Slower Weight loss at 50?

Hi
It was showing 45 degrees a bit warmer than yesterday. I only walked 6,039 steps on this walk as I was feeling a bit under the weather.
My mistake with the weather Station was not mentioning that It would be obvious if it was damaged without it being unwrapped
I think that I ended up the day better than I expected too, especially since I had most of everything for Lunch and Dinner except the Pumpkin Pie. I'll use that as a Smart Carb for my Snacks today without the Home Mage Whipped Cream.
Well before Bedtime the Kitchen was finished, All of the Pans cleaned and put away, Dishes done, Turkey broken down off of the Bones and on a large platter for the Dark meat and Another one for the Breast meat. I know have enough White meat to take me past Christmas when used 2 or 3 ounces a day for a Power Fuel. Today is Vacuum Seal day and Freeze much of the leftover Turkey and Dressing.
In the news the other day. I found it hard to believe personally however here is a link.
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/16/us/political-divide-splits-relationships-and-thanksgiving-too.html?_r=0WASHINGTON — Matthew Horn, a software engineer from Boulder, Colo., canceled Christmas plans with his family in Texas. Nancy Sundin, a social worker in Spokane, Wash., has called off Thanksgiving with her mother and brother. Ruth Dorancy, a software designer in Chicago, decided to move her wedding so that her fiancé’s grandmother and aunt, strong Trump supporters from Florida, could not attend.
The election is over, but the repercussions in people’s lives may be just beginning as families across the United States contemplate uncomfortable holidays — or decide to bypass them — and relationships among friends, relatives and spouses are tested across the political divide.
Democrats have dug in their heels, and in some cases are refusing to sit across the table from relatives who voted for President-elect Donald J. Trump, a man they say stands for things they abhor. Many who voted for Mr. Trump say it is the liberals who are to blame for discord, unfairly tarring them with the odious label of “racist” just because they voted for someone else.
I hope everybody Had a Great Holiday
Have a Great Friday

I eat a lot but it was really good.Today we are going to get our Christmas tree we always cut it down and it stays really nice till the new year we have it in our sun room which is chiller than the rest of the house. So is any one going shopping today? I gave that up years ago I did do some shopping on line but mostly getting stuff for our home in browns mills well hope you all have a great day
Hi Irene
I am not even thinking of shopping online today.
Thanksgiving was Really good. I overate too. However it comes around once a year. Now I just need to be strong today and only use some Turkey as a Power Fuel and all the rest of the Meals NS. I am doing
Does the going for a tree indicate You are feeling better, Hopefully.
How Nice that You have a cool room for the tree.
Good Luck

Good morning.
Have fun getting your tree, Irene.
Had a great day with the kids yesterday. I watched portion sizes, but had everything, so the scale is complaining, and I didn't sleep well. Have to have a treat once in a while.
Gray morning here. I have an acupuncture appt this afternoon. Other than that, it's a day off.
Happy Friday. 0 -
Hi Vix
Been there, Did that yesterday. TBH the scale was not quite as bad as I thought it might be, OTOH there are extenuating circumstances. Agreed, it was a Family Type Holiday I am thinking of going back out later to finish my walk since I am feeling better now.
I suspect that according to the weather forecast I just watched it shall be gray all day. That is despite their saying a occasional bit of blue sky.
I put the Pumpkin pies back in to bake some more, hopefully that will help. I am not sure where we went wrong that caused the Crust to be raw in the the middle unless it bubbled up somehow. As always we baked with the Pie Pans sitting on a Flat Baking Sheet. That is supposed to help cook the Bottom faster than the top. I also have now washed and folded my Laundry, finishing my chores for the day.
Possible Rain tonight into tomorrow according to the Accuweather website.
I'm glad You had a good Visit, Family counts
Good Luck with the Accupuncture
Roger0 -
Thanks, Roger, no cupping today, so acupuncture was relaxing.
I hope you can fix the pies. There was an interesting instruction on my Mrs. Smith's that said the edges should look solid and the middle should be a dome shape when they're ready. That worked well.
Gray here all day too.0 -
Hi Vix
In reverse order
I just stuck my head out the door to see if there was mail and there was a smattering of water drops on the mailbox and my brothers car in the driveway.
I suspect that dome in the middle thing refers to pies with a top and bottom crust. These were Pumpkin Pies so no top crust. We use a new Toy my Brother picked up on one of them, It is a metal ring that covers the edge of the crust and leaves the center open to keep the crust from getting too brown.
On the Plus side I re-baked the Pumpkin Pies this morning and just had a slice, all of two inches wide at the crust end and it was delicious. I had passed on tasting it yesterday and then when my Brother mentioned that the crust was under done and displayed it I passed on it until the re-bake
I ran across this elsewhere referring to overeating for Holidays.
"There's a phrase for days like yesterday.....Just Resume! Yep, no recriminations, or guilt, etc...just simply resume."
Have a nice evening
Roger0 -
Hi Roger....it was a pumpkin pie, no top crust....at a point around 65-70 minutes, the middle of the circle rose into a dome shape...I've never noticed it before, but it came out perfect.
Your quote...exactly. I've been going off every so often and the only way to counteract it, is to get right back the next day.
Have a good night. 0 -
Hi Vix
I never saw a dome shape in the middle of a Pumpkin Pie and I have seen many of them over the years in stores
I am guessing that You are talking a frozen Mrs. Smith's Pie?
We used to be able to go to a restaurant Supply location and their Frozen Pies were pretty tasty. Then they moved out of town and closed it to the public.
Fortunately that baking again today seems to have done a good job of rescuing the Pies. Now since the small slice I had was tasty, I have to be careful not to eat to much.
I wonder what the effect on the cooking would be if You froze a Home Made pie and then Baked it for longer?
Probably a waste of time as usually they come out fine.
Enjoy Your Evening
Roger
BTW do You get notices in email that a new message has been posted to message where You replied? I have that set and the only notices I get are if someone Posts Comment on the My Home page.0 -
good morning, after George put up the tree I went back to bed with nyquil and I am going to do it again today I think sleep and rest is the only way to get rid of this I will worry about putting lights and stuff on the tree at a later date sounds like you all had a great holiday me I am not even going near the scale!0

Hi
It was showing 46 degrees one whole degree warmer than yesterday. I only walked 6,932 steps on this walk.
I was feeling better later in the day on Friday So I walked to the Dollar Store and Bought a Box of Blueberry Waffles and a box of Blueberry Pancakes and a quart of 1% milk, Use by Date of September 2017. I ended up over 10K steps on the return from that walk
Have a Great Weekend

FWIW the scale is not too unhappy with me. I did the "Just Resume! Yep, no recriminations, or guilt, etc...just simply resume. " Yesterday and that has helped. Today is most likely a lost cause as Lunch with friends at the Thai place is coming up at Noontime.
Even if Sleep does not help when You have a cold or the flu it sure feels good
Good Luck with the scale, Illness does tend to be a diet wrecker.\
Roger0 -
Good morning.
Sleep well, Irene.
Roger...the dome shape settled back down flat as the pie cooled. Glad you were able to rescue your pie. I need to not eat the leftovers!
No plans yet for today, have a few things to do around the house. That's about it.
Enjoy your day. 0 -
Hi
It was showing 37 degrees a bit cooler than yesterday. I walked 8,909 steps + 1 Cent. I ended up with 10,022 steps yesterday and too much Thai food. The scale was not happy with me this morning. Now I have to resume and get rid of that extra weight
Have a Great Sunday
Roger
Hi Vix
The only left overs I plan to eat are the Turkey breast that I broke down into two day packages of 4.5 Ounces Plus or minus a little. According to http://www.ohpoultry.org/fastfacts/docs/nutrition/Turkey nutrition facts.pdf
a 3 ounce portion is 120 calories so the 2.25 ounce portion of it will be a good Power Fuel.
Turkey Nutrition Facts
A three-ounce serving of boneless, skinless turkey breast contains 26 grams of protein,
one gram of fat and 0 grams of saturated fat.
A skinless turkey breast has eight percent more protein than the same size serving of
boneless skinless chicken breast or trimmed top loin beefsteak
I have done most of today's goal, I did my walk and went a little further than usual and am nearly ready to go finish my spread out Breakfast. Banana before the walk, Protein Shake after and in a little while a Sunday treat, a NS Frozen Cinnamon Roll to finish my breakfast
Have a Nice Day

Good morning.
Roger, I put a few individual baggies of turkey breast in the freezer (about 3-4 oz), so I can heat them up for dinners. My husband loves leftover turkey, so the rest is just about gone!
Sunny and cold here this morning. No special plans for today.
Happy Sunday.0 -

Good evening;
It sounds like everyone had a nice thanksgiving. Ours was quiet. We went to the movies at 11:00 and then came home and cooked dinner.
Friday, hubby and I went to New Hampshire for the weekend. They had a little of snow up there. We went on a sleight ride. It was fun. It was called the Chocolate Jingle Bell Tour. Everyone got a bell to hang around their neck and when we stopped at certain places along the ride, we rang the bells and someone would come out and give us a chocolate treat.
We were also going to take a scenic train ride around Conway, but it was too foggy.
It rained all the way up, but all in all we had a good weekend.
Irene-I hope your cold eases up soon.
Roger-Hubby made up lunches for himself with the thanksgiving leftovers. He likes to have a hot lunch at work instead of sandwiches.
Hi Vix-what is cupping? Does it hurt when you get stuck with the acupuncture needles?
Have a good evening. 0 -
Sounds like a wonderful weekend, Jo...you do a lot of different things.
It's the first time I've ever done cupping. Do you remember the red circles that were on some of the Olympians (mostly swimmers) backs or arms? Anyway the therapist heats up the air inside a small cup and then puts it on your skin...there's a suction within the cup so it pulls. I guess when you end up with a circle they're just stretching a muscle at one location. I had big stripes of bruises because she was stretching and pulling several muscles in a line down next to my spine and across my shoulders. It did actually relieve some of the tenseness. It didn't really hurt much, but the bruises looked awful! The acupuncture needles don't hurt at all. They are very small and you don't really feel them, just kind of a tap on your skin.
Have a good night, everyone. 0 -
good morning, Vix it sure sounds painful but your bruises will go away hope it helps you. I went for a walk this morning I coughed the whole time but sooner or later it has to go away. I did 8680 steps so I feel good. My scale has me up a pound not surprising since I haven't been doing any walking.0
-
Good morning;
Yay, on the steps Irene. I currently have 52 steps.
I ordered a christmas gift on line and they sent me the wrong item. It wasn't even anything close to what I ordered.
My rash under my arm is worse and starting to spread. I am going to call the dr. today and see if they can squeeze me in.
Have a good day. 0 -
Hi
It was showing 36 degrees a bit cooler than yesterday. I walked 6.8K steps so far since I will be going out later walking again. I had over 10k steps by 3PM yesterday and neglected to see the total steps for the day at the end of the day
Today I have started the day off with some banana before I want walking and am now enjoying a NS Vanilla Protein Shake withe rest of that banana blended in.
Saturday I ended up having the Chicken Pad Thai as I have a bit of a sweet tooth and had one of the skewers of Chicken Satay. I thought about having the Chicken PAD SEE-EW or maybe the Chicken Thai Fried Rice. I like their STICKY RICE WITH THAI CUSTARD however I passed on it this time
Did I mention that I had a few Raspberries off of the bushes in the garden, I am amazed how long they produced, I hope the last few ripen before the frost eats them instead of me
Have a Great Monday

It sounds as if You had a good time.
I used to have hot lunches at work using either the Microwave, Delivered foods or several days of the week from the next door Thai Food Place.Joanne3366 wrote: »Good morning;

Oops, I hope they get it fixed quickly. Every now and then I have had Amazon send the wrong Item. One of them the wrong item they sent they decided not to recover as the expense of their paying the return shipping was higher than the items cost
Good Luck with the rash

Hi Vix
I hate it when I get bruises, they take so long to completely go away, Hopefully Yours clear up sooner.
I had a suspicion that was what cupping was, I remember the explanation from the Olympics.
OTOH if they help why not.
Have a Nice Day

I was not coughing, however this time of year my nose runs the entire walk, I think I would almost prefer coughing...
Congratulations on the Steps

Good morning.
Jo, one of my friends was allergic to sulfa drugs which is in some of the rash creams which she only found out when the rash got really worse and started to spread....you may want to check that. Hope you feel better soon.
I bought some Arnica cream at GNC and the bruises went away really quickly...it's already gone!

Hi
It was showing 52 degrees somewhat warmer than yesterday. I walked 8K steps. I had over 10k steps by Noon yesterday and neglected to see what the total steps for the day were at the end of the day
The Forecast rain started as I was on the outbound leg of this morning walk. I managed to go one Block before it started with the stray drops of rain, during the walk the rain slowly increased to a light drizzle and then a real light rain. The Heavy rain is in the near future for today and another round of rain tomorrow. We do need it and the forecast is for 1 to 2 inches total.
I had a few more Raspberries off of the bushes in the garden, I am amazed how long they produced, I hope the last few that are hanging in there ripen before the frost eats them instead of me
In the weird news segment today:
People paid Cards Against Humanity more than $100,000 to dig a hole
http://www.cnbc.com/2016/11/28/people-paid-cards-against-humanity-to-dig-a-hole.html
The creators of Cards Against Humanity, the "party game for horrible people," raised more than $100,000 and threw it into a hole.
Starting at 1 p.m. ET on Friday, Cards Against Humanity launched its Holiday Hole campaign. For every dollar donated, the company added several seconds to the "dig clock."
While the majority of folks appeared to have donated a meager $5 to the campaign, several people spent more than $1,000 for the "cause."
It is unclear if all of the $100,573 raised went into the equipment rental and labor costs or if the company has any leftover funds for use as it sees fit. The company is slated to release an update about the event soon.
Cards Against Humanity did not immediately respond to CNBC's request for comment.
The company tweeted on Sunday that the "hole got dug," signifying the end of the whole hole digging event.
Have a Great Tuesday

Wow, that sounds like a miracle cream to do that so fast.
I guess You are either having or will have rain too?

Hi Irene
Good News on the Feeling better and the steps for the day. I also wore the Frogg Toggs Rain Jacket and did not bother with the Rain Pants after seeing the radar map on News12 The Cable Channel showing that the rain was still to the west near the NJ/Pa border.
Have a Nice Day
