    This morning I put in a new DVD of beginning senior yoga...i was so tired and shaky after five minutes! LOL. So sad that I’ve become so weak. That’s just ridiculous...it’s me...the DVD appears quite tame. I lasted through my work day. I need to win the lottery...this is for the birds. Good news, I’m still employed. Dinner tonight was a big salad with tomatoes and just vinegar as the dressing. Plus garlic portabella mushrooms with a splash of mesquite marinade. Full happy stomach.

    Hi Val
    I believe that it will take time to build up back to normal as sick as You were.

    I know it took me time to get back my walking distance the last time I was sick and I only stayed home from walking for less than a week :(

    On the plus side You made it through work. You and me both with winning the lottery, OTOH not buying tickets most of time makes that unlikely.

    Interesting Dinner, Were the Mushrooms roasted or grilled ? It seems that there are Grills made for the Microwave that have a splatter cover and work well from reading another message thread as well as being a really easy cleanup. I had thought about a stovetop grill and decided against it based on probable heavy splattering. I could I suppose drag out the George Foreman Grilling gizmo that my brother bought years ago. I have thought about using it with Ground Beef.

    Take Care

    Got my new Fitbit on Sunday afternoon. 2,000 steps Monday and 2,500 steps today. Survived another day at work. In addition to my two jobs, I accepted a third (so, im in three boxes on the org chart!). I’m now also an EPR Coordinator (making executives do work, give mevthe forms, so i can prepare the review packages). He forwarned me that its herding cats...that readily bite and scratch...and all far out rank me. I said bring it on. Roger, I rarely buy lottery tickets but i just might start. Plum tuckered out...yes, it’s early...but I’m off to bed. I sliced the portabella mushrooms then cooked in a skillet sprayed with olive oil pam. Added garlic and just a splash of mesquite marinade. I need to get more. Very satisfying.

    I have posted more humor, enjoy.

    Hi
    I'm back from walking again and No cents. The temperature this morning was 17 on the porch and 19 on the cable news channel, lower than yesterday. There was a bit of a wind chill too. I was casting a shadow due to the very bright moon this morning.

    The scale was nicely lower than yesterday morning, again, It seems that the "Time-restricted eating" combined with a 100% NS plan is working really well so far. Whee

    Hi Val
    Hopefully the Three jobs work out, It sounds like a lot of work :(

    I say better early to bed than be exhausted and not enjoying being awake.


    Mesquite Marinade, Is a new one, I have heard of using Mesquite in a smoker OTOH.
    FWIW You can actually buy sprayers that work with Olive Oil and could be a better grade of Oil too. OTOH I should talk since I have used a different lower calorie pan spray in the past and My brother buys the Grocery Store Brand of Olive Oil spray for cooking.

    I sort of went off buying the lottery tickets when they tinkered with them and then a price increase too :(
    They have added more numbers to make it harder to win the Big prize so that the Big prize grows bigger to drive sales.

    Have a Good Day

    Hi Jan
    I touched on this but the being finished eating by 4PM combined with the NS plan is working really well currently. This morning was the lowest I have weighed since the Triple Holiday weight gain. I have high hopes.

    I saw this:
    Buttons61 11 hours ago
    Buttons61's food and exercise diary was completed for 1/30/2018 and was under Buttons61's calorie goal

    Congratulations.

    Good morning!

    Today is sunny and warmer, We should hit 60 degrees. Next week chilly again. Good job with consistent walking. I am in awe with the cold temps you walk in, as 50 is cold to me.

    Interesting articles. The fitness app story was interesting. What was the military reaction I wonder? It seems bad for everyone to know their secret bases. That seems like that would be addressed and thought of if you work a place like that way ahead of time. I am not so sure our military is as capable as it was during WW2 and post time era. I think the crazy people in our society is kind of a heads up that we have less stable people everywhere, and people that do not do their jobs well everywhere, and that would include the military. Just my opinion. The fish stories and radiation is kind of creepy too. I am not too sure these are not species that previously we never saw much, and because we have been damaging the oceans, have had their patterns disrupted . Lots of deeper sea creatures are appearing in lots of places, not where they normally are.... :|

    Glad your plan is working so well. I am just stuck on this plateau. Better than gaining, but kind of discouraging. Then my next four days will be challenging... :#

    Take care all, and don't work too hard!! ...Jan

    Hi Jan
    Tomorrow will be interesting due to the weather. My brother & I both have an early appointment at the Eye Doctors for a examination and new glasses prescriptions.

    As I understand it from something I saw in the news the military is now addressing the issue, To late IMO.

    The fish story was just weird. We now have more leaks government than ever. It is sad that people take a oath and then break it.

    Good Luck Breaking the Plateau

    Even more humor today

    Hi
    I'm back from walking again and No cents. The temperature this morning was 37 on the porch and 37 on the cable news channel, Warmer than yesterday. The sky is overcast and there is a light precipitation Falling. The weather forecasts were for rain overnight changing to snow and then as the temperatures keep falling through the day to become icy. I did see a light snow falling as I looked under the streetlights. It does not seem top be sticking anywhere except on cars and lawns. Hopefully it will not impact out trip to the Eye doctor. Both my Brother and I have appointments for this morning.

    The scale was nicely lower than yesterday morning, again, It seems that the "Time-restricted eating" combined with a 100% NS plan is working really well so far. Whee

    Hi Val
    I'm sorry to hear that the Ethics thing bothered You, My Guess is that people are all for ethical treatments until it impacts them they suddenly they become flexible.

    If I said that People are not taught common sense.
    And people are thin skinned to an extreme, People have been hit in the face or slashed in NYC over accidentally bumping someone :(

    Hi !

    I did not realize I had read the posts and hadn't written till this morning! :D i thought I had!

    We had a great lunch yesterday and I never made it to the dinner. I was supposed to be there but just couldn't get excited about heading out again. It was dark and I could not see that well, nor was I hungry. I have decided I really do not like getting out at night, at least in the winter. I also can not tell how I will be feeling that day, to be making a commitment in advance. It is just not the same as someone calling that day to do something. I am not too sure about staying with this group, and I have tried hard to wait and see till I know how things are before committing. It does not seem to help. :D Always something!

    Strange articles all. My dog is unemployed. I think she should get something!!! :) The underground story is just scary. I would not want to have to ride it again! I am feeling somewhat unsafe about our military capabilities...I thought we had moved into coffee being good for us again...not giving it up! The spheres and paralysis were king of strange. Not surprising, however... :o

    Really glad this new diet mix is working so well for you! My lunch yesterday put me back teetering among 3 lbs lost again or not. I was afraid of that.

    Sounds like wicked weather to be getting out in! How was the appt.? Take care all!! ...Jan

    Hi all. I’ve decided to log my food on MFP. I gained 2 pounds following WW to the letter (didn’t even use the weekly bonus points). I’m happy it works for many others. And no, one week is not a fair evaluation period. Energy level has no improvement after a week of no infection and off the antibiotics. I was really expecting to feel better after stopping them, but no. So holding at 75% energy. Happy Saturday

    Well I did post more humor

    Hi
    I'm back from walking again and 1 cent. The temperature this morning was 14 on the porch and 16 on the cable news channel, A fair bit colder than yesterday. The light precipitation that was falling never amounted to anything beyond ice on the windows that looked like rain drops around here. The trip to the Eye doctor where both my Brother and I had appointments for this morning was speedy and uneventful. The roads and sidewalks were dry. OTOH there was the occasional car or pickup truck that had a fair amount of snow on the roads and parking lots that must have come from somewhere that did get snow.

    There is a possibility of Rain or Snow or a a mix that the forecast was saying could keep going back and forth during the fall.

    The Actual Groundhog Day was good, The Eye Exam went well. No Glaucoma and what was described as only a small change in the prescription for glasses. I am hoping that I can get the same model frame as these are the most comfortable I have ever had.

    The News showed that Punxsutawney Phil predicted 6 more weeks of winter. whereas Staten Island Chuck predicted an Early Spring :)

And some other meats to use as Proteins with my meals. Currently all residing in the Freezer Section :)

    Hi Jan
    Things happen :)

    OTOH it appears that You enjoyed the lunch so...
    Just from being curious, What type of Group is it ?

    I sort of try to pick Offbeat and Interesting articles to link :)
    IMO many of them are the types that You will not see anywhere on TV news. Offbeat is often also strange OTOH.

    You can see how the Weather turned out and how the Appointment went in the post above this one :wink:

    I did Overeat somewhat yesterday too :( Thus I skipped climbing on the scale this morning and will climb back on Sunday morning. In honor of this mornings lower temperatures I added the Thermal Pants underneath my normal clothes. Everything was comfortable except my fingers did hurt every time I had to pull of the heated mittens to use the Kleenex, Cold weather makes my nose run. I am hopeful that I will miss the Flu as the Flu shot has now had time to become effective.

    Have a Nice Day

    Hi Val
    If I said that is not a surprise to me with Your results on WW. Is it working well for others, let me go look :smiley:
    My results years ago were an initial loss followed by a gain :(

    I also ran across this list. Since I want real foods and not only shakes...

    Hello!

    No weighing today!!I was like a thousand calories over my limit. It figures as I was actually showing a loss of those three lbs I have been playing with today! But the lasagna and potato salad did me in! The rest was not too bad. Of course it was too late by then! >:)

    The singles club is made up of all singles 55 and over. It started as for widows, men and women, then added single and divorced. Cheryl who started it is very careful who she invites. All very nice clean cut people who she has known, or friends. No younger people out for kicks, predators or mean people. Just a safe place for women, though we have some men, mostly widowed. Most are church goers, though not all.

    From the shopping, cooking and carrying I am exhausted. I could barely walk after I got home. I toured 3 levels of her house. It is like the Biltmore Estates, I swear. The house alone is 7,000 sq feet. Then there is a guest house, and apartment on the property. Out of Homes and Gardens, with 20 acres 2 streams.

    I have still got to cut up 2 chickens- guest lunch tomorrow, and i set up communion trays this month. My back is about out, so interesting day Sunday... :|

    Weight watchers is slow if carbs tend to not make you lose weight. I had to eat lots of protein and veg to lose, not much starch. One a day was best, no more than 2. Need to finish prep, was supposed to be in bed by 11:30! :D

    Earth's magnetic poles ‘about to flip’ killing MILLIONS leaving parts ‘uninhabitable'
    Earth’s magnetic poles have flipped every 200,000 to 300,000 years according to the historical scientific record.
    Scientists believe a flip is long overdue, as the last one was approximately 780,000 years ago.

    I say not happening in my lifetime :)

    Hello!

    No weighing today!!I was like a thousand calories over my limit. It figures as I was actually showing a loss of those three lbs I have been playing with today! But the lasagna and potato salad did me in! The rest was not too bad. Of course it was too late by then! >:)

    The singles club is made up of all singles 55 and over. It started as for widows, men and women, then added single and divorced. Cheryl who started it is very careful who she invites. All very nice clean cut people who she has known, or friends. No younger people out for kicks, predators or mean people. Just a safe place for women, though we have some men, mostly widowed. Most are church goers, though not all.

    From the shopping, cooking and carrying I am exhausted. I could barely walk after I got home. I toured 3 levels of her house. It is like the Biltmore Estates, I swear. The house alone is 7,000 sq feet. Then there is a guest house, and apartment on the property. Out of Homes and Gardens, with 20 acres 2 streams.

    I have still got to cut up 2 chickens- guest lunch tomorrow, and i set up communion trays this month. My back is about out, so interesting day Sunday... :|

    Weight watchers is slow if carbs tend to not make you lose weight. I had to eat lots of protein and veg to lose, not much starch. One a day was best, no more than 2. Need to finish prep, was supposed to be in bed by 11:30! :D
    Hi Jan
    Two favorite foods of mine, I like Lasagna whether it be Cheese or Meat & Cheese types with a slight preference for the meat version. Potato Salad with small chunks of Celery and shredded carrot for example.

    Interesting mix in the Singles club. What a shack, only 7,000 square feet and a paltry 20 acres :smiley: I should be so unlucky as to have something like that. Instead My brother and own a 30 by 30 foot house, Oh well, it is big enough to make cleaning it a chore as is. I'm guessing the that hose has a staff too.

    Were the Whole Chickens so much cheaper than the cut up ones so as to make it worth the effort ?
    I watch a show called Worst Cooks in America, they are hilarious, one example from this season was watching some one using a cutting board to cut vegetables. That doesn't sound wrong until You see her using the wooden cutting board as the knife... And watching them try and break down a Whole Chicken, Butchering the poor thing. Until I watched it I though everybody had some kitchen skills. In a previous season they had contestants that sent family members to the hospital with their cooking and others that set the kitchen on fire while trying to cook.

    I find that Carbs tend to slow my loss down if I eat too many versus if the calories are the same amount as from Proteins or Vegetables.

    Have a Good Day
    Roger

    I took Emily Christmas shopping yesterday and she bought jeans and teeshirts plus a new pair of shoes. Today I was supposed to go to a friend’s house to watch the Superbowl (and chat and eat)...but I’m stuck in bed with a cold (lots of sneezing). I’m sick of being sick! But this is way better than that abdominal infection.

    Hello!

    I am so happy! I only gained a little under 1 lb. and still in that next 10 lb, category! I am thankful, no doubt! Of course I have leftovers I need to eat judiciously. And beware the lb. that shows up later. Still very happy! :)

    I did not eat at the guest lunch today. Well, I did have a small piece of conecuh sausage, a local that is to die for. But that was it! I did dishes and kept my hands busy... :D

    Totally died after getting home. I hardly pet May, I was so tired...I could not walk again hardly, lol.

    Loved the post on the magnetic poles. It has come up before in Catholic visions and even in some American Indian prophesies. I do think it is coming sooner than we think, i believe it, though maybe not in our lifespan...

    Believe it or not, this lady did her house herself for the last seven years! It was her husband and her dream house and he died of cancer. Really sad. they designed it together. It actually fits her family as they had had both her mom and her husband's mom living with them at times, illness and companionship. She had a big family and they visited a lot when the kids's babies were small. She is downsizing as she is tired keeping it up, and she visits the kids more with their young'uns in school now. Very sad. Few people get to do something like that, and then they spent only a few years in it together... I think she sleeps little and keeps moving to cope, I am not to sure she can take the silence...

    Actually, I was cutting up 2 rotisserie chickens to reheat on a serving platter. It took less time to do that for serving than cutting 2 cantaloupes! That took forever!! I took carrots in a honey sauce and cheesecake. Did not bring home anything! :#

    Glad you could get out with Em, Val! I hope you feel better soon!! ...Jan :)

    More humor today

    Hi
    I'm back from walking again and no cents. The temperature this morning was 34 on the porch and 36 on the cable news channel, Warmer than yesterday. Despite the warmer air than yesterday I ended up short cutting my walking after hitting icy patches and slipping.
    The rain in the forecast for yesterday arrived with a few snow flakes that quickly turned to rain into the evening.

    The scale was nicely lower than yesterday morning, again, It seems that the "Time-restricted eating" combined with a 100% NS plan is working really well so far. Whee

    Hi Val
    I wonder if it was a cold or something in the environment when You were shopping that caused a illness type reaction due to allergy.

    I can understand being tired of working, I got that way around ten years before I could retire. Your Employer can have an effect on that too.

    Congratulations on feeling better, Off to work now I'm guessing :smiley:

    Hi Jan
    I have a feeling that some if not most of that weight gain could be water weight.

    I had to look up that sausage, It would appear from the results that it is a brand rather than any specific flavor ?

    That would be tired when You are too tired to pet the dog :(

    I am sure that since they have found evidence of it happening in the past that the poles could shift again.
    There are so many possible civilization ending possibilities that I ignore them, I include the Super Volcano that could erupt in the Midwest. That would be this one if You are interested.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellowstone_Caldera
    The Yellowstone Caldera is a volcanic caldera and supervolcano in Yellowstone National Park in the Western United States, sometimes referred to as the Yellowstone Supervolcano

    That is sad... You could be right about the moving around.

    Ah, I had thought You bought Raw Chickens, Silly me :)
    Around here the best value is the ones from CostCo, They are reasonably priced and huge. Whee, Carrots in a honey sauce and Cheesecake, I would have been doomed.

    Congratulations on resisting bringing any home.

    I survived another day of work. I got compliments on my new role. Luckily I happen to have experience in that subject so I had relevant info to contribute. Re cold vs allergies—I can usually tell the difference plus im on daily allergy meds. Allergies make me sneeze but usually don’t make me feel sick. Whatever it was, glad it left quickly!

    Good morning all!

    I was headed to the doctor and spent the day instead helping that lady from church I was trying to help. I feel so sad when people cannot seem to cope even with several people helping. I think she just does not have the capacity to make enough good choices to outweigh the bad she makes. I think she needs to be in some kind of home or something. More supervision than a friendly helper can give. Bummer day... :s

    Still holding at my spot, even eating my leftover lasagna carefully, and yay, the pasta is gone! I can concentrate more on more protein and less carbs for a few days!! But dang it was good!! :#

    I am blown away by your progress Roger! I feel you get good results especially because the NS works well for you!!
    I am still tweaking as using reg. meals thrown in is often not as disciplined. But slowly I am getting there, just with those pesky eating days, usually church or out, lol!

    Val, I am glad there was some positive coming from work. That part is awesome!! <3 Glad you are over the cold and it was a short duration thing!!

    Take care all, and Roger be careful as on that ice! Well wishes for all Tuesday!!! :) Jan
