" />" width="500" height="214" alt="ccb" />" />Alaska has been incredibly warm lately. Today it was 24 degrees! A few days ago it was in the 50's! Imagine that! In town, the snow is actually melting. The warmer weather is on account of the "chinook winds", so I hear. Something about warming wind from the ocean....whatever. I am way to tired to figure it out right now.
In Alaska anything above 0 is a great day for playing outside, so the preschool kids got some time to play today. Like I said earlier, all this warm weather is causing a great deal of the snow to melt. What is left (a lot of water) hardens to ice. Not fun for parking lot walking but great for sledding. The kids enjoyed the heck out it with reckless abandon. They had little regard for anything in their path (me).
Today was the day for returning to work/preschool after the lazy days of New Year's. It really took its toll too. To top off my part-time day job ( I know, I am such a wuss) I went to the gym afterward, with very little enthusiasm. You see, I am suffering from what is known as "The Atkins Diet Gaunt" (ok, it really isn't "known" as that). It means, I. am. SO. weak. I feel gaunt, but I am not gaunt. I feel like I am low on blood or something. Simple tasks make me want to fall out.
I know The Atkins Diet isn't exactly the healthiest way to go, but I had to do something ya'll. This diet has worked for me in the past AND it is simple. I am limiting myself to 2 Diet Mountain Dews a day, drinking pond loads of water, and eating meat. And vegetables. I know I will acclimate to this no sugar, low caffeine way of life soon. I am planning to stick to it. I know this because I posted it here. If I somehow knew I was going to fail, no way Id' be sharing it here.
Man. I just remembered. We are going to a pizza party tomorrow.
I guess I can always just rake the top off. My sister taught me that. She's always had such stellar table manners.

Beautiful photo.
ReplyDeleteI love the Atkins diet...I always feel so much better when I am on it. I stick more to chicken and fish for my meats. The pic is beautiful
ReplyDeleteJust letting you know that I dropped by your blog for the first time ever after reading through the long list of introductions on Cold Antler Farms' blog. Hello from Michigan!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos on your blog!
Thanks Ma.
ReplyDeleteTonia, I am feeling a little better now. I find that I am choosing not to eat more often because I am just not interested in the options available.
Shari, I am so glad you stopped by! Thanks for the compliment!
Weyell, you know I got crack head skinny when I was on the Atkin's Diet. You can, too sister! Just stick to it! I need to start some sort of diet something up here real quick. I'm looking more "full-figured" lately. I did rake off the top of the pizza last night, but I ate the bread on the one Ethan made in the oven tonight. I gave Jessie a couple bites so I could drag her down with me.
ReplyDeleteCrack head skinny??? Oh yeah. Let's do it.
