Hello Valhope4change_val wrote: »Yes, the pups had never been touched by human until we got them. We believe they are 6 weeks old, but haven’t been to the vet yet. My last batch of pups were feral as well. Their primary feelings towards humans was fear. They’d scream and run away and hide. It’s extra work when there’s been no socialization. With the last batch, four times a day, I would pick up each pup and cuddle and touch it all over the body and talk to it plus treats. Maggie has these pups and has requested multiple volunteers to take shifts to cuddle them. I really hope people sign up and show up.
I had suspected that was what You meant. 6 weeks old, those poor puppies feeling fear like that.
Good Luck, I hope others share the load too

Hi Jangood morning!!
How fun to cuddle pups!! Even if they must get used to it!!
Great picture, Val!!
Church was great, just a long day. Lots of food, and I am afraid I did not do well. This was the first time I really just blew it and overate. I will get back but I know I did a lot of damage, lol...lunch was fine and I picked wisely. But we had so much food that I had 1/2 of my dessert left. It makes up a large amount and guess who took it home and ate the rest of it for supper!!
I went from like 20 carbs to 300 carbs..I am remorseful but enjoyed every single moment..one of my favorites with a combo of raspberry jello, pineapple, and blackberry bottom with a sour cream and cream cheese and sugar topping...ooops!!! 
Pretty sure I am out of ketosis for a couple weeks...
Waiting for our annual snow dusting where everything stops. I usually get just the tip of it. 60 degrees Monday and snow Tuesday!! Refreeze Tuesday nite...
Need to work on those taxes...And boy do I hate to pay everyone...
Not sleepy..must be that nap I took after church around 3 pm..exhausted!! But good sleeping!!
Take care all!!
You might be surprised how quickly You get back into Ketosis. Sometimes the cravings get to You, Ask me how I know.
Arctic Blast with single digit overnight lows and Wind chills down to -20 in the forecast with snow later tomorrow starting as rain and then as the Arctic air moves in turning to a mix and then snow. I will be checking the traction Wednesday before deciding to walk or not.
Pay, pay, pay is a fact of life.
Have a Good Week

Good morning!!
Ready to inspire myself and get back to keto!! I really am about the same weight wise and plan a day with some satisfying fats to get me on board. I should get a few canned meats besides tuna which while not a meat, is on my shelf. But I really do not feel like getting out. I think I may just cook up a bit from the freezer in case I lose power, and I can eat what I have cooked. I think our dusting will be more just an inconvenience, hopefully!
Unbelievable deep freeze temps the last few days. One of our rescue transports for dogs made the trip thru Chicago to a neighboring city and it was like 25 below and warmed to a -9 degrees. Was she glad to be back in Bama!! Took 40 dogs there as adoption chances are like 200% better in the north than here..
All your stories were extremely good!! It was nice to see that airline treat there customers so well..wasn't it! Glad I was not on that flight however!! Taking that man's house was surreal..we are unaware sometimes of how many situations are like that- people taking advantage of others for profit..I'm sure there is a little more to it...The Steve Jobs article was really good..That is how I use my smart phone..limited screen time. I try to tell that to my friends...but most of them carry theirs with them like it was attached thru an umbilical cord!!
Loved the keto recipes..I will have to try them. I love the guy that did the cinnamon roll battle.. I need to look him up!! On my smart phone, lol....
Be super careful with the weather coming in!! ...Jan1 -
Hi all. Tomorrow I get my cardiology results. I can feel the 11 ponds lost, and I’m glad if that. But I’m impatient...i just want to unzip this fat suit and step out if it. Yes, I know that’s not how life is.
I was extremely displeased by Air New Zealand. Extremely racist flight attendants. It was horrific and we were trapped over a huge ocean with no way out. 40 years ago, I enjoyed their flights. In 2014, problems both directions (MUCH worse coming back).
Stay safe and warm with the cold blast!1 -

Hi
I'm back home from walking and once again no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 27 degrees. The weather forecast as of this morning is that rain will start this afternoon turning to Snow with the arctic Blast moving in overnight. The overnight Lows for Wednesday & Thursday are forecast to be in the single digits with bitter wind chills down to -20 in some parts of NJ

If, And I say If I had gotten on the scale this morning I am sure my weight would be up after having Chinese take out. That would be Moo Shu Beef, I remembered to have them hold the 4 Pancakes that come with it, Since the menu had no mention of it I forgot to tell them to hold the White Rice. If I had held those carbs the Moo Shu Beef would have been close to OK since it is shredded cabbage, fried eggs, mushrooms and bamboo shoots in a sauce. The Rice was there so I ate it being weak when it comes to temptations

I have cans of White meat chicken in the cupboard that are Five 5 Ounce from the Grocery Store and 3 that are 12.5 ounce from CostCo. They work as Chicken heated in the Microwave with a touch of Sweet Daddy Rays BBQ sauce and as Chicken Salad in a sandwich.
I am not sure our furnace could keep up with 25 degrees below zero. It runs a lot of the time when the temps get down to the single digits. I hope the Rescue Transports had really good heat. The one thing not to do is let Peta get a hold of pets. As I saw here in a link that forwarded to me.
https://www.stripersonline.com/surftalk/topic/749238-more-peta-hypocrisy/
PETA Joins Forces with Group Working to Kill All “Pit Bulls” Nationwide
Several years ago, PETA founder Ingrid Newkirk wrote an OpEd piece in newspapers across the country calling on all shelters in all American cities to kill all dogs who looked like “pit bulls.”
It is a long read BTW.
Thanks for the feedback on the articles.
I know what You mean when You say I try to tell that to my friends...but most of them carry theirs with them like it was attached thru an umbilical cord!!
I see Cellphone Zombies walking down the street all the time.
I intend to be careful with the next three days weather and I am leaning towards not walking and using the recumbent bike in the back room instead. That will mean installing batteries to activate the load while peddling.
I was hoping that some of the Keto recipes would be useful.

Eleven Pounds lost is good, I was impatient from the time I started on NS to lose all I wanted to lose so I understand how You feel.
I had not heard that regarding Air New Zealand.
I plan to stay warm and safe, especially the Safe part.

Good morning!!
Well, we just got some rain. I would have liked a dusting of snow, but I am taking a snow day anyway!! The dividing line hit a little north of us, more than usual. I would rather be safe than sorry..especially with kids lives!
Val, your loss is wonderful!! I feel that way too, trying to change those numbers to the next 10 lbs. It will happen though!! keep up the great loss!! Sorry you experienced such a bad flight from that airline..Sounds like my praise for them was a little premature!
Horrible story about PETA though no surprise. Even when their demands are reasonable I do not support them. I just will never trust them. Supposedly they are modifying their view but uninformed stands like that one lead me to believe otherwise. Many dogs here are labeled pits that are not. Our vets are very careful to list another breed on certificates as often as they can because of those kind of mistakes to save the dogs further harassment.
My heater runs a lot at temps now in the 20's..I would hate anything below that...not to mention the bill!!
Chinese food is very tempting out! I have that problem too. Thai food and Indian food is almost impossible to eat out on keto. You have to make your own. I very much miss eating there and supporting those businesses as they are run by some pretty nice folks!
Glad you are taking precautions to substitute walking in the weather. Maybe your snow and cold will be less than predicted too.
Take care!! ...Jan1 -
My cardiologist said “You have a good heart!” I said, “Thanks, I know. I do a lot of volunteer work...” then he said, “well, your physical heart is in great shape...no issues.” Made him laugh. I didn’t really expect any issues, but I’ve been double normal weight for more thsn 35 years (except 2015 NS). And my dad died at 44 years old from a heart attack. So, it is nice to know.
Roger - hoping all the best for you with that cold front. That’s serious cold!
Jan - I haven’t eaten out since starting keto. I like the control that comes from cooking things myself and weighing my portions. I keep almonds and protein drinks in the car in case I’m stuck out longer than planned. That’s happened twice and i was so grateful to have them there.1 -

Hi
I'm back home from walking and once again no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 21 degrees with a wind chill in a nearby city of 8. The rain Yesterday started and stopped on schedule and never turned o snow here, Other areas of NJ had 5 inches of snow. When I looked outside this morning it looked OK, so I went walking.
Where I am we did dodge a bullet with the rain ending before it turned to snow. I will not be walking tomorrow considering that the wind chill today of 8 degrees was bad enough and that tomorrow will much colder. There is a chance of a brief snow this afternoon.
Mini Review. I liked the new NS Four Cheese Manicotti , 250 Calories 35g Carbohydrates. It was tasty, however it tasted a lot like the old Whole Wheat Ricotta Crepes. I will be ordering more of these in the future.

I was not surprised, Peta seems to have a large amount of nuts in their organization. They wanted the Town of Fishkill to change its name, more here
http://edition.cnn.com/US/9609/06/fishy.name/
A fishy name will stay the same
FISHKILL, New York (CNN) -- Welcome to the small, upstate New York town of Fishkill, or should it be called Fishsave?
All was quiet in Fishkill until an animal rights group, PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, took issue with the town's centuries-old name.
PETA wants the town to change its name, claiming it suggests cruelty to, well, fish.
As I said Nuts inside of Peta.
I find that if I eat Chinese Food it causes cravings for more the next day
I love Some of the Thai Food, I do know what You mean since the ones I like are either wide noodle based or thin noodle based.
The changeover to snow did not happen in town, other parts of the state had snow starting in the morning and up to 5 inches deep, I got lucky
Have a Good Day

My brother and I tend to make the cashiers at the Grocery store laugh with our banter at the checkout, We consider that a win. I feel that a good sense of humor is a Gift, Lucky You to have one also.
So far so good heart health here too despite having been somewhat to a lot heavy for most of my life to. Congratulations on the clean bill of health heartwise.
Some of the NS Bars would work well in the glove box in the car, that is what we do here. There is always water in the car to wash them down with. The water in the car will be hard water this week with the bitter cold OTOH so a fresh bottle of spring water needs to be taken from the house.
Have a Nice Day

Hi
I did not go walking due to the reported windchill and thus once again no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 3 degrees with a wind chill in in the -15 area. Depending on tonight's forecast I will or will not go walking tomorrow.
Before I forget a little before 3PM Wednesday we had a Brief but heavy visibility reducing Snow Squall come through, By 3:15 it was out of here.
As I sit here and try to keep warm, this room is down to 65 degrees being a corner room with original windows and the Kitchen which usually runs colder is 69 degrees. The kitchen only has one short wall on the outside of the house which is likely why. Yesterday I drove around a while since the car had not been used in over a week and picked up the largest McDonalds Coffee which is only a $1 and here I am when not typing with my hand wrapped around it to warm my fingers

Enjoy the latest Keto recipe I posted. That One is really interesting to me as I like those, just not the carbs even the carbs in the NS version as higher.
I have heard bad things about the Peta so called Animal Shelters for years, As I see it You need to be gullible to support them which likely explains all the Hollywood types. Your attitude to them is not all that strange to me.

BTW, Here is a tongue in cheek faux news article
BY JOHNNY MO | JANUARY 27, 2018
CHICAGO — Climatologists are blaming record-low temperatures for the steep decline in Year-Round Shorts-Guy populations, resulting in a massive shortage of exposed, hairy, mid-winter calves, according to a new study released today.
“An increasing number of well-calved men are buying full-length pants for the first time since high school. This is incredibly dangerous, as their own family members may not recognize them and reject them,” said study author Janet Baker, as she adjusted the leggings she regularly wears to work, dinner, and bed. “This particular strain of men are known to typically ‘run hot.’ Their decline could single-handedly end the entire cargo short industry.”
“Guys who only own shorts are fully clothing themselves because of unprecedented, rapid shifts in temperature. Most of these guys have already known for years that their favorite college bands were lackluster,” said Gutierrez. We could be facing an extinction-level event, where these men are forced to become ‘socks-with-sandals’ guys.”
Scrambling to save the critically endangered men, a handful of privately funded chimera research labs are racing to hybridize Year-Round Shorts-Guys with Jeans-at-the-Gym-Guys.
“It is our last chance to save this species of American man.

Hernia requires surgery. Just found out my A1C is in pre-diabetic range. Blood pressure really high. Work is NOT quite today. All my maternal relatives had diabetes. Ashamed of myself to nst manage my weight earlier to fend that off. Feeling sad and frustrated,
Roger—I know you will, but please take care in those crazy freezing temperatures.
Jan—i guess you can pick your desired weather and head that direction!1 -
Good morning,
This seems like the longest day of the longest month. Finally payday. January was reeeally long!
Val, so sorry to hear about you needing surgery! Sometimes it is necessary, and maybe you will be better for it in the long run. I would guess your B/P spikes are due to your job, and that you are just a caring person where things affect you.I hate that. I know you can control your diabetes, I have that too, and have not had to use injectable insulin, just pills, for which I am thankful. I know you can get your health back!!
Roger, the whole top of the country seems in pretty bad shape. I guess you are still lucky where you are, to be in a little pocket that escapes some of the weather!! Take care!
Cracked up about the short pants and hairy legs..they wear them year round most of the time down here! Flip flops too, most of the year..lol, I do too!! Just not this week!!

Hi
I'm back home from walking and once again no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 11 degrees. It was cold outside, however I decided that with no wind chill I could handle it thus I did walk today.
I do have Carhart brand Thermals that go from waist to ankles. I also have different thickness shirts and so on that I wear under the hoodie depending on the temperature. Toss in the Heated Mittens and if needed the Lightweight rain gear that can be used as a head to toe windbreaker set and so far so good. The only part that gets really cold is the face and I leave it uncovered so I can drink my coffee while walking
Mini Review. I liked the new NS Chicken Paella, 220 calories and Total Carbohydrate 29g. I liked the taste and the fact that it was not too spicy, not Loaded with Peppers or hot.

Roger—I know you will, but please take care in those crazy freezing temperatures.
Jan—i guess you can pick your desired weather and head that direction!
Ouch, surgery, Did they give You a timeline for that and how long a recovery period. I suppose You need to coordinate that with the Surgeon and work ? Good Luck.
Be careful with the A1C, I was in the Pre Diabetic range for years and even that had an effect. So far so good however I now try and avoid to many carbs. Most Take out is high Carb and Take out is my weakness, I love Pizza for example. A couple of slices or Sausage, Meatball, Pepperoni or other toppings are so tempting. Luckily I can grab one of the Tasty NS Pizzas
Dad and his brothers all had Diabetes and that should have tipped me off to be careful and I ignored that warning.
If I had known then what I know now, oh well water over the dam.
I'm sorry to hear about work, I am sure that the stress is not helping.
I do take care in the cold weather, You can see how in the post ahead of this one.
Take Care of Yourself, No one else will.

Hi JanGood morning,
This seems like the longest day of the longest month. Finally payday. January was reeeally long!
Val, so sorry to hear about you needing surgery! Sometimes it is necessary, and maybe you will be better for it in the long run. I would guess your B/P spikes are due to your job, and that you are just a caring person where things affect you.I hate that. I know you can control your diabetes, I have that too, and have not had to use injectable insulin, just pills, for which I am thankful. I know you can get your health back!!
Roger, the whole top of the country seems in pretty bad shape. I guess you are still lucky where you are, to be in a little pocket that escapes some of the weather!! Take care!
Cracked up about the short pants and hairy legs..they wear them year round most of the time down here! Flip flops too, most of the year..lol, I do too!! Just not this week!!
Take care all!! Jan
Happy Payday, I do not expect my pension check to arrive before Saturday, They Mail it on the first and it comes on the second. Not to much I can do with it Saturday afternoon since I do not have nor would I use a Debit card and ATM.
I am afraid that when I get to the doctor and he does a blood test he will want to prescribe pills or injections. I've been a bad boy with my eating with cheat days for a while
I thought that might tickle Your fancy
Flip Flops are something I never do like to use nor do I like the noise they make. I suppose they have a limited place like a Public Shower, Gym or Health Club ?
It could have been worse, when the daytime high is below zero as was the case in some areas how do You do anything that requires leaving the house ?
Stay Warm and Safe

Good morning,
I feel like that too about the keto, Val, lol..I had keto chocolate chip cookies for lunch after my tuna...
Hey, down here Roger I have worn flip flops to church! Just not for the Sunday service, lol...
Nice day in the 60's with sunshine...you never know!
Awfully young kids to be getting in that kind of trouble like Columbine..very scary.
I have a funeral to attend on Saturday. the mom of one of the ladies that I go to early breakfast at Panera. One of those sweet southern women for whom they broke the mold..
We ALL need to cut out our little cheating it seems!! Me. too, Roger...
Good job Val!!! ...Jan1 -

It's -7 degrees in Hell, Michigan, right now, with a wind chill of -28. You know what that means people...

I have decided that I will start using butter and salt to taste. As an example yesterday I made a Egg Salad Sandwich, One Large Egg, Mayo and no sugar added Sweet relish and the 40 calorie a slice of Italian Bread that I put some butter on. Plenty of hard boiled eggs right now since my brother hard boiled a carton of 18 eggs
Good going finding something that works for You, Not to mention Keto should be good for Your Blood Sugar levels.
I think this morning breakfast will be the NS breakfast omelet with a 1/2 slice of Velveeta that adds a good taste between two slices of the bread and I will likley throw away the crust.
I do not know why but MFP double posted this one
Congratulations
Roger
