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

I survived another work day! Tomorrow i meet with a exec vp. Then I’m a witness to another ethics investigation. That one is a political hot bed (company politics not US). I’m so tired. Yes, early bedtime again. Roger-delighted that you’re having success with your eating schedule and choices.

Hi
I'm back from walking again and No cents. The temperature this morning was 30 on the porch and 32 on the cable news channel, Warmer than yesterday. The sky was overcast and there is precipitation in the forecast, the weather forecasts seem to be unable to decide if it will be snow, rain or a mix.

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

The Exec VP meeting was great. The ethics thing makes me sick. The Dennys and Waffle House stories really demonstrate how reactive people are...not triaging the importance of BBQ sauce. Sigh. I’m really tired...the ethics thing got under my skin.

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.

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

Hang in there, Better Days are Coming.

Hi Jan

Buttons61

Hi !

I did not realize I had read the posts and hadn't written till this morning! 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. 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...

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

hope4change_val

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

RogerToo

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

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

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

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
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!
