Hi!
I did my running! I got my car serviced. Always free with my warranty. That was nice. They were crowded! I guess everyone else had the same idea. I ate lunch with a friend, and did pretty well. I am putting a gift together so worked on that and hopefully finish that Tuesday.
I guess I have not heard the national weather. i did not realize you all were so cold again. We are like a pleasant fall for now..So subject to change!!
Are you getting your goodies ready for Thanksgiving? I am kind of behind myself!! Luckily my son is doing most of it!! Guess we are getting lazy as we get older down here anyway!!
I will be so home on Black Friday myself...Wild horses would not drag me. Except for church, I hope to spend the week end home and not go anywhere!
My short term memory is the pits! I think I will try that walking backwards, lol...
Val, sorry for the work,but enjoy that trip!
Be warm!! ..Jan1 -

Hi
I'm back home from walking and once again nothing found. The Temperature out the door was 43 degrees.
I did see 5 deer of assorted sizes running into and then down the road around 1.5 blocks ahead of me. Monday turned into a really nice day outside. This morning when walking I should have worn lighter gloves, I ended up with hands that were too warm inside of them or a bit cold without them.
My Brother plans to stop at the grocery Store today for anything that might have been missed Sunday. So far the Cranberry Sauce has been made and is in a container in the refrigerator. Pumpkin Pies will be baked later today. Likely Stuffing and maybe Mashed potatoes made both ready to be heated on Thanksgiving day once the Turkey has been cooked. The main decision is Cook the Turkey Low and Slow or with a higher heat.

Remind me when You are home and I shall send You a mailing address
That does not sound like much of a vacation if You had to work.
Did You hot any snow or bad weather ? The weather forecasts looked iffy from what I could see.
10 to 12 hours a day of driving can be very tiring.

As I see it the only problem with the free Oil change under warranty is that it might, likely is a longer interval than what we do in this house.
We are heading for colder weather, so far not to bad outside Later on this week not so nice IMO.
As You can see in the post with the links we are getting the goodies ready. Probably Wednesday a Tray of Olives, Carrot sticks, Celery and more.
Did I mention I saw a recent episode of Storage Wars where they took some watches to be valued and the Person behind the counter said he had been open since 1947, Wow.
I would try walking backwards except that I know I would end up on my backside looking up
Have a Nice Day

Driving up, we had perfect weather (lowsy traffic though). One night we had snow...i was ip at 2am watching. But bu 7am it had melted except the little bit on my car. I need to start watching the weather for our trip home. I’m okay with working part time. Im still having fun.1
-
Good morning!!
The traffic here is just horrible with the kids out of school and Thanksgiving coming. The grocery stores are crazy too..Happy to be tucked into my little corner and be home for most of it. The craziness has started...and it is loud and never ending..I think I will just watch Hallmark movies from Thanksgiving on, lol...
I know I better do my Christmas early, it takes me forever to accomplish things. We will have great weather, with sun and autumn crispness for the holiday. I can handle that!!
Glad you are still enjoying your break, Val!!
I love when they open lockers and find great stuff. I get tickled how some things often look like nothing and turn out to be quite the find..fun stuff.
I am doing a little better on my macros, having my fat, carbs and proteins in a good ratio. Remembering to add butter to things has certainly helped. I also had to tweak some electrolytes, which I fixed by having a Goya bullion cube packet in hot water for my breakfast drink instead of coffee. I felt so off, and I guess I needed sodium. Such a change from the regular diet and B/P warnings of watching salt. I actually need it. I felt better almost immediately. I also take a magnesium supplement every other day. I do get plenty of potassium from my meats and avocado, so that is not such a problem. I have to admit when I eat keto correctly, I have no cravings and I think I will be okay with my cheats and forgoing the carbs for turkey day! I plan to have one bite of my no no's and maybe not that even..I may actually do this (lose the weight!) if I have the patience to lose the weight slowly. But I can sure tell I am losing inches from my body..Weirdest diet ever...I am liking it...
Take care all!! Waiting for turkey!! Yum!!! ...Jan1 -

I am not surprised that traffic was bad, the busiest travel Holiday IMO.
I am ambivalent regarding working from home, In one way whee, OTOH it can lead to overwork.
Good for You, having fun

I think, believe that traffic is terrible everywhere, Yesterday My brother took almost an hour to do a 15 minute drive due to traffic and it seems that there was no way to avoid it, He Tried.
Hallmark has been doing Christmas Movies for a little while, I noticed that they had a lot tagged in the Guide as NEW.
I need to decide, buy local or Amazon, I need to compare prices, Amazon is not always the best price
I am planning to get a new Kidde Fire Extinguisher for part of my brothers Christmas gift, I know how cheesy, But he is the one that cooks three meals a day on the stove, so safety first.
Sometimes I am amazed at what they find, Gold and silver coins, Valuable art and more.Glad you are still enjoying your break, Val!!

Does the Goya have better sodium levels that the other brands of Bullion Cubes. Nice that You were able to diagnose the problem and cure it so easily. It really helps when there are no cravings. If I cheat it takes a couple of days for them to subside
And here comes Thanksgiving, I hope I can be strong and not overeat with carb laden foods. There will be Pumpkin Pie with home made Whipped Cream, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, Bread Stuffing, Etc.
I prefer Losing inches vs Losing weight and no inches
Have a Good Day

We’re having a happy day-before thanksgiving. I’m working at the kitchen counter while my friend is making pies and deviled eggs and all sorts of wonderful things! I’ve made good progress on my surprise assignments due the 30th. The day i get home, ill be receiving 5 puppies! Ha! I wanted to wait a couple days but well...they need somewhere to go. Our first driving day (Friday) we’ll have rain during our long drive. The second day, we’re expecting dry weather. Trying to get home by 4pm when the puppies get released following their spay/neuter surgeries. Here’s Em with her honorary brother and sister (we’ve known them since Em was 3, the girl was 1, and the boy was 5).

Happy Thanksgiving!!
Great picture Val! You are going to need a vacation after your vacation with the pups coming!! What a schedule!!
Roger, the Goya has lots of sodium. I did not look it up but found one That was close for the tracker. I have to remember to add salt to food, otherwise I need that bullion as replacement as on keto you lose a great deal of it. You drink a lot of water on the keto also. It flushes it out too well sometimes, lol.
I like the red boldface on the link. Not too sure how you did that. Saw the links too. So have you taken up that challenge?
Have a Great Dinner everyone!! We have lots to be thankful for!!
Mind your diets...lol...Jan1 -

We made the Pumpkin Pies Yesterday as well as two batches of Bread Stuffing. One Went into the Turkey this morning and the other was baked in a disposable pan yesterday. Many things are prepped or cooked just awaiting heating later today, Deviled Eggs and the tray with Olives, Celery and Carrots still needs to be done as do the Mashed Potatoes and the Whipped Cream.
The remaining Prep should go pretty quickly. We Just Wash the Potatoes, Slice and boil. The bits of skin in the mashed add a touch of color and taste as do the 1/4 pound of Butter and the milk added while Mashing. Almost forgot Home made gravy using the drippings from the Turkey Roaster once it is cooked
All Low fat foods of course, Not
Congrats one the progress of Your surprise assignments.
I hate driving in the rain TBH, It isn't worth rushing in poor weather and IMO rain is considered that by me. It is not so much my driving skills I fear in rainy or snowy weather it is the other drivers. Especially the new ones that never drove in them or have a new to them vehicle that they may not have the feel of in bad weather.
I don;t blame You for wanting a couple of days to recuperate from Your vacation, oh well.
Wow, the Boy is a head taller. Great Picture
Enjoy the Holiday and Have a Safe Journey Home

You know that You can create Your own custom entries for food in the MFP Tracker ?
I heard a commercial yesterday while out and about on the car radio. There was a bakery advertising their Keto Friendly Cheesecake
That made me curious so I Googled. The page has links to other Keto Desserts
https://www.dietdoctor.com/recipes/low-carb-cheesecake
Keto cheesecake with blueberries
And also I saw this which indicates
https://blog.ketokrate.com/keto-cheesecake-tarts/
Sometimes you just have a craving for cheesecake. The great thing about the Keto diet is that cheesecake is a delicious dessert we can indulge in nearly guilt free. High in fat, moderate in protein and low in carbs it’s actually a pretty complete Keto food. To be completely honest I’ve eaten cheesecake for breakfast on Keto and felt no remorse.
Since I love Cheesecake
How I do the red Boldface is easy, You can see the code by quoting the post and looking at the tags around the Text, Ignore the size ones I leave them in just in case MFP implements the again. You Can Also use other colors like this.
This Link might also help, Sadly MFP does not have all of them implemented.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBCode
I am the only one using that challenge for quite a while, everybody else dropped out, I now use it as a place to put my thoughts in order and had been copying it to the posts. I started it and expected it to run May 23, 2016 to July,3 2016, Oh Well it is what it is.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!1

Good morning!!
Hope everyone's Thanksgiving was a good one! I had too much...I did have about 1 teaspoon of dressing, about 1/4 cup of mashed potatoes and also my keto stuff. I would have done better if I had not had a 2nd plate of keto later in the evening. My downfall was my grandkids made homemade wonderful crackers that we had with cheese. Also a chocolate torte, homemade with an oreo crust. Probably one of the best things I ever had in my life!! I am getting the recipe from them..for holidays, lol... (They don't like pumpkin, sweet potatoe, or pecan pie! 
).
I am happy to get back to my diet though..Hope I did not mess up my blood work for later though!
I was happy to get home, though... long day! My grand kids love to play board games which normally I like. However, I do not have a good memory. The first was movies which we each picked, and there were 6 of us. We made it around the table like 4 times...meaning we had to recite everyone's picks in order from memory..which is 24 movies, and I finally could not remember..no surprise ! Then did Pictionary, and my granddaughter and I came in dead last, due to me of course, lol.. Too much thinking!!! I just do not think as fast as they do,( and really do not want to). I really would have enjoyed just talking and catching up, and reminiscing... Is that awful I enjoy my talks with my older friends more now ? We all have old timers! But still had a good time being together!
I should have followed your food post Roger, I might have done better!!
Love keto cheesecakes!! Those look like good recipes to try!!
Enjoy the holiday and week-end! ...Jan

Hi, Going back to how I had been doing it unless I get another warning that post is being held for moderation to approve it.
I'm back home from walking and once again nothing found. The Temperature out the door was 12 degrees. The weather feels more like Mid winter in temperature. Yesterday broke some record cold temperatures and The 12 degrees will be breaking records too. According to the weather forecasts I saw Yesterday came in as the second coldest Thanksgiving day.
Thanksgiving Day was Good with one exception, That Exception being the overeating.
I ended up eating Buttered Egg Noodles, Mashed Potatoes and Bread Stuffing with some butter melting into them and smothered in Home Made Gravy. Sprouts and Asparagus Deviled Eggs that came out really tasty, A relish tray, And of course Home Made Pumpkin Pie. I passed on the Home Made Whipped Cream and never did get to the Home Made Cranberry sauce. Turkey Breast in my case covered in Gravy too.
Yikes, I will need until Christmas to fully recover I suspect. Then Come Two Holiday meals a week apart.
Later today or Tomorrow I plan on breaking down the Turkey into 9 ounce packages and feed the freezer with much of it. My Brother is planning to break down the Dressing into portions and we will Vacuum seal it as well as much of the Cranberry Sauce. I think that one of the Pumpkin Pies shall be Vacuum Sealed and frozen using a Pleated Vacuum bag that can take the pie, pan and all.

Thanks for the Turkey Day Wishes

Hi JanGood morning!!
Hope everyone's Thanksgiving was a good one! I had too much...I did have about 1 teaspoon of dressing, about 1/4 cup of mashed potatoes and also my keto stuff. I would have done better if I had not had a 2nd plate of keto later in the evening. My downfall was my grandkids made homemade wonderful crackers that we had with cheese. Also a chocolate torte, homemade with an oreo crust. Probably one of the best things I ever had in my life!! I am getting the recipe from them..for holidays, lol... (They don't like pumpkin, sweet potatoes, or pecan pie! ).
I am happy to get back to my diet though..Hope I did not mess up my blood work for later though!
As You can see from my previous post, yesterday when it was done I looked back and thought Yikes !
Did the Mashed Potatoes work for Keto for You.
How Can anyone not like Pumpkin Pie or Pumpkin Bread, Or the Sweet potato version of that.
Pecan Pie, So much sugars in it and so delicious OTOH.
Long days are OK if they do come back to back. I never played Board games like You describe, I have played many board games through the years, just not those.I was happy to get home, though... long day! My grand kids love to play board games which normally I like. However, I do not have a good memory. The first was movies which we each picked, and there were 6 of us. We made it around the table like 4 times...meaning we had to recite everyone's picks in order from memory..which is 24 movies, and I finally could not remember..no surprise ! Then did Pictionary, and my granddaughter and I came in dead last, due to me of course, lol.. Too much thinking!!! I just do not think as fast as they do,( and really do not want to). I really would have enjoyed just talking and catching up, and reminiscing... Is that awful I enjoy my talks with my older friends more now ? We all have old timers! But still had a good time being together!
I should have followed your food post Roger, I might have done better!!
Love keto cheesecakes!! Those look like good recipes to try!!
Enjoy the holiday and week-end! ...Jan
I should have followed my own post too, Oh well at least Thanksgiving Day is only once a year.
I plan to stay in the house now that I am back from walking. No way am I going out shopping today. Until at least next week after Cyber Monday is over.
Have a Nice Day

Hope the rest of your journey is safe and uneventful, Val! I am guessing you hit rain the way back!! Enjoy sleeping in your own bed when you get there!!
The holidays go too fast!! We could use a couple of extra days down here! LOL!
Raining all tonite, it was a good day to stay home, cloudy all day yesterday but perfect be at home weather.
No way I am venturing our either. Too many people!! Not for a bit anyway !!
I was a little hungry today, all that sugar from the tort. Hopefully did not kick me out of keto..We will see. The keto potatoes were fine. I did have a small spoonful of the reg. potatoes..hence the munchies today..Few carbs and lots of protein and water today.. I did okay..
Tomorrow really need to do some work..I have been lazy this last few days,,and it was nice, lol...
Recover from the goodies..Starting to think Christmas!! ...Jan1 -

To me that is a toss up a longer day to have shorter following days drive.
I should talk OTOH, In the past when I went to Florida on vacation I left early in the morning and did not overnight until I was South of Jacksonville Florida when I ran out of energy.
Have a Good Day

Rain is better than Sleet or Snow
I am always happy to be able to look out the window at bad weather and know I can stay inside.
Friday The Thanksgiving meal was so delicious that Friday I ended up heating leftover Mashed Potatoes, Bread Stuffing with butter melted into them along with some homemade gravy. Then I followed that up with Turkey covered in Gravy. Then Brussels Sprouts, Asparagus, Some Green olives stuffed with Pimentos, Black Olives and some Sweet Gherkins followed up with a slice of Homemade Pumpkin Pie and Homemade Whipped cream topping the pie. As a result I am low energy today, A day or two of eating properly will let me have more energy. The leftovers were so tasty however. I do have a Ziploc bag of Celery that I will be using as a snack if I get to feeling hungry which I suspect that I will.
Ouch
Today All the leftovers that are left get portioned up, Vacuum Sealed and Frozen. That should remove any temptations. I will leave some Turkey unfrozen to use for Proteins today.
I stayed off of the roads excluding while I was walking. To many crazy people on the roads.
I agree Carbs will trigger hunger.
I have been looking through mail order catalogs that arrived in the mail for inspiration on Christmas gifts for Family members and friends. Then since I do not like spreading credit Card information all over the internet I look on Amazon and if the price is the same or close enough I buy there.
Have a Nice Day

We’re home! We slept in till 6am, had breakfast and didn’t start driving until daylight! Normally we’re on the road at 4am! My doggies and I were so happy to see each other! They were well lived, but I’m their mama. I was planning on receiving 6 puppies today but that got postponed until next Saturday...which is good. I need time to get back in the swing of things. This was the sunrise yesterday.

Hi!
Beautiful pictures, Val!! I rarely see sunrises!! Night shift has ruined me..total night owl now!!
I had keto leftovers and I ate a bit much myself..But gosh, food is so good!!
I know the dogs were so glad you were home!! Good timing with the pups, too!!
Roger, you sure are not getting rich in change!! Everyone must be hanging on to it.!!
Interesting articles as usual!! Sometimes I feel the powers that be, are willing us into one of those sci-fi horror futures...Do you ever get that feeling...(only half kidding!!)
Did not get a darn thing done today either..Probably not good!!
Hope everyone gets a last day of rest before the week begins!!! Take care!! ...Jan1 -
More humor is about to be posted
Hi
I'm back home from walking and once again nothing found. The Temperature out the door was 45 degrees. The rain in the forecast for Saturday afternoon into the early hours of Sunday arrived on schedule and appears to have left on time to as things were wet but drying out. When I headed out the door there was a breeze so I felt some wind chill, then within a half hour that died away so it was comfortable despite being dressed a bit lightly. I did get the Laundry washed, dried and folded yesterday.
We count on or more likely depend on leftovers from Thanksgiving and Christmas for our New Years Day Meal.
So far we have Vacuum sealed and frozen Turkey, Gravy, Homemade Cranberry Sauce, and Stuffing. Maybe 1/2 of the second Pumpkin Pie too.

The way I look at it if You sleep later that means You needed it.
Great a extra week before the 6 puppies, I'm sure that will be helpful.
Those look like You were in farm country from the Silos.
Have a Good Day
