Snowmageddon (Western WA version)

Well, I do not have a lot to talk about.  Did you hear about "snowmageddon" in Seattle?  Well, we had a lot of snow.  I heard that Seattle's average yearly snowfall is about 5 inches, we do not get that all at once, and I think the last 2 or 3 years we've gotten an inch or so.  This last week we got 19 inches, in the same news report that I heard the average yearly snowfall was 5 in., I also heard that Seattle got that much, and more, in one day.  Now we are dealing with close to 40 days and freezing temperatures overnight.  So all that snow that is melting during the day, is freezing at night, creating an icerink outside.  Thankfully most of the roads are cleared and I have hiking boots that I have worn 13 days in a row.  =/

 And yes, I have been running. 

And drinking in the snow.

I have not been running far, but I am still running 4 days a week.  Well, I should say I am running 7 days a week, but 3 of those days are one mile on the treadmill.

This week has been difficult with my eating.  I was not good at all on Monday and Tuesday, so we will see how my weigh-in goes tomorrow.  I didn't even weigh myself yesterday, I didn't really want to see the damage I had done.  So silly to go crazy two weeks before leaving for Hawaii. 

I went clothes shopping with my sister and it was depressing.  Not just because she's so small right now, but because of the snow the stores put all their winter clothes back out.  We were going shopping for our trip, so we wanted spring/summery clothes and all they had were sweaters. =(  It was very depressing.

By the way, Happy Valentine's Day.  I have never been a big fan of Valentine's Day but exactly one year ago today my Mom made a snowman, took a selfie, and fell, breaking her leg.  That was the beginning of the end, 19 days later she died.
