More humor again
Hi
I'm back from walking again and no cents. The temperature this morning was 25 on the porch and 27 on the cable news channel, Cooler than yesterday. Their is Snow turning to rain in the forecast for Tomorrow.
The footing was good this morning. If Yesterdays weather forecast is to be believed the day will start with snow and turn to rain where I am and be mainly a rain event in South Jersey.
Well I was sore for the rest of the day yesterday and I do have a smallish bruise, Oh well it could have been worse. I got out later in the morning again as I walked to the bank which brought up my walking time to normal. It had turned bitter out due to a brisk breeze with gusts of wind that went through my clothes.
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
Hmm... I have run into chemicals in the air in the past that took my breath away, made my nose run, Throat burn and eyes burn which is why I was wondering.
The black ice that formed yesterday got me yesterday when walking. I was crossing a side road, luckily no traffic when I slipped on the ice and took a tumble. As slick as the road was I did not try and get up. If You can imagine seeing it, what I ended up doing was sliding on my backside to the curb to find enough traction to stand up and then I reversed back to the house. It seemed as if the sidewalks and roads were getting icier as the morning went on.
Congratulations on getting compliments

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...
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!!
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
Hi Jan
Lasagna is so tasty, just so fattening too. I have had to avoid eating out. When we meet friends for a meal it will usually be at the Diner, a Chinese Buffet or the Thai place, none of which are small entrees.
I do tend to take the easy way and buy Frozen Entrees to supplement the NS Lunches and Dinners with tasty other flavors.
I'm sorry to hear that the lady makes bad choices

Hi
I'm back from walking again and no cents. The temperature this morning was 26 on the porch and 31 on the cable news channel. The Snow in the forecast that should turn to rain has not yet started, thus the walking was OK, It would have been better without the mild breeze adding a wind chill
As I look out the window right now at 7:15 I see that the snow has arrived, It appears that I made it back to the house with a small margin of time ahead of the snow. Lucky me not having to go out into the rush hour and drive in snow.

Hi Val
I have footwear that has an aggressive tread that I could have worn if I had thought they would be needed. OTOH they are no better on ice, nothing I have works on ice. I suspect I would need something with spikes that attached to the shoes, I also suspect that if I spent the money on them that given that I walk on sidewalks or roads that the spikes would wear off really quickly.
Thanks for the Suggestions
Roger
Hi Jan2 -
Good morning!
I spent most of yesterday helping that lady and getting her back on track. She has multi problems, a lot of which are psychological. Great heart but too much baggage. She is kind of the most stable in her family, sad to say.. The few siblings do not want to deal with her anymore, and she is more stable than her children. The whole family is dysfunctional. it is not so much of a power of attorney thing as she needs to live in a half way house situation permanently, which I believe does not exist as a service. I only see her surviving in a situation where she has some guidance because she knows what to do, but is so unfocused she cannot sustain positive progress to support herself. It is complicated. I would not dare risk the repercussions because she has every chance to do well, and always blows it at the most critical time to pull it together. She is very smart and quick, but gets so full of the trivial, she cannot keep track of the important. If anyone needed disability it is her. I do not condone handouts, but in this case, try as she can, she seems incapable of being able to put it together and sustaining. Any one that had a power of attorney for her would be putting themselves in a very dangerous position. I can not help her anymore, other than advice or she will drag me down with her, especially financially. It is sad because she tries so hard, unlike some that just want handouts and milk it. Truly shows how the system does not help those who need it, but can grant others to use the system and take advantage. Tirade over....
I also am glad you were not hurt, Roger! It sounded like a very unpleasant situation, and one that you could really have been hurt worse! Scary, and I know how careful you are! No repeats please!!
All somber stories in your post. I worked for a company like many of the stories. Sometimes it is like management goes to stupid school...
I am the lowest weight I have been in 9 months. Not the lowest though in a year. Slow progress, but happy there is progress!
Looks like icky weather for the south and east for a day! Take care all!! Have a good day! ...Jan 1 -
13-hour day...this new role is even more crazy than the rest of my job. Jan—that is a sad and frustrating situation. Congrats on doing well with your weight! Roger—glad you beat the snow!1

Hi
I'm back from walking again and 1 cent. The temperature this morning was 27 on the porch and 28 on the cable news channel. The Snow yesterday turned to rain and by 7PM all the snow was melted away by the rain. I did have to detour slightly around a few icy spots on the sidewalks, overall everything had dried out by the time I left to go walking.
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

I must agree with Your premise regarding way the system works. Some people can game the system to their advantage. Be careful not to get caught up in a mess.
It was not too bad as long as I was careful walking once I realized that things were icing up.I also am glad you were not hurt, Roger! It sounded like a very unpleasant situation, and one that you could really have been hurt worse! Scary, and I know how careful you are! No repeats please!!

Hi Jan
Our last gas and electric Bill was the worst I can remember too, It was over $400
Ours was the worst from the gas used for heat, I am guessing You have electric heat or were using electric heaters ?
You can see how I did with my Hungry Day Thursday...
Thursday was not a good day for me with food, My brother went to the grocery store and brought a Cheddar Cheese that was on sale and a 50% off Sandwich both of which were for me. The Sandwich was Humongous ans sadly I ate the whole thing It was Three huge slices of Rye which had a layer of Cole Slaw, Swiss Cheese and Ham and supposedly Thousand Island Dressing between the middle bread and the top and bottom layers. Tasty too, I say supposedly Thousand Island Dressing as I did not spot it or taste it. For such a huge sandwich it was only $3.99, I should have weighed it before eating if for no other reason than curiosity. I did at least remove the middle layer of Rye bread.
Oh well, Back to 100% NS plan for me and no weighing until the water weight I know I gained has come off. Too many Carbs make me retain water worse than salt does.
I need to go over my NS order this morning and order a NS gift card from CostCo to finish paying got it with discounted money so to speak. The Alternative is Reduce some of the A La Carte items. I do add them and then extend the next order for the three months allowed
Congratulations on this too,

This new boss is well known to get rid of anyone complaining about overtime. Plus I don’t want him to think of me as medically inferior...again to try to protect my employment status. Finally—-8 weeks late, my short term disability was approved so (supposedly) a check is in the mail. What a wretched system! Not everyone can float an unexpected absence of income for that long. Forgive me if I already said this, but the “benefits” employees that never responded to my emails or calls—in December they had all been told they were being laid off—to me that seems like they stopped working and punished me for their employment situation. On top of everything—-that makes me angry and ill. It’s like an ambulance arriving but refusing to perform their job. Oh-and last night, that new boss emailed me saying I am not going to have that added role. Good. Except I don’t know why.1

Hi Val
I guess as long as they pay for the overtime or are You on salary ? I was on salary rather then by the hour once, Never again!
It is hard to blame them for being Ticked off, OTOH to take it out on someone that needs their help is so wrong.
Hopefully the not having the added work is all to the good.
Good Luck

Good morning!
Interesting articles, loved the sheets story! I do not feel so lax about mine now. Growing up and for a long time I changed, and most people I know, changed sheets once a week . How interesting...I wait a bit myself now, as changing sheets rate up there with cleaning toilets, lol. I still try to do that weekly...
I understand about the sandwich! I am craving one myself, like the hoagie kind or really good bread. How funny I am in the new weight area and my body is insisting on a big plate of spaghetti or 12 inch sub...it is like my body knows....
Well, I am not going to crab about my electric bill now. I was only $245.00. It usually runs below $180.00 though with the winter months only slightly more...Yikes!
I am having some gain due to salt, mostly. Less than a pound though. My daughter made me some stock that was the best I have ever had. It was SO good. I used it for a vegetable soup with a few little meatballs thrown in. It had some soy in it, as it can also be used for Pho and other oriental dishes. But excellent as stock for about anything!
She is bringing a fundraiser boston butt from school tonite we are splitting. And I am staying for dinner. This will be a meat portion challenge, and we will have leftovers.

I'm glad You enjoyed the articles, I try for interesting ones.
When I was delivering in NYC I used to be able to stop by Kosher Delis and get great Sandwiches and others with great Salad bars. That was one of the only good things about Manhattan, NY. I did use to enjoy going to see Broadway plays back in the 80s mostly before the pricing on them became obscene. Some of what I saw was the King & I with Yul Brynner, Godspell and more.
The sandwich was tasty, it was also large enough to feed three people easily.Well, I am not going to crab about my electric bill now. I was only $245.00. It usually runs below $180.00 though with the winter months only slightly more...Yikes!

Our last Gas & Electric Bill was over $400, You got off lightly in comparison.
I have decided that Salt has less of an effect on my retaining water than Carbohydrates.
Was it the stock that was salty ?
I curious, a fundraiser boston butt ? is that heated ready to go or does it have to be heated ?
I struggle, Yesterday my Brother baked a Kielbasa in a cast iron skillet and I had some, as far as I can tell I had around 170 calories of it, It was so tasty too, I could have eaten a lot more if it was not fair to do that to my brother. That is all extra calories I ate for the day
My NS order closed on the 8th, I hope the limited time frozen dinners make it as I would like to try them. I missed the one with the Pork, It showed discontinued by the time my last order showed up and it had been a new item that appeared after the order before that that one so it came and went in less than three months Those would be the

So the color is off putting because it doesn't look red enough and grilled enough like a slim jim HOWEVER the taste is amazing. It tastes just like the link sausages you can get at the polish and Russian markets without the fat white pieces sticking through.....oh and it tastes better than a slim jim.

I’m salaried and do not receive overtime pay or comp time. I only worked 45 hour last week which wasn’t bad. I really dislike the 70+ hour weeks. And I’m really not able to do that right now. Still recovering. Thrush is driving me bonkers...so im increasing my probiotics (yes, using bacteria to fight yeast).1

Good morning!
We had 3 inches of rain a few days ago. And we are getting a good soaking now. We need it. Looks like N.J. is getting some rain too!
The NS "slim jim" sounds good! How much sugar is in one, as it is a sweet jerky? My stock has salt from the soy sauce added, but it give a sweet taste, not salty. It was just right, had sodium added but not salty to the taste. Sodium does me in though!

Hi Val
I hope that being salaried works for You. I would hate a 70+ hour week too, It was bad enough working 53 hour weeks for years at my last job. That would have been five 9 hour days and a 8 hour day for Saturday and one whole day off, Sunday.
From what the Weather forecast I saw this morning before going walking said that South Jersey had already had over an inch of rain Saturday with more coming today.
There was a light rain when I left the house and as a result of that and the forecast for heavier rain I wore a complete set of rain gear and Waterproof boots.
Good Luck with the Thrush and Probiotics

Good morning!
We had 3 inches of rain a few days ago. And we are getting a good soaking now. We need it. Looks like N.J. is getting some rain too!
The NS "slim jim" sounds good! How much sugar is in one, as it is a sweet jerky? My stock has salt from the soy sauce added, but it give a sweet taste, not salty. It was just right, had sodium added but not salty to the taste. Sodium does me in though!
Good posts here and with humor! Hang in all! Should have wrote sooner, lol! traveling to bed! Jan
Hi Jan
The rain so far is not heavy and is steady OTOH and the forecast is for heavy rain later with 2+ inches for my area in the total rainfall.
The NS "Slim Jim" nutrition information shows this.
Total Carbohydrate 2g 1%
Dietary Fiber 0g 0%
Sugars 1g
1 gram of sugar is minimal
My brother uses a low Sodium Soy Sauce when he uses any.
Enjoy the New Humor and links

Hello!
Rainy day here all day. It is warmer and supposed to be in the 70's this week. I'll take that!!
Interesting and nice the NS "slim jim" has only 1 gram sugar. Some of the teriyaki sticks and other sticks can really get up there and you really have to read the labels! I did good today, so I was happy. Skipped the church guest lunch, so staying accountable was much easier.
Great humor and articles again.
My daughter picked the butts up from school all cooked and ready to eat. The school has a deal with a local bbq place here. The have 3 huge smokers and cooked over 200 for the school, and sold them for $35. They were huge and very delicious! Do not know the percent of who gets what, but it is a big money maker. It pays for the school band, uniforms and instruments.
I use the lower salt soy too, but the last bottle I bought was the good stuff from the oriental restaurant we frequent.
Val, I hope your thrush heals, I know you are tired of the whole mess and ready to be done with it!
Cudos, Roger for walking in the rain!! ...Jan1 -
Yet more humor is now posted as well as a WWII item.
Hi
I'm back from walking again and no cents. The temperature this morning was 53 on the porch and 56 on the cable news channel. The heavy rain in yesterdays forecast ended by evening. While I was out walking the temperature dropped to 48 degrees and is forecast to be dropping through the day.

Hospital bill (excluding doctors) was $115,632 before insurance. Two Tylenol $7.00! $11 for a single dose of over the counter cough syrup. CT scan in hospital $10,000 wheras ive had the SAME procedure outpatient was $700. Respiratory services $7,000...and nobody “thought” to give me a steroid inhaler for $10 which solved that problem in three days! This is insane.1

I had a big bag of beef stick ends that we were given by a friend last year. The ones that were eaten were tasty, However I just went to look at the nutrition info and the ones left in the bag had grown fur so they are now in the kitchen garbage can, what a waste
I am not surprised that the Teriyaki sticks are high in sugar.
Lucky You with warm weather, Ours did get into the low 60s yesterday and is now dropping.My daughter picked the butts up from school all cooked and ready to eat. The school has a deal with a local bbq place here. The have 3 huge smokers and cooked over 200 for the school, and sold them for $35. They were huge and very delicious!

I am not surprised that a BBQ place has huge smokers. They sold over 200 of them, Wow.
It has to help to get money for the Band activities.
Have a Good Day

Hi Val
And I keep seeing news about hospitals closing in some areas due to no money, Ha!
I was in overnight some years back and the darn bill IMO was high, It was not even near what Yours is, Wow
Those types of prices are why so many people had trouble paying for health insurance.
And they will not let You sidestep their prices even for OTC items, Ridiculous.
I am not surprised that a inhaler never occurred to them TBH.
Good Luck

Hello!
It is just misting here and gray. I had to make a quick run to the post office and get some cards in the mail. I am really bad about buying cards for people and not getting them out, lol! I made it this time.
Val, those hospital bills are just ridiculous. I know they say to shop around for costs on tests and procedures as they vary by ridiculous prices also.That is not always feasible though. As much as I gripe about insurance, I am glad I have it. We waste so much money in this country. I wish people and businesses would just be more accountable!!
It is misting here and just chilly. So far, so good today, though another hungry day. Probably as I am losing into new territory. How does my body know this, lol?
The pictures of the nuclear site were very surreal. interesting about the animals, though I wonder if they are not just roaming into the area. I noticed no pictures about squirrels and other small animals or birds...creepy!!
Headed for humor!! Keep up the good work all! ...Jan1
