Whipping winds of the Blizzard of ’77 create a challenge…

Last month, I flew to LA on business. I arrived to beautiful 77 degree weather. Most of my time was spent working but I did get in a little outdoor pool time before heading home.

As I began to write this I suddenly got a flashback. The number 77 reminded me of the whipping winds of the Blizzard of ‘77. I was 9 years old at the time and I remember being dismissed early from school. I could barely see as the raging winds whipped my face as I walked home with my sister.

The winds ranged from 46 to 69 mph blasting the city of Buffalo with the record breaking snow that had accumulated on the lake. The storm deemed “The White Death” stranded thousands of people burying them in their homes and cars.

The walk home was a challenge. Living without power for weeks was a challenge. Yet what I remember most is huddling with my family over candlelight, singing “99 bottles of beer on the wall.” And the giant mountain of snow that the National Guard dumped in the vacant lot next to my house. We played “King of the Hill” in between warming up inside with hot chocolate and marshmallows.

Challenges come and go throughout our lives. And as we battle them, our weight can fluctuate.

After having my second child, I had a hard time losing the “baby weight.” Almost everyone I tell that story to, has a similar story. Either when their mom died or they were going through a divorce. Or even when they were starting a new career because of stress.

That’s why I wrote “Zipping It Up: How to lose 5 pounds fast – and look great in that little black dress!” To help you with your weight loss challenges. Whatever your challenges are, whether it’s weight loss, eating healthier or motivation to exercise.
