Most Holidays tend to be overeating holidays.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!! ...Jan
I overate Thursday and Friday sadly.
Not getting rich is a understatement
I did get back to 100% for my diet Saturday. Today I am still craving Chinese Wish me luck. These days I tell them hold the rice and steer clear of dishes with noodles or breaded foods, Those would be the Chicken Wings and Things like Sweet and Sour Chicken or pork. Thick breading and a sugary Sauce.
The news is so sanitized on the news broadcast and many websites the Agenda is obvious to me.
Have a Nice Day

I don’t want to go to work tomorrow. Too much to do. Those sunrise pictures were in central Illinois...so, yes, farm country.1

Hi!!
There must be dread all over!! People going back to work. It seemed a short holiday.
I am having a little trouble myself staying under my protein allowance. Those few carbs and even my allowed carbs made me hungry. Today I finally did better,,but was still a little hungry. I am not usually like that on keto. I need to go for my blood work, so I hope Thanksgiving did not throw me out of ketosis.. I guess I will go Monday or Tuesday. I wish I had one more week, lol.
Very interesting stories about the Fla, tunnels, Sodom, and mapping the brain. Their news is much more interesting than ours, have you noticed? Long day at church, but nice. We had a special Thanksgiving service with lots of singing...
Chinese food...I miss my fried stuff, but so far have made good choices...pretty good since it is a buffet. I may end up there Tuesday. And supposed to go for lunch Weds. and Thursday..Not good for my diet for sure..
Hope everyone survives Monday!! After a holiday it is rough to get back to normal..even retired. People need to take more holidays!!

Hi
I'm back home from walking and once again nothing found. The Temperature out the door was 42 degrees. There is rain in the forecast for late this morning or early afternoon into the evening hours.
It is a gloomy looking day outside right now. When I started walking I could see the moon through light clouds, as I was walking the moon became more and more obscured. I looked at a brook and with the rains so far it is up to the top of its banks and with more rain in the forecast I expect it will be running higher. There are flood warnings and flood watches for all on NJ in the forecast.

I do not blame You, I never wanted to go to work after being on vacation.
I remember when I was a youngster riding along country roads in Illinois and Iowa and the barns as well as Silos off to the side. Another thing that sticks in my minds are the Burma Shave signs along the roads.

There were days I dreaded going back to work TBH.
I had cravings Sunday, I need to stay 100% on my NS plan until Christmas and then 100% between ahead of New Years. Good Luck with the Ketosis.
I have noticed that the overseas news seems to have better coverage of news here in America. The majority of the news from here seems to be based to fit a agenda sadly.
Fried foods seem to be addictive. At a Chinese buffet try and stay with unbreaded proteins and vegetables, Not a easy task either. Enjoy and good luck.
The hardest day after a holiday feast is the next day IMO.
Have a Nice Day

Morning!!
I was hungry all day today..not too sure why. I go to get my blood work done Tuesday..because i rolled over and went back to sleep on Monday. lol...
I accomplished a few things today..but not much!
I did watch Fantastic Creatures which I meant to see when it came out, and totally never did. It was really good, and hopefully I will go see the sequel at the big screen this week. We do not go often, but the sequel will be great on the large screen. We may make a week of it and see the Grinch movie that is out for Christmas. The previews were so funny, I can't wait to see the movie. It has been a long time since we went to a movie...and even longer before that. Too expensive and few good movies.Taking jerky is not the same as eating popcorn. Maybe I will take pork rinds
I am craving about every carb imaginable. I am assuming it stems from the torte I ate at Thanksgiving. The sugar must still be in my system..I guess. Of course I am not sure I regretted eating it!! I miss my fried things at the Chinese place. Especially eggrolls and wontons. The South does not have the best Chinese, or we don't, I should say since it gave way to all buffets like 20 years ago.
I did not meet with my friend after all, so I saved money and calories. That just leaves Weds. and Thursday to deal with. We have talked extensively though. My friend's little dog died a few days ago.
She had been doing better, but I think her heart just gave out. Since my friend is a very good nurse, she tends to really nurse her dogs to the end. I probably would not quite go to the lengths she does. Her little one she just lost I probably would have done what she did, but she lost another just a few months ago. She has bought O2 tents for him and he spent a lot of time in cardiac intensive care which gave him a few extra months. I probably would not do that. I have learned though everyone does a little differently and it is a very hard thing to lose them..so no judgement there. Neither suffered and was given good care. A shame our fur babies do not live as long as we do. I suspect that would not matter..still hard.
We are in the upper 20's tonite but thank goodness the wind stopped. We barely made it to 50 degrees today but with the wind, it seemed much colder. Could be because I was wearing flip flops with my sweats when outside.
Take care all!! ...Jan1 -

Hi
I'm back home from walking and once again nothing found. The Temperature out the door was 42 degrees. The rain in the forecast for yesterday afternoon into the evening hours arrived and departed on schedule. I walked through a park and the brook was running over its banks.
The fruits (Fruit) I have on hand at the moment is the homemade Cranberry Sauce, It has some Orange Juice and Sugar, It is still nicely tart and I am being careful to only eat a little bit as Desert with my main meal. I do sort of want to get out to the grocery store tomorrow for some big seedless red grapes. The downside to going there would be all the tempting ready to eat foods.
I Put the lighted Christmas Theme lights in the Picture Window, They do light up the room at night too. I still need to hang the wreath on the front door and that will be that for decorating until we put up the tree.

Hi. During my 9-day “vacation” I only took 5 1/2 hours of vacation time. I ended up working...and im completely failing two assignments because they were given to me late. Even though I told them I was unavailable on the weekend because I was driving. I guess they didn’t believe me. So now I’m the failure but i say they are the failure for ignoring my words. I told them to find someone else and they chose not to. My day yesterday got worse and worse and I ended up just turning off the computer and crying in frustration. Sigh. And, the highly visible project that ive been working on for months...that gets released 12 December...I finally saw what the programmers did...and its a mess. Very frustrating.1

Good Luck taking foods, the theaters around here do not allow You to bring foods since what they make at the snack bar is often the only money they make, Many of them turn the entire ticket cost over to the distributor to get the new releases. I night take jerky rather than pork rinds since the jerky can be eaten silently.

Thanks for the review, I never saw that one either. Was it as good as the Harry Potter Movies ? I also wonder if they will be making Harry Potter and the Cursed Child into a movie ?
I suspect as well as believe that when You eat something like the Torte the effects linger in You system for many days.I am craving about every carb imaginable. I am assuming it stems from the torte I ate at Thanksgiving. The sugar must still be in my system..I guess. Of course I am not sure I regretted eating it!!

Yum, Crispy Fried Eggrolls or Wontons Fried or in liquid. Locally I can now get Beef Cheese-steak Eggrolls as well as vegetable, Shrimp or pork versions. No matter what all of the above are a high calorie handful. The Eggrolls at the Chinese Buffets are usually not crisp as they sit out until they get selected and quite possibly are baked rather than deep fried too.
The simple fact that I do not deal well with any death, excluding bugs and vermin are a big reason I do not have pets Pets die and that would bother me for a long time afterwards.
Yikes, colder than here from what You say for the overnights. I think Your choice of footwear could easily contribute to feeling cold as did the wind
Stay Warm & Dry

You can not control what bosses do, Did They set You up to fail, it sounds like it, On purpose or just stubbornness or ignorance I can not guess.
The trick is to turn the computer off when You see things trending downhill and not sticking to it until it affects You. Good Luck with that, I believe You are to conscientious to do that.
When something that You have been working on like that gets ruined I can only guess how frustrated You must feel.
Have a Good Day

Good morning,
Val, so sorry to hear of works troubles. I am sure it is beyond frustrating. I swear upper management goes to how to really be ineffective leaders as prerequisites for being bosses. the higher, the more seminars... sorry for that and I hope things improve soon.
It is 32 degrees at 8:30 pm- another cold night! I just ate a block of cheese, (not the whole block!) and remembered I was going to make hot chocolate! Oops..not enough calories now..Bummer!! Weds nite is cold too..maybe I will remember!
I should be losing again hopefully, as I weighed at my lowest in a while. I had put on a pound, but again it is off. I did not count it as with keto you can vary several pounds, sometimes a little more than other diets...I hope!!
The Grinch was really cute, some great chuckles!
Olive garden..Weds...not the best keto options!!
Hope everyone has a good day!! ...Jan 1 -

Hi
I'm back home from walking and once again nothing found. The Temperature out the door was 36 degrees. There was a brisk wind blowing that caused wind chill, It did start to drop somewhat by the time I reached my turn around point in the walk.
Yesterday we took the Dahlias we dug last week, placed them in a newspaper lined cardboard box with lightly dampened peat moss. Last year we lost some of them as that never happened Some of the Gladiolus we dug are jumbos and some of the Cormlets that bloomed this summer put on a decent size. I expect that they will all bloom in the upcoming summer after being planted.
Yesterday evening I pulled a package of sliced ham ends bought cheap at the ShopRite to be used as today's extra protein. Once I open it today I shall see if there is also chunks off of the end as well as slices, They tend to put the best part showing of course as does any store.

FWIW I did see this information.
https://www.womenshealthmag.com/weight-loss/a24126215/olive-garden-keto-diet/
7 Olive Garden Meals You Can Eat Even If You're Keto
Lemon garlic butter sauce is your new BFF.
1. Stuffed Mushrooms
2. Zuppa Toscana
3. Famous House Salad with Signature Italian Dressing
4. Chicken Margherita
This dish is basically a keto dieter's dream: chicken topped with cheese and butter. The meal is also served with a size of parmesan-crusted zucchini, which only has five grams of carbs (don't worry—it's already counted in the carb content below). Also: The lunch portion only has two fewer grams of carbs than the dinner option, so I think you know what to do with that information...
5. Salmon Piccata
6. Chicken Piccata
7. Amaretto Tiramisu
Okay, this might be pushing it for some extremely dedicated keto dieters, but if you've got a few extra carbs in your allowance and want something sweet, this Amaretto Tiramisu dessert only has 14 grams of carbs—perfect for a nightcap with a hot cup of (black) coffee. It's also got a good amount of fat for a "mini" dessert.
Per serving: 220 calories, 17 g fat (10 g sat fat), 65 mg sodium, 14 g carbohydrates, 11 g sugar, 0 g fiber, 3 g protein.
Hope this helps, there is more information that I chopped out on that page.
I wonder if You can find a Low Sugar low Carb Hot Chocolate Mix, Before they discontinued them I used to make the NS Chocolate Protein Shake and heat it in the Microwave where it made a tasty Hot Chocolate IMO.
Not great weather here either, when I can hear the wind howling around the house
The Problem with cheese for me is limiting how much I eat, Color me sad that I do better if I avoid it.
I was not aware that Keto caused weight changes like that.
Have a Good Day
Roger
Hi Val2 -
Good morning!!
The article for Olive Garden was very helpful! I actually had the chicken piccata today and zucchini. A little high for carbs but yummy. The salad will put me over, but they are still good carbs, so okay. The dressing has some sugar. I can tell because I wanted to stop at Krispy Cream on the way home!!! LOL!! (didn't!)..20 mg can be hard to stay below..that is a real low carb diet..
I love cheese too! You can have it on keto, as long as you are practically carb free..I hope my blood work supports a positive change with this diet!
Spying from the toilet makes me uncomfortable!!
... Luckily the guy who is criticizing Tolkien is not in my reach. I would be calling him an idiot..
Glad you were able to get some of your bulbs! I am hoping my ferns come back next spring!!
We were colder this am than Fairbanks! It was 19 degrees with the wind chill!
Trying to get ready for Christmas..Just do not want to do much after being out!!
Glad I am not in the midwest!! Take care!! ..Jan 1 -

I had wondered if You would see the Olive Garden article before going as well as helpful. Sugars have that sort effect on me too. Sometimes unstoppable cravings. I find cheeses to be so tasty that I tend to overeat them. I even like Cream Cheese on its own
The Toilet item was also a bit of a Pun (??) Albeit disturbing.
The idiots seem to be running wild. How can You be Racist when dealing with fictional beings, As the saying goes, "What a Maroon".
I would expect that the ferns will be fine, otherwise ferns would not be around all over the country.
I need to wrap and package the Christmas gifts for my sister since the last and slow arriving item arrived via USPS yesterday, I want to look and see if they will fit in a USPS flat rate box, wish me luck.
I agree that time is flying away, it is less than a month to Christmas And I only have part of the Gifts for my brother and need to get an idea of what else to get. I will be looking through a mail order catalog or two for inspiration.
Wish me luck getting finished with Christmas things.

Hi Val2 -
Hi. I’ll be distracted and stressed through (and after) this system gets released (12/14). If I gave an assignment to an employee with 11 months to complete, and each week I requested progress updates... I can’t see how that person could pretend to not know about it. That’s what someone did to my boss’ boss. It was due 11/30, so 11/14 he reassigned it to ME. And I had a 9-day vacation schedule and on the calendar since August (4 months), and had that in red on my email signature line for a full month. It looks malicious but I actually think it is incompetence. I would want to say it was an oversight on his part but this is consistent with every situation.1

If I gave an assignment to an employee with 11 months to complete, and each week I requested progress updates... I can’t see how that person could pretend to not know about it. That’s what someone did to my boss’ boss. It was due 11/30, so 11/14 he reassigned it to ME. And I had a 9-day vacation schedule and on the calendar since August (4 months), and had that in red on my email signature line for a full month. It looks malicious but I actually think it is incompetence. I would want to say it was an oversight on his part but this is consistent with every situation.
It appears that the location where you work is under incompetent leadership
Not a good scenario.
It is a shame You can not move on from there. I suppose there is no chance You could or would want to become a boss there ?
Good Luck, Maybe December will be better

Hi JanHello!!
I can not believe I have stayed up so late, lol!! I am doomed for Friday with my schedule!!
Saw Fantastic Animals sequel--it was so good!! Well worth the price. I can not wait for more!!
Did good at Applebee's so all in all a good day!
Roger, I have not even thought about Christmas! Good for you getting a jump on it!!
Not to sure that Siberian animal was the inspiration for unicorns, lol...
Val! Just keep doing your professional job! Hope things ease up soon!!
Take care all!!..Jan
If You had not said still up I would have guessed You were up early
Since I have not seen the first one I shall take Your word for it. I have not been to a movie theater in many, many years. I got over going to them due to several factors as listed below.
1. Price of admission and that was the so called Bargain matinees.
2. Sticky floors
3. High prices for anything from the concession stand
4. Rude people that tell friends what is coming up spoiling the experience by revealing the plot and talking.
5. Phones ringing and being answered
6. The Last straw was getting chewing gum on my pants and before I knew it had happened on my car seat due to cretinous morons sticking it under the edge of the seat.
Hopefully the experience where You are is better.
It could have been, more likely as You say not the inspiration however.
Congratulations on the Applebee's visit and this too

Good morning!!
I lucked out, the ticket was five dollars. Of course I paid four dollars for a bottle of water. I do always get one, to get my water in and so I do not eat popcorn! Luckily, the theater we go to is clean and really smells good. It has been bad in times past, but so far so good. I took some bites of summer sausage to munch. I wanted peanuts, but had no carbs left due to my veggies and salad at lunch. lol.
I did lose my 1 pound which puts me lower than I have been in almost a year. Losing on keto is incredibly slow..but I have found it to be the most sustainable program for me so far. Hope my labs bear this out.
I have a Dr appt today at 2 pm, then my grand daughter's recital at 7 pm in Montgomery. I am picking my daughter up at 6pm, but she will drive down thankfully as it is dark by then. My weekend will be too busy. Hoping to live till Monday!
Eating out is difficult. Food is just too tempting and most things do contain those delicious carbs! Good luck!! Will power!!
Val, hoping things get better for you!! When do the puppies come?
Perseverance!! Have a great week end!! ...Jan ..PS Good articles!!1 -
I’m in control of if I choose to stsy or leave, so don’t feel to badly for me! It’s my own fault for tolerating it. I don’t want to be the boss. I have low tolerance for excuses, etc. I love being a doer, because then I have control of success. Ive worked every night till 10 to midnight. Last night I was supposed to take Em to a school event...i fell asleep at 6 pm and she let me sleep. I hate that she paid the price. Puppies get fixed tomorrow (Sat). I offered to take 3, but my dog partner said i need to sleep...she knows I’m really running on empty. So not planning to bring them home, but helping transport after 11 dogs getting fixed!1

I shall be posting more humor shortly
Hi
I'm back home from walking and for once 1 beat up penny was found. The Temperature out the door was 30 degrees. Yesterday was a dingy looking day that had some rain after noon, it started spritzing on the return home from our brunch with a friend. For Friday we did good to get past the low 40s, Today, Saturday is forecast to be in the 50s with rain forecast for later and predicted to continue into Sunday a high of 60 Degrees.
I am in the process of finalizing a Christmas gift package to be shipped to my sister. I am packing a Flat Rate USPS box. Since the price is the same no matter what the weight I am thinking of putting in some surplus NS snacks so they do not expire. A note explaining that they are just there as filler naturally.

I wonder if they changed owners or managers. I thought Peanuts were a fairly low carb food ?
Re: Eating Out, Overeating is so easy to do when eating away from home. I am sure I would not be happy if I got on the scale today after yesterdays Brunch with my brother and a friend.
I hope the doctor appointment was routine.
Enjoy the Grand Daughters Recital.
Thanks for the articles feedback.
I did see this, Congratulations

I know from past experience that being a boss is not easy, When I was a boss for a while I learned quickly how to tell if one of the employees was trying to beat me as far as ding something.
It was thoughtful of Your daughter to let You sleep, She must have decided You needed the sleep more than she needed to go to the event.
Dog partner ?
I hope this weekend is easy

Good morning!!
I think we have gotten 5+inches of rain overnite. I have water pooling all over my yard. We probably needed it. It is damp and grey, but still in the upper 50's to 60. I do have to get out to do shopping for the guest lunch.
Val, that really was sweet of your daughter!! I am sure you needed that rest. Probably a good break from the puppies too. That was thoughtful of your rescue group!
The recital was so much fun! They did the Nutcracker and My grand daughter was a China doll. She got to come out twice, and also did a finale with another girl of cartwheels and splits at the end. The whole production was very good.
I still need to decide what to take for guest lunch. And shop..I am so not in the mood!
All the articles were interesting. I hope that tax bill does not pass. People are not very informed and so many do not vote. Love those squirrels! My friend has those at her place. They are so much bigger than grey squirrels, but not quite at 2 feet!! I hate when abusers like that are given a slap on the wrist instead of a harsher sentence. They basically did nothing. If I was that elephant, I might have stomped that man, too.. People..
I kind of worry about our military capability. Too many short cuts taken and often lazy people compared to other generations. Most of our planes are in need of repairs and some of the newer designs being built seem somewhat less reliable than in times past...Basically, A mess....
Thanks for noticing my meager little pound...keto is slow, lol....
Stay dry!! ....Jan1 -
Humor has been posted, I hope You enjoy them
Hi
I'm back home from walking and not even one penny was found. The Temperature out the door was 47 degrees. The rain arrived on schedule per yesterdays weather forecast and is still falling currently. The forecast high for today is 60 degrees then starting Monday the temperatures drop for the rest of the week with a period of dry weather for most of the week.
I finally got around to putting the wireless Keyboard and Mouse I bought a while ago on this computer. I'm not saying it may have been sitting on the shelf in the basement a long time but the enclosed batteries from Logitech were leaking and corroded. I am much happier with no mouse wire and the switch freed up a USB port so that I do not need to order a new USB hub to replace the one that died recently. Not to mention that the left shift key which is the one I use has been getting flaky .

As long as the rain is only pooling in Your yard and not running into Your house
I know You You were so proud of Your Grand Daughter.

Here in NJ we have something similar with the last gas tax they passed. It has automatic increase ability based on how much revenue it generates and so far it has not reached the goal hence a automatic increase is happening and of course as the price per gallon goes up the demand drops and another tax increase will happen
NJ
The problem with the military as I see it is the spending cuts from prior administrations.
The more complex the more maintenance will be needed.
Hey, One pound is a good loss IMO.
Have a Good Day
