Hi
I was out walking 7900 steps + 2cents
We are heading into a brief period of warmer weather, Yea. The Snow is slowly melting away, That caused some problems when I went out with icing on the sidewalks due to overnight temperatures.
Today I think I will be somewhat lazy and not do to much. Tomorrow on my walk I need to return a book to the library and pick up Bananas as Tomorrow before my walk I will be eating my last Banana.
Have a Good Upcoming Week

Overcast, but warm. Should be close to 70 by late afternoon..Would love to see the sun, but warm will be fine!!
Have listened to more of the food summit, and had my nutty seedy breakfast. It does stay with me for a good 4 to 5 hours, which is nice!
Cats out, and all their boxes clean.
Couple of chores I'd like to at least 'tackle'...and pretty much a quiet day. Maybe a bit of outside time.
Jack posted the results of the first game today ended in a tie. Better than a loss IMO...but not necessarily the spin of the coach!!
Later...
Hi Valerie
Too true, better a Tie than a loss OTOH...
I should Vacuum today, but tomorrow I should do Laundry and maybe that will be Chores day including Vacuuming
Enjoy the Warm Weather

Hi Ed
A Raise in pay is a good thing. I'm still waiting for Some tax documents and Pension check. They seem to always wait until the last minute to mail.
Enjoy the Extra $$

Good Afternoon you Early Risers!!
I have been up for quite awhile. Did some of those 'chores' that just get done periodically..(like when your conscious begins picking on you!) So, that done, kitty stuff done, listening to the Summit interviews that I either missed, or enjoyed enough I want to hear them again. They're out there for another 20 hours or $80 bucks!!! I'll stick with all day listening.
News is on now, and phone on the charger.
Back door is open, its that mild this morning! Too early for many bugs, and pine pollen...yet feels good and smells good. Tom E. Cat has been in and out all morning. He's loving this. The other cat took off as usual and won't be seen til late afternoon when he's hungry again!!!
This morning early I saw a commercial for Avocado's from Mexico...it was cute...showed how much guac it would add up to if they put all the guac we'll consume during the Super Bowl....like 53 feet deep in the Super Bowl!!! The other high demand item will be Pizza. Oh, but that made me really want to change my diet for the day!!! I don't think I've had pizza in 5 years....I dare not order one, cuz I'd eat the whole darn thing! May look at Whole Foods for a very small fresh one...surely one day of cheese on a little pizza won't kill me???
So much for my day...
Ed congrats on the raise! Always makes for happier pay days! I'm sure it was large cuz they like your work and work ethic.
Roger...your walking is inspiring! Hope you can find some nice ripe banana's. Ours are always so green they need a couple days to ripen.... Although looking at my banana's...I'm going to be in the same place you are this week!
Later...0 -
Howdy y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! Supposed to be unseasonably warm again today with thunderstorms tonight. Just what we need, more rain.
Anyway, off to the rat mines.

Good Morning...its Tuesday...and its not quite noon...
still watching bits and snatches of the nutritional summit. Its been extended twice...so I'm pretty sure this is the end, unless I wake in the middle of the night. NO!
Cats out, boxes cleaned, dishwasher running, washer washing...I'm the only lazy one sitting on my bottom! LOL!!
I think today I will do my weekly Wednesday groceries....I'll miss out on the discount, but I have that make up appointment with my chiro, tomorrow and it just makes for less 'time demands' if I do general shopping today, and then pick up a couple things at Whole Foods in MidTown tomorrow. By the time I'm finished seeing Dr. Pat, the rain should have moved out...fingers crossed for that to happen!
Friday Marietta and I are going to try having lunch again...since our plans got slashed last week. So Friday will be a 'salad lunch' and a lot of fun gabbing!
I'm thinking that's about all I know...
Roger hope you have a great walk today, and that you found all the sidewalks clean, and no ice. Oh, throw in a quarter or two for a fun find.

Hi
I went walking this morning at approx 7:40 and it was 11 degrees colder than yesterday for the same time. Not to bad however, Then when my brother left at 11AM I walked up to the bank and then over to the dollar store looking for the UHT milk quarts. No Joy
Total Steps so far 14,598 as of 12:30.
Have a Nice Tuesday

Hi Valerie
I did pick up Bananas this morning, I think the ripest one will be edible tomorrow
Also a head of lettuce for me and Small Red Potatoes, two Red Peppers, Portuguese Rolls, 2 Mushrooms and Cherry Tomatoes for my Brother. TBH they have not been that tasty since the Fresh Summer harvest ended. The Ones we grew were so much better.
Nothing like being able to leave the door open and get fresh air into the house.parityanimal wrote: »Howdy y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! Supposed to be unseasonably warm again today with thunderstorms tonight. Just what we need, more rain.

Hi Ed
I suspect that is the same rain headed my way for Wednesday.
Last forecast I saw said into the area by 6AM which would definitely disrupt my morning walking
OTOH it could be worse either of us could be having lots of Snow.
Cheers

Hi Again
Will You be missing out on much of a discount?
The Sidewalks were in decent shape, Some puddling from snow melt that I had to work around and I had to cross the highway twice to have sidewalks that were clear. I was talking to the School Crossing Guard Monday and he said where is the enforcement for having the sidewalks cleaned off within 24 hours of the Snowfall ending.
No Money Today, 2 cents yesterday, I'm going to be rich this way
Good Luck with the Rain moving out for You
Roger0 -
Hi...glad to know 'most' of your sidewalks were clean Roger.
Sun is shining brightly right this minute....and warm. Yeah, I do love to open up the doors, but very soon it will either be to cold, too hot, to much pollen, especially that yellow pine pollen...but till then, taking this weather as a gift!
Savings for seniors is 5%..so it varies from week to week, depending on what I buy. I don't think I have that much to pick up today, so it will probably be less that $1.50 savings. Sometimes its worth it to not have the hassle!...
If your getting our rain on Wednesday, this will be one quick moving front. I haven't looked at a weather map, but I'm guessing you're getting somebody else's rain!!! maybe?
I'm heading out....0 -
Boy, was it foggy this morning! Positively creepy. The fog didn't start lifting from the fuel center area until after 10:00!
But I got through the morning, restocked the candy, chips, motor oil, fuel treatments, Red Bull, chewing gum, and cold coffee drinks - well, I got them all from the store and left the J that works for me to actually place the goods. Then I went back in the store and, hopefully, completed next week's schedule, came home, ate lunch and took a nap.
Dinner was salad (thanks, CSA box from last Friday!), home made spicy vegetable soup, and some mini-quiche appetizers that were in the manager's special sale freezer at work. The soup was spicy enough to make me sweat and open up my sinuses, which was exactly what I needed!
Just the soup pot and ladle left to wash and I'm done.
Leftover soup too, that can be tomorrow's lunch, with a small, grilled cheese sandwich.

Hi
I used Atkins frozen Dinners as I had a coupon for it and it looked good. I had the Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo Frozen meal. The calories are a bit higher than the NS Chicken in BBQ Baked beans @ 330 calories. 26G Protein, High Sodium @ 1070mg, 4g of fiber seems low and 9g of carbohydrates, Not unexpected as Atkins is a low Carb high protein diet plan. 9ounces weight vs the NS Chicken Alfredo, however the NS has no vegetables and lots of pasta and less chicken. The Amount of Chicken in the NS seems to be all over the place too.
Mini review. Tasty with pieces of Broccoli and several Nice sized pieces of Chicken Breast meat, slightly salty taste but I will probably buy again if I can find another $1 off coupon for one entree.
The other Atkin Entree I tried was their Beef Merlot with Broccoli. Tasty will buy again Nice quantity of Beef. 9G Carbs, 920g sodium, 3g fiber and 310 calories. 9 ounces weight
I did get out for my walk this morning, The rain has not really moved in yet I did get drizzled on for a little while and then it stopped. 20 degrees warmer that yesterday for the same time according to the Weatherman.
Have a Nice Wednesday

Hi Valerie
I agree for $1.50 probably not worth the bother. I only had one somewhat slippery spot this morning and that was where the snow had been beaten down rather than properly shoveled.
I used to leave the front doors open as much as possible at work.
I think the weather map showed out rain streaming up from Your area so we are getting Your used rain
It is also supposed to be nice and warm today. It seemed somewhat chilly this morning. I should have worn the Mittens rather than the gloves so my fingers were a bit cold as a result.
Have a Good Day

Did the fog slow down sales?

Good Afternoon Guys!
I really was an early riser...honest! Up at 6:30, needed to take a shower, and we were having loud thunder boomers! Hmmm. Wonder has anyone ever really died from lightening while showering? I didn't want to test that out, so I waited, ate breakfast, had my coffee...saw my 'window of opportunity' and got my shower in before I left for Atlanta and my Chiro....
Had a good visit with her, left her with a word of surprise/wisdom. She fixed my lower back (only second time in all these years we've had to do that), and my mid back, and my usual old C6...she told me to have a good day, thanked me for not coming last week while contagious, and I told her I was heading for my pharmacy...she looked at me kinda funny and I told her I was heading for the produce section of Whole Foods...that it was my "Farm-acy". She liked that! And its the truth to boot.
I've got about 50 minutes to take an nap before DS1 calls, and I think I will do just that. Had my farmacy salad, and the chicken fried tofu from the hot bar, and now I'd like to sleep a few minutes.
Later...0 -
Howdy again y'all.
Hard to say whether the fog affected business yesterday, because Tuesdays can be slow anyway. The rain this morning certainly did! I did manage to get all my tagging done, eventually, but it took a while as I had to take a long rain break on the outside part once the deluge hit. But there was plenty of tagging to do inside so I certainly wasn't bored.
Veggies and tofu are roasting in the oven now. I slept a little longer in my nap than intended, so dinner will be late, but that's OK. I must have needed the sleep. I need to stir the veggies and tofu around a bit in a few minutes and then wait half an hour or so while it cooks some more.
It's got tofu cubes, turnip, rutabaga, parsnips, onion, zucchini, one potato, garlic powder, extra spicy Mrs. Dash, salt, pepper, Spike herb blend, and a little super hot chili crush. Should be good. I spent quite a while working with all those veggies, so it better be good! LOL.
Later gators, gotta go stir.

Howdy y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! Looks like February is making a comeback today, with temperature only to 53 and down to 28 tonight.
After all that rain, they're still talking about flooding even though it's supposed to be sunny and nice today.

Good Morning!
Thought I'd stop in here before I got too wrapped up in the internet or nutritional classes! My cat boys are outside early today, so I've had time to enjoy my coffee.
Time to do a quick fb pass thru...read Bloom County, and then get busy...its chore day. Funny how often that day comes around! I even cleaned in my sleep last night! I remember running the sweeper and burning out the motor??? As I think about that, I recall seeing a recall on the news last night about Dirt Devil sweepers being recalled because they catch fire....I don't even OWN a Dirt Devil, but I suspect that was enough to trigger my sleeping brain to run the vacuum for me...
Roger and Ed! You all are just having fun cooking! The entree's that you bought Roger sound good, til I read the sodium content..yikes! As long as you don't have blood pressure issues its ok though! Its nice that you can branch out and enjoy some entree's that aren't NS. NS is good, but after awhile its great to supplement/enhance your dinners!
Ed, as usual your dinners that you concoct sound delicious! I hadn't thought about roasting my tofu along with my root veggies....thanks for the 'Eureka' brain nudge!!! Makes perfect sense! Maybe not for today, as I have a big container of spinach that needs to be sautéed, and some asparagus to steam, but we have some colder temps moving in over the weekend, and I do believe that I can almost smell roasting happening Sat afternoon or Sunday!!
Time for another cup of coffee while I watch my seminar. Later...0 -
Hi
When I went out walking this morning the weather was OK, Everything was wet from the rain, however the rain was gone and the temperatures were mild for February too. I was showing 50 degrees on the front porch when I left around 7:30. Tomorrow the weather is forecast to be colder with either wet snow or rain in the morning
The Walking is much easier with much of the snow melted off of the sidewalks, Yea!
I tried what was suggested with the NS Frozen Bacon Egg Cheese Muffin and microwaved it to defrost it, Then put the Muffin in the toaster, Microwaved the Egg and Canadian style bacon, Placed the cheese on the muffin after it came out of the toaster. Much better textures that way. Thank You to the person who suggested doing it that way.
Have a Great Thursday

As Long as You were able to stay dry
Our Weather today is supposed to be similar to Yours. I'll take it We had flood warnings for a fair portion of the state Wednesday, Today only a small area.

Hi Valerie
I like that, Farmacy
I seem to recall that they say to stay out of the shower in a thunderstorm and not touch the faucets too. I'm not sure how dangerous it really is. I suspect You have a better chance of getting injured or killed when You get in the car and leave the safety of Your house.
BTW According to the news this morning they spent three years developing these. I do not know if it is available by You but:
Non-dairy eaters no longer have to sit back and pout in jealousy as others enjoy Ben & Jerry’s.
The ice cream maker announced Wednesday that it has started offering vegan varieties in four flavors—Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Chunky Monkey, P.B. & Cookies, and Coffee Caramel Fudge. The first two are Ben & Jerry’s classics, and the last two have been made special for those who don’t eat dairy.

Hi Again
I should look into the Dirt Devil recall, We have three uprights, one for each level of the house. No lugging them up and down stairs. They were a really expensive $50 + sales tax each, new at the local appliance store.
I was running one vacuum in the living room last night at 9:15PM. Some nameless dummy spilled part of his NS Popcorn on the rug
I agree high on sodium however my BP is OK and the only real issue is water retention from all the sodium.
As I remember from Yesterdays weather forecast You are heading into cold weather in the Atlanta area, I thought I saw them say 12 degrees?
Have a Great Day & Stay Warm
Roger0 -
Howdy y'all. It's fabulous Friday! J still has a cold or whatever and I'm still souping it up. Made more (but different) spicy vegetable soup last night and if it was any more chunky it would have been a casserole with a thin sauce!
33 degrees out there (feels like 27) and looking at the forecast the coldest I see coming up is 24 sometime in the next ten days or so. It has not reached the coldest for tonight yet, as that will likely hit about 8:00 in the morning.
Went to the doctor for starving...er, I mean fasting blood work yesterday afternoon. I did eat food but nothing later than 6:30 a.m. so it was long enough by the time I got off work and got to the doctor's office. In a couple of weeks we'll see what results the vampires got.
Got to eat and head off to the rat mines! Maybe all the rats will be in hibernation.

Good Early Morning!
TGIF for sure! And Ed you were spot on about the temps...28 on the back porch at 8:30. I took a trash bag of goodies to the trash can since the trash guys hadn't run yet....it really didn't feel bad at all. And its still...no wind. But, I think thats returning later today..argggg.
Lunch at Sweet Tomatoes today with Marietta. We'll chat 'a bit'....HA HA!!
Chores went well yesterday, surprised my self by finishing the list! (could be the list was too short?)
Anyhow, Done is done
Ed...Docs are mean! First they starve you...and then they send in the batty ones to drain your blood!!! I can laugh at that since I was a 'batty one' for 25 years. Make a fist....little stick! I think I probably say that in my sleep. LOL! Though my blood letting days ended when I went to the Red Cross, as I only did testing, etc.
I hope J is feeling much better by today...being sick is no fun!
Roger, wondering what your weather is this morning. Didn't hear anything on the news, so maybe its not flooding or snowing in your part of the world. And I suspect you're right about there being more danger of being killed in your car that in your shower in a storm! OTOH, I DO remember as a kid seeing a fireball shoot across the kitchen during a good thunder storm....it came from the old crank phone on the wall and shot across the room...I think had you been in the 'line of fire' it could have been trouble...
I think while my 'gentlemen' are outdoors I will take my shower, and then do something...no solid plan for today.
Later...

Hi
I think I went nuts this morning
Currently it is snowing, started around 6AM, I got fully dressed in rain gear and Insulated Shoe replacement boots and went out walking around 7:15. I will say that the walking was not bad due to staying on a route where the sidewalks had been cleaned and dry from the previous snow. 8200+ steps I was back home around 9:10. My guess that the walking would be good with traction from the snow was proven correct
Later on when the snow stops and the town has plowed my street back out shoveling
I did see them plowing as I was nearing the house. They do the streets that get more traffic such as that street first.
Have a Nice Friday

And I suspect you're right about there being more danger of being killed in your car that in your shower in a storm! OTOH, I DO remember as a kid seeing a fireball shoot across the kitchen during a good thunder storm....it came from the old crank phone on the wall and shot across the room...I think had you been in the 'line of fire' it could have been trouble...
I think while my 'gentlemen' are outdoors I will take my shower, and then do something...no solid plan for today.
Later...
Hi Valerie
As You can see from my intro post I am dealing with snow. It has now stopped and is melting off of things. We will go out later, a little bit after noontime and do a cleanup shoveling of it. I would guess 1+ inches of heavy wet snow. They plowed the cross street by the house a few minutes ago. OTOH now that the snow seems to be melting maybe they won't plow us, Hopefully.
Stay Warm
Roger

Not too busy this morning at work. Fridays, one never knows.
Got a late start on dinner again, but tonight it's roasted veggies gratin. Bell pepper, onion, zucchini, turnip, rutabaga, potato, shaken in a bag with a little EVOO, several good shakes of Spike, some crushed rosemary, hot Hungarian paprika, regular (American?) paprika, and a hearty sprinkle of six cheese Italian blend and some sharp Cheddar, tossed back into the oven to brown the cheese a bit.
Tonight’s wine choice:
Lar De Oro Tempranillo Syrah blend, 2014, 70% Tempranillo, 30% Syrah. A delightful Spanish wine blend.
I really am not terribly crazy about Syrah/Shiraz, but in blends like this it works nicely. I AM very fond of Tempranillo.
Fairly soft tannins, but just a hint of sharpness. A very fruity, slightly sweet taste. And I have another bottle of this in the wine cellar, along with the rest of THIS bottle.

Happy Saturday, y'all!
I've been up for quite a while, but distracted by feeding Lilo, feeding me, washing up most of last night's dishes, cutting up a mango (ate most of it but chopped up a little bit for the sugar gliders to have tonight) and getting some spicy, curried, vegetarian, split pea soup going in a crockpot. J has never, to his knowledge, had split pea soup and I thought it might be nice for lunch. His cold continues to progress. He didn't particularly WANT dinner last night but I made it so he ate it. That's a good boy...

Hi Ed, Valerie
I am delaying my walk this morning as I want to stop by the bank and it does not open until 9AM. So Dunkin Donuts for a refill coffee, and stop at the bank later. Out the door around 8AM.
10 +/- degrees colder than yesterday at this time. Colder air in the forecast for next week and a probability of Snow Monday, maybe Tuesday and several other days in the week showing in the 7 day forecast
Have a Great Weekend

And now I've got that bunch of kale from last week cleaned, torn, and cooking in a smaller slow cooker! This week's collards can wait a few days. I do need to make salad either today or tomorrow to use the lettuce though. Still running a week or so behind usually on eating potatoes and onion, but that's all right as they keep well. All caught up on the other root vegetables except I still haven't gotten around to doing anything with that burdock...well, I'll get to it. Really!
I have beets and carrots coming next week. And more potatoes and onion...

Hi Ed
So true, leaf vegetables must be used first. Burdock is something I never tried. I await Your review of it and how You handled it.
Thank You

The split pea soup came out quite nicely! J had a good bowl of it for his lunch, even though he still didn't really feel all that much like eating. But I made it for him, and he ate it. I put a good spoonful of the braised kale on my bowl and stirred it in, but he declined on the kale. Soup and kale leftovers in the fridge!

Well, I didn't win the Powerball last night...again. Sigh.
Howdy y'all. It's scintillating Sunday! Felt kind of blah last night but feel somewhat better this morning. I guess I need to get out this morning to get some bottled water and some more cold medicine for J.
I've been up for an hour or so but distracted by the usuals.
The internet can be SO distracting!

Hi
I was out walking today + 7 cents. I seem to be making covering the same distance in fewer steps and a little quicker than I was last year. I guess that's progress There were several people out walking the Dog or Jogging today, more than I usually see. I also got out again yesterday afternoon for a little while walking. Banking steps and working on extra weight loss for my next weigh in.
It was a little cold when I left, It did warm up OK as the walk progressed however. They are still saying some snow Tomorrow arriving around 5Am and maybe more from a different system Monday night into Tuesday
I was just looking at my food on hand and thinking I am heavy on Breakfasts, Lunches and Snacks. Not quite so much on Dinners. I had delayed my next order by two weeks, I am now thinking that I may delay even longer. My best guess is based on this reply last year from NutriSystem
"Here is how we make substitutions for our foods with the Day Off Guide:
Breakfast Entree = 1 PF + 1 SC
Lunch Entree = 1 PF + 1 SC
Dinner Entree = 2 PF + 1 SC
Dessert = 1 SC"
Thus It seems I could use Lunches or Breakfasts as Dinners by adding a PF easily and get my meals into balance that way. I have also noticed that the Breakfasts seem to be lower calorie overall compared to Lunches.
Have a Great Sunday

Hi Ed
Winning the Powerball would be nice. In my case I didn't have to look as I had no ticket
I hope You are feeling better too.
We only drink bottled water in this house. City water is not that good and if You leave a water spot on a black or brown surface such as the bathroom sinks when it dries it leave a white residue behind that can be hard to clean if not kept after.
You do not want to know how much time I wasted yesterday on that huge timesink called the Internet.
Have a Great Day
Roger
Hi Valerie
I hope my opening answers any questions You might have
Enjoy Your day
Roger the Non working Bum
BTW I was listening to the Shadow on my walk today. Shows advertising the Red Cross from less than a year after the war in Europe ended. I know that as they mention that a year ago today there was fighting in the streets of Cologne0 -
Good Morning Guys...oops...Happy Afternoon!
Cats fed, cleaned up after, one out, one already back in.... DoorKeeper at their service!!! LOL!!
Have also listened to yet another nutritional video. My book about epigenetics has arrived. Hmmm, the very word epigenetics has thrown spell check into a fit of hysterics! Guess we'll have to learn this together!!! (and I do have it spelled correctly)
I was late eating this morning, so its just now time to head to the kitchen for some lunch....thats good cuz I'm hungry~
Ed will think I'm retarded...but last night for the first time in a very long time I made a really good, basic hummus! I had a streak where whatever I made, and whatever I added, corrected, etc. just was nasty!!
So, there will be a few non-GMO tortilla chips along with a heap of veggies should I decide to watch the commercials tonite.
Hope you both have a good day....and that none of us end up with a snowy reality to the forecasted future!!! (yeah, Roger, we're hearing 4 letter s words down here too...)

Howdy y'all. It's marvelous Monday! Cold out there, but not snow weather, yet...
Off to the salt races!

Going to make this a busy day....get some things off my list...
For now, off to the kitchen to find my nutty seedy breakfast!

Hi
I was out walking + 12 Cents, a little earlier than usual due to the weather forecast showing Snow starting shortly. It was 37 Degrees this morning with a intermittent Breeze which made it feel colder when it was blowing.
I added a a little distance to my walk. I'll have to go to MapMyRun later and see how far I walked. I am with the weather forecast showing some snow today and more tonight into tomorrow from a different weather system.
Off to breakfast shortly featuring The NS Granola Cereal with Low fat UHT milk and a NS Vanilla Protein Shake. I already had a Banana before I left for my walk as Well as a Extra Large 7 Eleven Coffee where I used Decaf & Regular coffee mixed together in the cup.
Have a Great Monday

Hi Valerie
I Agree, Snow is a four letter word I dislike hearing from the weatherman too.
Non-GMO has become the next thing to trumpet/Boast about on Your food packaging
Have a Great Day
