Hi
I was out walking for 7.7K Steps. The temperature is 31 degrees and a nice windless day. The lack of wind means that it felt comfortable walking. The slight possibility of snow coming as far north as where I am has not happened, South NJ is showing as having the snow. There is likely to be snow Tuesday however
Have a Great Monday

Hi VixGood morning.
Nothing special planned for today. It's still mostly cloudy here...gray. It's in the 30s here for a while. But will get out somewhere later.
Not cleaning today, my cleaning people are coming Wednesday. I will leave it for them. Will just pick up and get rid of the clutter before then.
There is a little purple finch (which are actually red...or maybe a house finch) sitting in the spruce tree just outside my window. He's so cute just sitting there....I think he's watching me watching him.
You're all doing great with all the walking and cleaning, etc! I've been lollygagging all morning!
Have a great day.
Don't feel bad, I can Lollygag with the best of them
I was wondering if You were getting any of the snow that is falling in South NJ, I was guessing it must be in Delaware and possibly Maryland. Good news for You that it is not falling. I am not looking forward to Tomorrows forecast snow
Have a Nice Day

I am off first thing this morning to get my yearly Mammogram. After that I have a few errands to run and then the rest of the day to myself.
It is currently 23 degrees and will only get to about 30 today, so I don't think I will be doing much outside.
Have a great day!
Hi Joanne
That sounds a bit chilly. That makes it sound like a good day for Hot Chocolate or a Hot Cup of Soup.
Stay Warm and hopefully You will get Your errands done speedily. My last trip through the ShopRite Saturday I think I spent a whopping 15 minutes in the store and much of that was inspecting the mark down bin and deciding which frozen entrees to buy on sale. I got lucky and hit a empty register on the checkout despite the other registers being busy. Every now and then You get lucky

Hi....we had some snow flurries, but all is well. Went swimming this a.m. and off for a massage in a little while.
Good luck with your mammo, Jo. Good day to relax at home. Cold here too.
Good for you, Roger and Irene getting your walks in!

Good morning.
Cold and cloudy again. There is a dusting of snow on the roads, but it's supposed to go up into the 40s today so will melt off.
Going to play with clay today.
Trying to eat more protein, so I had 2 eggs and 1/2 cup of veggies this a.m. for breakfast. Usually have 1 egg and more veggies. Working on another revamp of my diet.
Have a great day, everyone.

You are doing good with Your steps, I was a little shy on my step count yesterday which is why I am high today...

If I said the only vegetable I have ever used at breakfast in Potatoes would You be all that surprise?
With the snow, I am thinking we will not get much but who knows until it is done.
Good Luck with the Diet Revamp

good morning, We had an interesting walk this morning I gad to call the police a man hit a car and was trying to take off . So we were able to stop him for doing a hit and run his van was right in the middle of the road he hit the other 2 cars so hard he couldn't turn his front tire but he sure tried . I never called 911 before I guess it is a first time for everything not sure how he hit them all we heard was the bang I think he might of them drunk I stayed back and George talked to the man but I don't think he spoke a lot of English , but the good thing was no one was hurt.The people that got there car smashed were really upset . George stayed and gave the report I took Annie and finished our walk one of the neighbors were upset so Annie and I left,George met up with us a few minutes later.So I still got my 8k steps in. Today I am staying in trenton in case it snows so far we don't have any but it is suppose to snow and then rain so to play it safe I am staying put I have enough work here to keep me busy I am still going threw stuff in my attic. Vix now that you are more protein are you starting to feel better? Roger awesome job on the steps!Jo I hope you are staying warm0
-
Irene, that sounds scary. You and George did a good deed. WTG on the walk.
Roger, yes, men definitely eat differently than women. I can't remember the last time I had white potatoes....probably on vacation. I try to get veggies at almost every meal...they are basically my carbs...veggies and fruit and legumes (which I'm supposed to cut down on).
Jo, sounds very chilly in your area, keep warm.
I've had some digestive issues in the past with eating more protein, but will try again, now that I've made so many changes to my diet.0 -
Good afternoon;
It is snowing! I will have to listen to the weather report to see how much we are getting.
Irene-calling 911 was your good deed for the day. I am glad no one was hurt.
Vix-good luck with the diet changes.
Hi Roger.
We are gearing up for Super Bowl Weekend at work. Management is expecting it to be very busy on Saturday and Sunday. They asked me to work on Sunday for a few hours.

Good luck with the snow, Jo. Our little dusting from this morning is gone. It's still mostly cloudy out though. Nice to see the sun every once in a while.

Hi
I was out walking for 8.5K Steps + 1 cent. The temperature is 35 degrees, and comfortable for walking. Yesterdays snow ended up being not bad. A few minutes with the broom and the sidewalks were clean. Today some of the sidewalks that had not been cleaned and were shaded still had snow on them. Since the roads were good I modified my route for walking to less traveled roads where there were no sidewalks
I'll be off to CostCo around 9:30 or so for Toilet Paper, Multi-vitamins and since I'll be there a bag of frozen Green Beans and a bag of Normandy Mix vegetables.
Have a Great Wednesday
Roger
Average Hotel Rates In Punxsutawney For Groundhog Day More Expensive Than Those In Houston For Super Bowl
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — We’re just days away from Super Bowl 51 in Houston — but it appears Pennsylvania has the hottest event in February.
Groundhog Day is this Thursday, and apparently people are shelling out big bucks to celebrate the traditional holiday with Punxsutawney Phil.
The hotel website Trivago looked at average hotel rates for Punxsutawney around Groundhog Day. It found they’re actually more expensive than those in Houston for the Super Bowl.
According to Trivago, it costs about $450 for a one-night hotel stay in Punxsutawney. That is compared to the $340 for a room in Houston.
Shadow or not, the average rate drops by more than $300 the day after Groundhog Day.0 -

Hi Irene
I suspect You had Zero Snow Tuesday from looking at the weather reports
When a car crashes into another one like that it is a distinctive noise. We had a employees car get run into in Newark NJ one year while it was parked. The next sound You heard was the driver of the one that did the hitting trying to start the car to take off. I'm sure they couldn't get to far if it had started with the coolant pouring out onto the ground, But they sure did try.
Then when the Police were doing the accident report another car was so busy rubbernecking they did not notice the car in front stop at the traffic light and wham another rear end collision. I understand that is actually a fairly common occurrence too.
I'm sure that once the person that had the car damaged was happy You stopped the driver from taking off. I know I would be upset too, You park Your car and wham it is destroyed there at the curb.
Good Job on the steps despite the excitement

Hi Vix
I can remember the last time I had White potatoes, it was Christmas Dinner
In may case I do not put Potatoes, Peas or some Beans in the Vegetable category, I think of them as a starch AKA Carb. What I eat for vegetable are Green or Yellow Beans, Broccoli, Cauliflower and Lettuce. I do use some Carrots as a Carb FWIW.Good luck with the snow, Jo. Our little dusting from this morning is gone. It's still mostly cloudy out though. Nice to see the sun every once in a while.
Have a good evening, everyone.
It sounds as if You were lucky to only get a dusting and Sunshine. We did not see any Sun yesterday, it was cloudy all day. It is still cloudy currently too.
Have a Nice Day

Hopefully Your snow was at worst a nuisance
I almost asked why busy at work and then realized Super Bowl Parties !
Will they give You overtime or comp time at work for Sunday?

good morning, we never got any snow now I am not complaining. I thought we might get a little rain but that didn't happen either. On our walk this morning we found .25 cents and I got in8k steps . Now when we walked I noticed there was no cars parked on the one side of the street where the accident happened I guess people don't want to take a chance. Jo is sunday overtime for you? I remember the crazy hours I use to work when I worked at target because people can get there food shopping and regular shopping done at the same time. vix what are you up to for today?0

Hi all.
I went to body flow class this morning....it keeps getting harder for me. I may switch to swimming on Wednesday too. Still not sure.
Roger, I count potatoes as carbs too. Peas and beans are legumes...a little better than straight carbs as they also have some protein (and lots of fiber). I was also reading that peanuts are not actually nuts, but legumes. Hmm.
Irene, I think we're all glad not to get a lot of snow!
Jo...how was it? Sorry you have to work extra on the weekend.
Will probably go out and run some errands this afternoon, and am planning to go to a lecture at the functional medicine center tonight. Always good to get more information.
Enjoy the rest of your day. 0 -
Good evening;
I was out the door at 4:30 this morning and I didn't arrive home until 5:30 this evening.
After work I went and had my roots colored and a haircut. I am now almost ready for bed.
I found a cent today.
I usually do not eat white potatoes very often. I would rather have a sweet potato.
We only got about an inch of snow and most of it is gone already.
I do get time and a half for working on Sunday and it is an optional day for me. For new hires, Sunday is considered part of their work week. I have been with the company so long that I am grandfathered in.
Vix-Enjoy your lecture and it is good to get all the info you can.
I am going to have my NS lasagna and a salad and try to stay awake to watch a little TV.
Enjoy your evening. 0 -
good morning, we went for our walk so I got my steps in right now I have in 9 k I have been getting my steps in.

Hi
I was out walking for 10.7K Steps + 1 cent. The temperature is 35 degrees, and comfortable for walking.
I stopped at the Grocery Store for Bananas and Picked up a few loose Mixed nuts in the shell and some lightly salted Peanuts that are not bad for Sodium per serving. Then back to home for a Protein Shake and a few minutes later back out teh door to the bank timed to arrive after it opened.
Have a Great Thursday

Hi Irene
I had a feeling about no snow where You are from the weather reports and where they forecast the snowfall depths.

Hi Vix
I'm sorry to hear that the Body Flow is getting harder for You, is it You or are they doing more?
I have heard that about peanuts too. I also seem to remember they are good at building the soil up.
Looking at the 99 cent package I picked up I see that a serving of 28g AKA 1 Ounce is:
160calories and 55mg Sodium, 5g of carbs and 7g of protein.
Have a Nice Day

Did You ever notice that the NS Vegetable Lsagana is the same ingredients as the one with the meat Sauce.

Hi all. Was running late this morning, so headed out to painting class without stopping here first. Found a used frame for my latest painting, so just have to refinish it...a little sanding and maybe spray it black.
Roger, thanks for the continuing fresh supply of humor...laughing is good for our health. As far as the body flow....unfortunately it's me. If I switch, I can console myself that the swimming burns more calories in less time.
Jo, it always feels so good to color up the hair and get it trimmed. But that did sound like a long day. I like sweet potatoes too.
Irene...yay for finishing up your house. Are you getting an inground pool....that would be great for retirement, like a vacation at home.
The lecture was interesting, mostly about diet, stress, hormones. They had an interesting food pyramid, with protein on the bottom, vegetables and fruits in the middle, and nuts and berries on top. Supposedly in grass fed meat ( without antibiotics and hormones) the meat and fat is healthy for you. While in regular commercially raised meat, the antibiotics and hormones are concentrated in the fat, so if you buy that, you should get it as lean as possible or cut off most of the fat. But your body needs healthy fat to function...avocados, olive oil, coconut oil, etc. Also the glycemic index is a good measure, and we know NS got that one right.
Enjoy the rest of your day. 0 -
Good afternoon;
I forgot my fitbit this morning, so hardly any steps recorded for me.
Irene-I bet you are glad the painting is almost done. We had a pool when we first moved to this house. It was above ground. The kids used it when they were little, but as they got older they didn't use it much. It was a lot of work for the little we used it, so we took it down and scraped the aluminium. It was a few extra dollars in our pocket.
Vix-Thanks for the info on the meat. I didn't know that about the fat. Swimming is great exercise.
Roger-I did notice about the lasagna. I like both kinds. I got my shelf stable foods today.
I counted and I have almost 2 months worth of food, so I think I will delay my next order.
Have a good evening. 0 -
Good morning!
Jo, can you add your steps in manually? Just the average of what you usually do? I used to like the lasagna too...one of my favorites.
We're skipping the gym this morning. Hubs has an appt that I have to drive him to. It's gray,cold, and gloomy out, so I don't think I'll go for a walk, but may find something else a bit physical to do.
Happy Friday, everyone! 0 -
good morning, had a great walk I already have in over 10 k steps but what was so cool is we found 28 cents on our walk I felt like I won the lottery ,it is always so much fun when we find change on the ground. As far as the pool we are looking into both in ground or above we aren't sure I would like to go in ground and George wants above it really depends on the price difference if we get above ground we want a deck also so when it gets closer we will be looking at both. Well I finished painting yesterday yea I am so happy it looks so nice and thank you for putting up with me talking about painting . I started to get paperwork from Amazon they want to know if I am coming back I think if they can find me a job that will be easier on my knee(no knelling) I would go back part time would be great but I don't think they have it.I go back to the DR on the 9 th so we shall see.I already went food shopping love it when I can be back home by 7:30 am so the rest of the day will just be cleaning and doing little things around the house. Vix sorry your exercise class is getting hard, but swimming sounds good. Jo you are doing great I know how you fill about leaving your fit bit at home but I think if you go on line you can actually put your steps in. Roger love the humor.0

Hi
I was out walking for 13.1K Steps The temperature is 28 degrees, and comfortable for walking due to no wind chill.
I walked to the barber shop and back hence the high step count. I did stop at the local corner Diner since I was at the barber shop before he opened. I ended up with two eggs and rye toast.
Have a Great Friday

Hi Vix
I like Potatoes, Sweet, White Yellow etc. Can You Sense a theme here ?
Interesting info about their food pyramid too. It is a little hard to get a nice juicy hamburger without fat however
Swimming should be a good exercise too.Good morning!

It is a little gray out but since the wind has not started up yet despite the forecast mentioning wind chill it is not too bad. One benefit of it being cloudy is that I do not have the Sun in my eyes as I head for home.
Have a Nice Day
