Today the weather forecasters predicted that we would get somewhere in the area of 12" - 18" of snow. For once in their lives, they were correct. Based on the fact that I was going to be snowbound all day, I thought it was going to be hard to stay on plan. Let's face it, what else is there to do when you're stuck in the house. I started off with my usual Hostess blueberry muffins and tried to stay away from the refrigerator/pantry all day long. By 4:30PM, rather than having a snack, I opted for the Jenny Craig cheese ravioli. Here's a picture of it......I wasn't able to find a picture of just the ravioli alone but just know that I didn't eat the macaroni and cheese as well as the brownies shown in the same picture. As soon as I finished eating, the power went out.
There is nothing that makes me angrier than having no power. Since we also have w
ell water and a septic system, when we lose power it also means that we have no water and no use of flushing toilets. It's simply miserable. Once the power went out, I went upstairs with some candles and my book and my book light and read for the rest of the night. At one point it was so cold that I was actually reading with gloves on while under the covers. The power did not return until 9:30AM. Here's a picture of my backyard taken from my upstairs bedroom.
So as bad as the power outage was, it certainly kept me from eating anything else for the day. So all in all, another successful day of eating and way below my recommended 1650 calorie intake.
