Morning
Very cold this morning -7 today it's very sunny out but cold.
Dinner tonight with friends at a German restaurant and an NHL hockey game.
I will have to bundle up.
Enjoy the day.

They tried to stop me with sub-zero weather and ice-covered doors – but I didn’t let them. (LOL). Burned 412 calories doing 75 minutes of cardio exercises…then a nice low calorie breakfast!

Happy Sunday!
Very cold here as well but I am still going to go to Mass, like Lin I will layer up. I was lazy yesterday and didn't do any exercise and feel so guilty today. Of course I gained a little because I went over my calories. Today I will make up for it and try to do much more on exercise including riding the bike and Wii. Only two weeks left to lose 5 more pounds, can I do it?????
Bob, your breakfast looks so good, since I am short of time I will just have some cheerios.
Marie, doing great on your one, one, one, I am so happy you found something you like and stick with. Congratulations on the weight loss.
Shirley, have fun with your friends and keep warm both outside and in the hockey rink.
I am going to go grocery shopping after Church but might stop by and see Babe and Daisy first. He is still miserable and depressed but maybe he will cheer up a little if I stop.
Have a great day everyone.

Good morning sneaker friends! After an amazing Valentine dinner and dessert, it is back to work on the PLAN. It is to be sunny today but this promise has failed to materialize. I still have high hopes. It is chilly and damp right now. I am struggling with the protein thing currently. I have never been crazy about meat but there is a lot other protein that it good. It takes a bit more effort to fix dinner however. Hearing about all the cold and snow makes me realize that rain isn't so bad. This really isn't the prettiest time of year even though we do have daffodils up and smiling. Thanks everyone for the info about vitamin D. Looking into adding more after a quick chat with my DR.
The old puppies are so demanding but loveable. One of the doggies is an early riser. (4:30) and we are night owls. This is cause for cranky comments from me and hubby gets very grumpy. There is always a nap I suppose. We have been able to avoid the flu but it is everywhere around here. The idea of a trip is so tempting. We worry about the dogs and they are at the age they need meds and extra attention. Boarding them would be cruel. So we will enjoy being home, looking after the dogs and getting out on the beach...in a parka and wool cap instead of a swimsuit!0 -
Does anyone have the thread or link to 70's and steady?0

No, sorry have not heard of it. Have to tried searching first?0

Where does my time disappear? At least I was able to read your posts, which I hate missing. Sorry for JACKIE's loss, but she is no longer suffering, at least. Mike wanted to see the afternoon movie, so we watched "The Judge". Have you ever seen a movie where you disliked all the characters yet couldn't tear away? Very intense movie, right to the finish! Robert Duvall only gets better and Robert Downey Jr does an incredible acting job, veering from loving father to despicable lawyer, to heartbroken son! You might need a strong stomach, but I never dozed off even once!!! Restless Leg problem so I must walk around. I wish you all sunshine!

Love Robert Duvall..Open Range, Godfather, Tender Mercies, The Judge, Civil Action and others.
As for Robert Downey Jr. – so glad he cleaned his act up. Loved him since the movie Chaplin (superb performance), Iron Man, The Pick- Up Artist and admittedly some turkeys.

Saw The Judge on the “big screen.” It was, as you said, intense at times – liked it!

Re: weather - we are now told (-) 35 is possible with windchill -- and -30 was bad enough. I would tell you I also made it to church today - but my nose might grow an inch or two.:)
Going to watch some of the SNL 40th now... but its 3 hrs - so might miss some of it.
Have a great night everyone.
Bob0 -
Took a long nap this afternoon because we have someplace to go tonight that starts at 7:00 which would normally be my bedtime. Spent a lot of time riding the exercise bike and watching TV and knitting or watching TV and folding laundry....not much time on the computer...beautiful sunny day and many signs of spring being right around the corner.

Watching SNL now. Hoping my furnace continues to work until the repair people get here.......I'm on the list for a repair call tomorrow. It took over 5 hours to get the temperature up about 6 degrees this afternoon. Now the furnace can't hold the temperature at the thermostat setting. I have my gas fireplace going in my family room so may sleep down here tonight. We'll see.
Making a list of stuff to do tomorrow. I hope it's warmer.
Nothing like your weather Bob but cold enough for me.
See you tomorrow.
Lin0 -
I just had the same experience some of you have had. My post disappeared! Makes me crazy! I also saw The Judge and loved it. There is also a charming little movie called Chef with a cameo of Robert Downey jr. That was a hoot! The movie was cute and had a sweet story. The down side was all of the beautiful shots of wonderful food being prepared. Made me want to run into the kitchen and cook up something delicious and most likely high calorie. I have been collecting photos on my iPad to share but so far unsuccessful. I tried emailing them to senior golden sneakers but that didn't work. Any suggestions? I love seeing the photos. Happy Presidents' Day. I will eat cherry jello in "celebration." Patsy0

We got home today and we leave tomorrow. Cold here. Just finished reading the posts.
Lin we have several electric heaters, those little ones can bring the temp up a few degrees.
Hope you all are warm and stay safe. Honey and kitties are good.
Phoebe0 -
Yippee---the furnace has run continually overnight but it kept running! A service guy is on his way right now. More later.
Lin0 -

yippee to everyone else

Off to leg treatment. Concert tonight. Hope to find time to join you later this afternoon. Yes, I agree Robert Downey Jr was worth waiting for to clean up his act. It CAN work for some!! Buzz 0

Hello all - furnace is all mended. You will not believe it but according to the technician, running two individual room humidifiers in my home with the type of water we have in this suburb created this white powdery dust (which I have seen on my furniture) and that the furnace sucked in and totally clogged the filter. So since I have the annual service plan, a mere $100+ for the new filter and all is well.
Hi Marie - your items to cook sound good and filling. Enjoy!
Buzz - another busy day. I am glad you are getting these leg treatments. Everyone wants to be as healthy as we can be. Enjoy the concert!
Phoebe - you are just so busy busy busy now. You guys are working all the time now! Stay safe and I am so glad you do not have a Northern route. (Sorry to anyone living up that way--the snow is crazy in the NE!)
Talk to you later. I gotta walk!!
Lin0 -
Happy Monday!! School holiday so no Robby. I am doing laundry and then going to the Mall. My cleaning girl is coming this afternoon and I prefer not to be home when she is cleaning. Two weeks from today I will be sailing, just can't come fast enough.
I have wasted time on the computer so I have to get moving now, will try to check in later.
Have a good one!!

Hello
Another cold day but sunny. Out for breakfast with Dave this morning, hard to find a place open due to Family Day here which is a holiday for some.
Doing laundry as we speak and still have to get my exercise in and practice my choir music as I have practice on Tuesday night.
Still adding some items here and there to my suitcase. Departure is Saturday and now that the temperatures have plummeted I can't wait to get going to the beach.
Last night was a hockey game and the Flyers won 2-l against the Sabres. I haven't been to a game in 10 years, lots of things changed in the arena but not the players. I heard they are at the bottom of the league this year. Dinner at the German restaurant was good but I expected more. Famous place before hockey games, so pretty much like pub food but quasi German. I guess when you go to the country and get the real thing nothing tastes like it.
We had fun anyway, but it was -9 walking back to the car.

Per TMZ : Lesley Gore -- who exploded on the music scene with "It's My Party" -- has died. Gore, who followed her 1963 hit with a string of huge songs, including "Judy's Turn to Cry," "You Don't Own Me," and "Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows," also composed songs for the movie "Fame" in 1980. Gore was nominated for an Academy Award for one of the songs, "Out Here on My Own." Gore was openly gay and leaves behind a partner, Lois Sasson. We're told she died in a NYC hospital following a battle with cancer.
My sister played her albums all weekend back in the 60's ...:)0 -
Sorry to hear about Lesley Gore, I sure do remember her songs....
Thanks for letting us know.

FYI - only - PBS
THE ITALIAN AMERICANS, a new two-part, four-hour documentary series about the Italian experience in America, will premiere on PBS on Tuesdays, February 17 and 24, 2015, 9–11 p.m. ET (check local listings). The series, written and produced by John Maggio and narrated by Academy Award-nominated actor Stanley Tucci, explores the evolution of Italian Americans from the late nineteenth century to today, from “outsiders” once viewed with suspicion and mistrust to some of the most prominent leaders of business, politics and the arts today.

Great morning – car didn’t start, automatic garage door wouldn’t close, problem with one toilet not flushing, father-in-law under weather a bit & needed groceries, train reservations made months ago were cancelled because of weather – and that was before noon. LOL
However, I am always reminded of the “real” problems so many people are fighting. You just need to watch the news or have friends struggling with debilitating health or other issues to be thankful for just waking up.
Warmer weather is calling…and in the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger “I’ll be back.”
My goal is to “lose or not gain.” I have my plan and just need to execute with discipline.
Of course that is easy to say since I am not yet face-to-face with daily “burgers, pizza, self-serve soft-serve ice cream, endless bacon, humongous steaks, entrées dripping with cheese and decadent desserts, fast-food options with pub fare, burrito joints, BBQ stations and fried fish.” LOL
Wishing everyone warm days and good health…

Bob, thanks for the information about Lesley Gore; too bad she suffered.However, I am always reminded of the “real” problems so many people are fighting. You just need to watch the news or have friends struggling with debilitating health or other issues to be thankful for just waking up.
Bob
I appreciated your quoted paragraph so much, being in a community that makes me appreciate how lucky I am! I am thankful every time I look around and realize what true problems are, and how brave so many of my friends and acquaintances truly are, never complaining or asking for sympathy. we are all here to give help and support to one another!
The concert we attended tonight featured DuDu (What a name!) Fischer, whom Mike has seen on Public TV and enjoyed. He is a fine entertainer/singer from Jerusalem, and among his props are huge backdrops of Jerusalem, so it was quite a nostalgic evening for us, having spent our first trip together in Greece and Israel. He has played Jean Valjean in Les Mis, as well as Phantom, and he brought down the house with his rendition of "Bring Him Home". There was not a dry eye in the Church, which is where the concert series is held; fabulous acoustics, and huge screens to help everyone see everything! We also loved his excerpts from Fiddler on the Roof, especially Sunrise, Sunset!
Yes, when did all our children grow up? Wasn't it yesterday they were so little? Oh well, time flies when we are........, you finish it!
Off to bed now, as I have much sorting to do tomorrow, before the not- so-great-at-cleaning girl comes Thursday. She's nice, she's honest, she's bright, and she knows the difference between cleaning supplies, and it does help to think things are cleaner when she leaves! I have given up looking for the wonderful cleaning help of my earlier years. They don't seem to be available in Florida! Have a good one, everybody! Buzz 0 -
A gorgeous start to the day with crisp frost and a clear blue sky so I'm about to head for the moors with George.
Bob ~That's sad about Lesley Gore whose singles I played constantly as a teenager, in fact I'll take a look through the collection I still possess later and give them a play in her memory. "You don't own me" must have driven my parents mad when it was blasted out at full volume.... a difficult teenager trying to make a point!! Just been watching news of the snow and cold in your area and a comment that the President had to take to the road because his helicopter couldn't take off.... it's a hard life!! So many temptations out there when it comes to junk food but I'm convinced your strength of mind won't allow you to travel that road again!
Buzz ~ That concert sounds thoroughly entertaining and another reminder of my past as Fiddler on the Roof LP is also among my collection of albums.
Marie ~ I'm delighted you've pretty well reached your weight loss goal and have found a routine that works for you. Hopefully once Spring arrives you'll be able to walk a little too.
Lin ~ Great news your furnace is repaired but what a bizarre reason for it to clog up in the first place. At least you now know about your water! That chewy flapjack of mine remains in the cupboard!!
Shirley and Sandy ~ Not too long before you head for warmth and sunshine. You won't miss that snow I bet!
George is fidgeting so must get going. Have a good day and take care in that icy weather.

We left georgia yesterday around 3pm. Arrived at the shipper in Alabama at 5pm. And still here!
Some days it goes like this. At least we aren't driving on ice!
Lin, maybe check out cool mist humidifier, supposed to be no white mist?
Phoebe0 -
Good morning
Off to drive our Grandson to kindergarten but found a few minutes to catch up.
Buzz - I really enjoyed The Judge. Great movie and I agree about Robert Downey Jr. The concert sounded good - great place you live in. Good for you.
Lin - glad you got your furnace fixed. You commented the other day about how much weight you lost and I was so impressed again with your commitment. It's people like you who provide me with inspiration to keep at it.
Bob - quite a start to the day. LOL. Love your positive attitude. That's how I like to look at things too. If you knew me in person, you'd see a smile on my face all the time. I'm passing one in to you too. LOL
JACKIE - your walk sounds fantastic. I love walking outside in nature's beauty. Have fun.
Phoebe - glad to have you check in.
Shirley - you are having quite the winter. At least you don't have all the snow the Maritimes has. My husband's cousin sent pictures of where they live in Truro NS and all I can say is WOW. Glad I'm here.
Sandy - your holiday is coming up quick. Enjoy your mall day for sure.
Marie - you are doing so well with your food. Both the snack and the hamburger soup sounds delicious.
BARBIE - your weather sounds wonderful. My sister who lives in Mt Vernon, was making me jealous telling me about her yard. Sigh .... A long way to spring in Calgary.
I haven't been able to do much walking as my foot is sore. I've learned to take it easy when that happens. Perhaps I'll hit the exercise bike tonight if I can. I'll see how that goes
Have a great day everyone.

Good morning sneakers.
my goodness Bob keep us so well inform.. A very intelligent person.
Jackie I have not reach my goal. But did reach a Mini goal. But it takes these Mini goals to reach the big ones. For the first time I found the perfect plan for me.
The sun is shinning here but cold. Warm up is headed our way.
I am happy to hear Sandy and Shirley are headed to warmer weather . they both been through a taught winter. You too Bob But you are sticking with NYC
jeri. you can see the smiles on your face thru you
Lin did you have a pleasant and warm night? Got me a pot of pint beans cooking will have some fried cabbage and "1" corn muffin. to go with it.
Good news about my sinus infection . It is almost gone. and I feel so good.
Love to all.Marie

Happy Tuesday!! Not that happy really, Robby is sick with a cold so his mom stayed home because there are antibiotics in breast milk and she didn't want to take him out in the cold. I offered to sit there but because of the milk she declined. I am going there at 1:30 so she can run errands and get her hair done so I will probably be there until Rob gets home. I got to sleep in for a few days so I am well rested. The weight is coming off slow but sure, just not sure I can get rid of three pounds in a week and a half. With Lent starting tomorrow and Ash Wednesday being a fast day, that will certainly help.
Babe is coming with a check for me and possibly some items needed. He is still depressed about his son, he told him that he didn't want to see him unless he stopped drinking. Babe doesn't understand he has no control over his son's drinking but a lot of people don't who don't go to Al Anon. Babe has new meds which make him groggy, I think he is over medicated but he doesn't listen.
Bob, I too love Lesley Gore's music and like Jackie blasted some of them to make a point.
I still connect memories with music and get put back in time with certain songs.
I better get moving, hopefully I have time to do some Wii before Babe gets here and will ride the bike tonight. Have a great day.
