weight loss and snow

Okay....first big storm approaching and we will all be housebound for a day or so....for any of you heading to Giant or Safeway this morning my strong advice is NOT to buy the cake making materials, popcorn and any of the other food sources that we tend to turn to when we get snowed in.

There is a certain "nesting" instinct that takes over when we sense being cut off from food/protection....hence the reason why there is a run on toilet paper and milk at the stores despite us all knowing the reality that we will be able to shop the next day or so after the snows that hit our area...we are never "cut off" of food and almost all of us have provisions for days and days.

Being home and feeling housebound produces a boredom factor that results in trips to the kitchen...also,..cooking activities pass the time.

Be sure to not succumb to the boredom eating behaviors that accompany snow days.....we will all be challenged enough in the next several weeks!
