First Snow

Hi...

I am so happy! This is the first snow of the year, but second for the Winter. Snow equals a rest day and I can't be more thankful! It is beautiful out there but I am too old and my bones are too brittle. I can't withstand this cold to even enjoy it like I used to. My heater is also out for the season! I sleep in the coldest of all rooms as well and Jamy and I get by with the portable heater. However, I can't help but think that this house is doing us more damage than good. Every Winter this has become our story. It's such an old story that I can't even find the good in it anymore. :/ Then again, there's always good in everything. I just gotta dig deeper I'm sure.

On the flip side, Jamy and I are back on the DASH diet. It's been so difficult for me because I love cooking and conjuring up food. For example, on cold days such as this, I always make an amazing batch of qhaubpiaj. This diet says "NO!" because qhaubpiaj is nothing but starch which will turn into glucose. This diet is calling for absolutely no sugar of any kind for the first two weeks! It's been hard but I'm already on day three! Only eleven more days to go. The good news is that Jamy and I are down 4lbs each! The Weight-loss battle just got real and I will for sure update about it next time. I am praying for a steadfast journey!

Oh, I have great news to share! I've been promoted to team lead in my department at work. It's definitely a blessing from a different light! Glory to God always for His provision in my life in the good and bad times! Today, especially, for this day off. I did absolutely nada and it felt good. See ya!
