    Hi all!

    Phew I am tired! I did stay with my broiled seafood choices, and had a sweet potato, plain. I feel overstuffed but was in my calories. I cleaned house some and walked a lot. I had 10,065 steps for today. The concert was really good! They (Restless Heart) are still an awesome band, and have been playing together for 33 years with only a slight hiatus. My favorite song still is "Bluest Eyes in Texas!" They did a shout out of appreciation for Glenn Campbell, and a few songs by some country artists they had sung with. Also a drum solo on par with Gene Krupa! I think I spelled that wrong. We did get them back for one song- standing ovation and screaming, lol! I know they were exhausted, they are in their 50's and 60's and they moved and played like they were 30. They still have it!! :)

    Of course many of us in the audience looked a little older, heavier and worse for wear! :D

    Roger, glad you bundled up! I can't believe about the snow plow! I bet you are right on the future prediction of roads and sidewalks! We are 33 tonite for one nite. It is clear and chilly! You are going to have to house walk, minus the time for shoveling! Careful!!!

    Val, keep up the good work! You are motivating me! And I enjoy seeing you post on the home page!

    I am fix'n to read the humor page! ..Stay strong all!! ..Jan

    Hi Jan
    I saw three things You posted, 21 hours ago lost 2 lbs since her last weigh-in! Buttons61's lost 16 lbs so far.
    and
    8 hours ago burned 167 calories doing 30 minutes of Walking, 2.5 mph, leisurely pace
    Me too, I do not run these days :)
    Also
    8 hours ago completed her food and exercise diary for 2/09/2017 and was under her calorie goal

    I'm glad You had such a great time at the concert.

    I was over 14K steps Wednesday and ended up well over 10K yesterday. I may or may not do any house walking as that is boring to me, I do not know how my brother does it every day.

    Who knows I may even get out and try to clear off the car. Or I may just wait until my Brother goes somewhere. Where the car is it is a chore to clear it off.

    Congratulations on You Home page items

    Good morning!

    I never have a burst of energy at 7 am! :)
    If you don't clean off the car, you can make a face on it!!! :#

    Your steps are awesome! I can see with the distance you go, it would be boring inside to walk. It will be interesting to see how your roads outside fared. Is the snow staying around for a while?

    Your humorous page cracked me up! Loved the cow especially!

    I just realized I leave for New Orleans in about 3 weeks. I HOPE I can lose down to where I want before going. And be discipline there, lol! I do think there is a cafe with my name on it serving beignets.. Louisiana food is not a good dieting experience, lol! It is a carb jungle!

    I probably won't be doing much after that. Traveling is hard on the puppies especially the older one. May is young, but a whole week gone is hard on them both. Especially, as to make the bus Monday morning, I have to drop them off the Sat. before noon. I probably will not get back in time to get them on Friday, so I will get them on Sat morning. Turns a 5 day trip into 8. :'( I did reserve Chester his own 2 window suit. I am hoping it will help as he sleeps when I am gone at the house. May will have to make due with an indoor- outdoor run. I do want to get to the beach and see the ocean this summer. I have not been in several years. But that can be an overnite and not so bad. I hope, lol!

    Take care! Good time to read. :) .. Jan B) Warming up!

    Hi Jan, glad you enjoyed the concert. Loved your comment about the audience aging. My last concert was the BeeGees in 1995...and i had that same thought about the audience. How exciting for your NO trip. I love how you care for your dogs...and consider how thing affect them too. Kerp your eyes on your goals. You know every pound you lose before you go will make all the walking you do there easier. ~Val

    I'm feeling puny, like this cold is actually turning into a sinus infection. I already have a doctor appointment Wednesday and my body should decide by then. I bought five 40# bags of dirt today and it took every but of energy for me to carry them 100 feet to the backyard. I actually had to sit down and rest after two bags. Short winded and overall exhaustion.

    Hi
    I was out walking today and did 9800 steps, The temperature is 37 degrees and that is a fair amount warmer than yesterday. There was a coating of ice under any snow that was not shoveled.

    I had a off day yesterday for Dinner. We ordered in from Joe's Meat Market, They deliver cooked foods or uncooked. I ordered the Market Steak with Peter Luger Steak Sauce that came with fries and a Home Made Cheesecake, Too Much foods, I felt overstuffed :(
    My Brother had the Fish and Chips, and a Sausage Pizza. that is mostly for today's consumption.

    I finished the Green Hornet radio shows from the 40s that were loaded on my iPod today while walking and right after I switched to classic rock it announced in my ear "Low Battery" so I need to do some volume leveling and load more Green Hornet etc, and then sync and charge the iPod.

    Have a Great Saturday

    Hi Jan
    It is easier to have a burst of energy at 7AM when You were up before 6AM :)

    I did go through Louisiana one January with a stop at New Orleans on my vacation. The weather was bad here that year so I called work and they said no problem extending Your vacation :) So I was in Florida for a few days then I drove across the southern tier stopping all along the way to see the sights such touring NAS Pensacola is, touring the Battleship Alabama, New Orleans, The Alamo, and Carlsbad Caverns and more before boomeranging back to Florida for a few more days in Orlando. I do not recall the food being good or bad ? OTOH I tend to have breakfast at a southern chain that had a great Breakfast Buffet :)

    I hope the trip goes well for You and the Puppies

    Good morning!

    Good job walking with the weather the way it is! That is dedication! I have been on the computer a little too much and it is hard getting things done. Before I know it, my day slips away. I like to check my fitbit, log in here, and get my emails read. And catch the news. I really need to look at my church and rescue dog groups later, but it is hard to get out of that habit!

    I am sorry about the steak and fries and cheesecake! I know how you feel. Delicious but the carbs make you feel heavy and sluggish! If you can get back on track immediately, you will feel great by just doing so! Sometimes it is a good wake up for your body to eat differently, and resets your metabolism running again, if you only do it one day! You usually turn around pretty quickly though! :)

    Glad for the humor! That is my next stop!

    Val, keep us updated on the doctor's report after you go. I hope you will be feeling better soon. This has been a rough year for sinus problems. The short to almost no cold spells is making them do allergy reports now, when it is usually not a problem. :/

    Hope the week-end is good for all! ..Jan

    Hi Jan
    It appears from the weather forecast I saw from this morning that Sunday morning I will be out in the rain :( Oh well, still better than sleet or snow, especially better than Sleet or Freezing Rain.

    I got back on the start of a 100% NS day today. So I do feel better today as You predicted.

    Wow, Allergy reports in February, Hmm...

    Enjoy the humor

    Hi Jamie!
    Glad you are here! I have a lot to lose myself. I think I have been losing a few of the same pounds several times. But I will get there slow and steady and I know you can too! I have added more protein and have to watch my carbs. MFP has a great food tracker, and support sure seems to help! :) ..Jan

    Hi
    I was out walking today and did 8092 steps, The temperature is 33 degrees and that is colder than yesterday. It drizzled for a few minutes while I was walking and the streets were wet when I went out the door. There is a possibility of freezing rain or sleet or rain for my area, They can not seem to make up their minds :) they are showing icy conditions north of me. Luckily It stayed only wet and the traction was good and most of the sidewalks were clear from yesterdays warm temperature. There was a raw feel to the air as there was a breeze, I had the hood up on the Hoodie and Rain jacket which It did drizzle somewhat.

    I stopped at the grocery store and picked up some in the shell nuts and a couple of Black Plums for variety.

    Have a Great Sunday

    Hi Jamie
    Welcome to the post :)

    I am sure You can do it, Losing is actually easier IMO than maintaining which is a entirely different learning process.
    I am working at maintenance and so far so good. What works is if I overeat one day like I did Friday, I go back into weight loss mode until I am back where I want to be. Otherwise if I am at goal I add a extra fruit and a little extra protein. As an example when I have my cereal for breakfast I may add an extra ounce of milk and have a extra orange, Apple or Plum for the day.

    Good Luck
    Roger

    Hi Val
    There was a good reason to be depressed by those happenings, sadly. However You are recovered as I see it.
    I know I put on the weight when I went from physical work to a inside job sitting all day due to not changing my eating habits.

    Hi Jan
    I know I have lost the same pounds more than once. I hate to think how many diets I tried before hitting NS and losing the tasty easy way. Much of their frozen and not frozen is tasty. The ones I do not like it is due to the heat in them and I have a No heat in my food type of pallet.

    Hi All,

    I am so proud of myself at church! I had 3 meatballs, grapes, and a piece of cantaloupe! I passed up the most delicious looking casseroles (like 8 of them) and the most fabulous homemade pies and desserts (like 12!) and stuck to proteins and low carbs! It was a miracle.

    I was doing communion this month and when I got there we were out of grape juice. So quick emergency run for gas as I was on empty, (going to get on way home), then to a chevron that has grape juice, and it was gone.... The Chevron was there for thirty years, and apparently shut down this last week or so, lol. So hopped on the freeway 1 short exit away and stopped at Publix, making a circle back to church which is a street away from Publix. Missed morning small group, but made it to finish communion before church started, and still got to go the bathroom before the singing started! Due to the crazy morning, I hit 5,000 steps by 2 pm. Should be a good rest of the day! :smiley:

    I have an hour of quiet and then have to head to small group tonite. I have to tack on an extra 15 minutes as we are meeting at a friend's house instead of the church. Quick turn around today for this old person! Can't complain as the lady and gentleman where I am going to are like 79 and 83, and can run circles around me by all they do! Shows me I need to get in shape seriously this time!

    Thanks for the shout out for achievements, Roger, always a plus! (the gardening might have been Val,) but I definitely avoided some temptation! Twice this week! You did a good job walking, I am surprised it was not slippery! The last time you stopped for some nuts, my mental picture was of a couple crazy people at first. :# This time was more prepared, especially as you said shelled! LOL! Have a great Monday!

    Hi
    I was out walking today and hit exactly 8700 steps at my return home :) The temperature is 34 degrees and that is a whopping 1 degree warmer than yesterday. The streets were looking dry when I went out the door. We had mostly rain yesterday where I am with a few icy pellets hitting the window a couple of times. The Local news reports last night showed icy conditions ans snow north of me. Some areas picked up a few inches if the white stuff.

    I was able to work my around the few slippery spots I encountered.

    Have a Great Monday

    Hi Jan
    It would have been very tough for me to pass delicious looking Casseroles, Pies and other Desserts. Congratulations on being strong and resisting temptation.

    Congratulations on the steps and getting the Juice too. It is always a shame when something that has been there a log time goes away :(

    I had not even looked at it that way, Thank You for the humorous picture of me stopping to talk to crazy people.
    Interesting? fact, The first time I saw someone walking across a grocery store parking lot talking to empty air, I thought crazy person, beware :) Then it dawned on me, Wireless earpiece for a cell phone :)

    You are doing a good job, I noticed this post 9 hours ago, completed her food and exercise diary for 2/12/2017 and was under her calorie goal.

    Puppy-sat this past weekend. They are just adorable healthy babies. As with any babies, they needed considerable attention but it was seriously fun! Lasiks is really effecting what i can do. The worst is bending down and standing up (like picking up after the dogs, and feeding the dogs). Every change in elevation notably impacts my brain to the point of being unable to do that....which then creates other problems.

    Morning!

    Roger, thanks for the encouraging words! I am actually using less energy in fighting temptation by upping my proteins and good fats and eating vegetables than when I eat more carbs, even restricting them. This just seems to be a good choice for my body, I think because I am so carb sensitive. It is real interesting. I had a lot of fruit yesterday, and just about had a heart attack realizing what my carb level was, although I ate healthy. I gained no weight, so that was good to know! I just will plan a little better in eating my fruits and not neglect my veggies. I am having a salmon hash with eggs over it for breakfast. (no potato though!) I may incorporate a sweet potato in there for a change up later.

    I know what you mean about laughing at people talking to the air! When some of these first devices came out, an aid I worked with wore it working (like she was some rock star!) Several times she would walk to us talking to herself, which was a little frightening! Finally realized it for what it was! So did her supervisor, so in short order she was told "NO"! LOL! :D

    You are a trooper getting out to walk in those conditions! I always hated those in between days when the weather could not make up it's mind! also great job for getting right back to better eating! :)

    Val, I am sorry the med is doing you that way. I do not have those symptoms, except occasional loss of balance, but with all my meds, it is hard to know what med does it, or more likely a combination of them. That is aggravating! If you have the start of infection, I am sure that would not help. Hopefully, you will get some answers with your appointment! You may need a change of diuretic.

    On the brighter side, I am envious of all those puppies! Such a good age and so much fun! I was wondering what all your dogs thought of them! ;)

    Take care all!! Checking out the "funnies!" ..Jan B) ..a little brisk and windy!

    Hi
    I was out walking today and currently I am at 9464 steps. The temperature is 28 degrees and that is colder than yesterday. Tomorrow is Senior Discount day at the Grocery Store so the plan is to stop in while walking and buy some Bananas and see what other fruits look good.

    Today I had a Ready to drink Protein shake and as I was flattening the carton I wondered to myself am I the only one that leaves the lid loose, then flattens it and tightens the lids to keep them flat?

    Have a Great Tuesday

    Hi Jan
    You are not alone being carb sensitive, Welcome to the club :)
    It took me many years to realize I was a card carrying member of the carb sensitive club.

    I just feel that it needs doing and if I feel it will be safe to walk albeit uncomfortable I walk. There have been a few times in the winter where I thought it would be OK and then shortly realized I was wrong and boomeranged back home. Usually after having my feet slip and being lucky enough not to fall.

    Congratulations on Your continuing success as I see You posted this.

    Good morning!

    Happy Valentine's Day! ( though if you read this Weds. It is a day late!) <3

    Doing good so far! I am holding at present, but feel a little more energy and feel lighter, even is the scale does not show it yet. I did measure and lost an inch here and there. Always a good sign.

    The cat link was hilarious, especially the possum! That would give me a heart attack! I guess I will not complain about spiders anymore! Not much gets past May May however!

    Isn't it funny our DR's treat us, and yet it takes so long to recognize certain things, like being carb sensitive. I remember on a special report that it was said Dr's get very little training in nutrition and diet in the over all scheme of things, and hardly anything up to date. I am sure I have that Metabolic Syndrome, though mine has never said that. He rarely tells me my lab results, just offers encouragement if okay, or frowns if not! I sometimes forget to ask. I wish they would just send a copy of the labs home with you...

    I flatten cartons, but do not bother with lids! I wonder how many regenerated? :D

    Have a good day! Keep warm!! ..Jan B) 40's at nite! 60-70 days.... ;)

    Hi
    I was out walking today and hit 7710 steps. The temperature is 34 degrees and that is a warmer than yesterday. I stopped at the Grocery Store for Bananas while walking

    Have a Great Wednesday

    P.S. From Here Yesterday

    KFC New Zealand gave away two fried chicken bouquets for Valentine’s Day
    Forget flowers, take her to New Zealand and gift her a bouquet of fried chicken.

    In a move which has delighted chicken lovers across the globe, KFC New Zealand made a limited number of fried chicken bouquets “for a couple of special chicken lovers out there”.

    The KFC NZ page uploaded a photo two days ago, requesting lovers to “tag the wind beneath your chicken wings” for a chance to win.

    The two winners were notified in the comments of the post, with one posting to the page saying it was “being devoured...although such a shame to destroy something so beautiful.”

    Good morning!

    Happy Valentine's Day! ( though if you read this Weds. It is a day late!) <3

    Doing good so far! I am holding at present, but feel a little more energy and feel lighter, even is the scale does not show it yet. I did measure and lost an inch here and there. Always a good sign.

    The cat link was hilarious, especially the possum! That would give me a heart attack! I guess I will not complain about spiders anymore! Not much gets past May May however!

    Isn't it funny our DR's treat us, and yet it takes so long to recognize certain things, like being carb sensitive. I remember on a special report that it was said Dr's get very little training in nutrition and diet in the over all scheme of things, and hardly anything up to date. I am sure I have that Metabolic Syndrome, though mine has never said that. He rarely tells me my lab results, just offers encouragement if okay, or frowns if not! I sometimes forget to ask.

    Hi Jan
    It is indeed a day late and here I forgot to wish anyone a Happy valentines Day :(

    Losing a inch here and there is better than a weight loss as IMO that is a sign that You replaced fat with the more dense Muscle, Congrats on that.

    I make sure to get a copy of the Lab results from the doctors office before I leave and they are willing to print them out for me.

    Also Congratulations on Completing the food Diary and 195 days logging in.
    Roger
