Hey, Hey You!

Heeeeeeyyyyyy you guuuuuuuys.
Where do you live?
Yes, I'm talking to each of you. So make sure you answer.
I live in Memphis.
And here, when it rains and it's cold/when bad weather is expected/when there is 1 cm of snow, schools close.
With a quickness.

Luckily, my work does too.
{Knock on wood.}
Yesterday we got sleet.
And schools closed 1 hour early.
And work closed around 2:30.
I move lightning fast when I get an email that says "Due to inclement weather....." cause I know the streets will be insane.
I work on the naval base which was awesome when I was single so everyone scambles to get off the base at the same time.
And this chick moves fast and doesn't like to wait in lines.

This morning, schools were closed.
And work wasn't.
Womp, womp.

Luckily, I work a flexible schedule.
So, instead of getting here at 6:30 like normal, I got here at 8:45.
Holla!
And I'll be leaving around noon.
It's like a little game of chance...if I leave before they dismiss us, I have to use my own vacation time. If I hold out until they dismiss us, I get paid without using vacation time. Which is ideal. Obvs.

When it sleets/snows/there's any kind of warning, there is a MAD dash to the grocery store.
It's like we are shopping like it's 1999 and the end of the world is near.
I was so freaking freaked out in 1999, what would we do without the internet??? Am I the only one that was scared?

But, this girl has groceries for days in her house.
Which is both a blessing and a curse.
Snowed in the house = eating like a horse. All. Dang. Day.
But not me, I'm not going down like that.

I have been faithful to MFP for almost 2 weeks now.
Follow me on there @MrsLoYoung.
And my challenge ends on Friday.
I have never stuck to anything in my life this long, y'all.
Workout wise, I mean.

And I've gotten obsessed with working out.
For real, when I heard there was ice, my first thought was "Would it be dumb to rain in sleet?"
Cause my half marathon training requires running, in case you didn't know. And I am following it to a tee.
Also, I can't miss out on the elliptical.
I think I'm addicted to it.
Yesterday, I reached 60 minutes and restarted the thing to get to 90 minutes...but alas, I had to go home to cook dinner so I didn't make it.
But I wanted to....that's what's crazy!!!
I love seeing that calorie burn on there and I love getting the "Way to go girl!" remarks on MFP/IG/my blog.

It's like a drug that I can't stop.
I've also decided that even if I get knocked up {say a little prayer that I do please and thank you}, I'll still be getting my butt and my bun (in the oven) up on that elliptical.

I'll be back tomorrow with my weigh in post....
I can already tell you that unless I start working out now and don't eat until tomorrow morning {totally not happening, don't worry} then I won't have a huge loss to report like I did last week.
But my head is still held high because hard work and not giving up is the combination that WILL eventually bring big results.

Happy Tuesday Y'all!
Can I go home now?! Pin It Now!
