    Is that your little doggie, Marie? A nice idea, putting him on your profile on an otherwise very sad day. Anne.

    Thanks -- and it's beautiful Central New York...not NYC... we are nicer (LOL). But you can have our winters. Daughter/husband etc love this area and with a 3rd grandchild on the way, I don't see us moving to a warmer climate...will have to settle for mini-getaways. :)

    I expected good numbers based upon my daily “monitoring” (zero change last Mon) and today is my usual “record weigh-in day.”

    Down 4 lbs! – averages out to 2 lbs a week over the last 14 days. I’m very happy. Started the day with a 40 minute walk (3.1 mph) & burned 236 calories.

    Then chowed down on: BREAKFAST: Fresh Spinach Cold Water Washed, 1/4 cup cooked; Driscoll - Raspberries, 1 oz; Seasoned quinoa, tomato & feta cheese,.20 g; Sweet Baby Peppers - 0.75 oz; Banana, 0.75 oz,; Fat Free American Cheese, 0.5 slice; Egg Busters, 1/4 cup; I Can't Believe Its Not Butter - Butter Spray, 5 sprays; TOTAL CALORIES: 129

    So still in the negative calorie category going into lunch...just where I like it.

    So are you Marie, you have a pretty, kind and loving face. I can tell just by looking at you that you are a "people" person. By the way, don't be fooled, finally at 79 the gray is coming in fast and furious now it's stopped falling out, lol.

    Afternoon Goldies,

    Anne - Love the new picture, for 79 you have less gray than me. :( Lovely picture.

    Marie - I see you are still doing great with your eating plan. Kudos! Also still having raining I hope Alice can get your fit bit going soon. :D

    We had snow today, and my DH was snow blowing the driveway so I could get out and go to my Yoga Class. Nice to get out all kinks from the weekend.

    Dinner tonight at our friends across the border and she making dinner to coincide with our South Beach. She is such a dear to do that so we can stay on track.

    Barbie - I remember that song Sugar Pie Honey Bunch. I used to sing it in the car when it came on the radio.

    Have a good evening

    Shirley

    Are you like me Shirley, never dyed your hair? I suppose I'm a bit odd but I've never understood these celebrities etc who have face lifts, nose jobs etc. unless they have to do it to keep working? I think the secret is to enjoy every age as it comes along and for what it is. I'm not very good but I love to paint portraits and an older lived in face is so much more interesting than the "tight" faces of some. By the way you are also one pretty lady. Did I tell you my youngest does a bit of sailing too?
    Anne.

    Morning everyone,

    Anne - I used to dye my hair for years. I was born a blonde so that is the color I used.
    I had tried some other colors but always went back to blonde. When I retired and stopped working, I said I want to see what my hair looks like after all these years. So I did it, with the help of my hairdresser. I was a little worried it might be that yellowy gray but no, it was a silvery gray and I love it. I never went back.

    It is very cold today and going down to 1F tonight.

    I joined a choir and our first rehearsal is tonight and it would be one of the coldest nights. :s

    Enjoy your day

    Shirley

    SHIRLEY you look great, natural. I'm afraid, after peering at my locks, mine WILL be that yellow grey and I might just have to eat my words! Serves me right for spouting off. Lol.

    Side note. When I lived in the UK I had reddish hair like the rest of my moms family. One Quebec winter and the red virtually vanished. Go figure!

    I tried the red too, it looked nice but was always hard to keep up and it faded fast.
    I had to buy special shampoo. I could see you as a red head. A nice auburn red.

    NikonPal,
    What a wonderful breakfast for just 198 calories! What a way to use those fruits and vegetables. Made my oatmeal look pitiful after seeing what you ate, even though I add nuts and fruit. I will also have an egg a bit later.

    Confession coming up, I cut my own hair, proper cheap, me, and it LOOKS as if I cut it myself. Talk about a birds nest. I was born to be a witch I think, all that Celt and Gaelic in me, sigh. I MISS my auburn hair Shirley, maybe I should rethink dyeing!
