that was supposedly super strong that they use in the phone business. We had to wrap it around the back axle. But, of course, it snapped as soon as we pulled it. So we ended up getting some shovels and chipping out as much of the ice as possible. We then rocked it by pushing and gunning the gas and we were able to make it over the hump. So I was late for work. But at least I got the car out.

Jaime had another snow day yesterday. I didn't think it was that bad outside. She is really into getting this Relay for Life Bingo set up this Saturday. It will be nice when that is behind us!
