Good morning.
Irene, congrats on the pound lost! Yay!
Jo, apple muffins sound delicious. Lucky husband (and Vinny)!
Looks like another beautiful sunny day today.
Off to painting class in a little while.
Enjoy your day.0 -
Good evening;
Irene-congrats on losing a lb.
The weather has been perfect the past 2 days.
Vix-What are you painting? I just sent away for 2 adult coloring books. I guess they are the newest craze. It is supposed to be relaxing.
Roger-Did you get your walk in today?
Have a great evening.

Hi all
Jo, a coloring book does sound relaxing. I'm doing another autumn painting, but I have a pretty big canvas. I've been working smaller, so all that space is a little overwhelming. I think it's 16"X20". It's a stream in a park not too far from where we live. My husband took the photo and it's really pretty. Of course, my painting won't be exactly like the photo! It's an experiment and a challenge, but I do enjoy it. It'll be more fun, once the spaces start filling in.0 -
Hi All
I got out walking this morning around 6:30, Nice and cool, 67 degrees, Low Humidity too.
I walked 2.79+ miles, I'm not sure how much more as I walked the route in reverse and did not notice I was heading down a dead end and had to backtrack. OK, I just checked in MapMyRun and it looks like I added 0.14 miles so that makes the walk so I guess I walked 2.93 miles
They seem to have killed off the forums all the way , Sadly the Main website is organized worse IMO and still slow, slightly better but still somewhat slow.
Cheers
RogerGood morning.
Roger, funny how retirement has improved my driving, realizing the importance of safety first. No reason to speed, nowhere to rush to, no desire whatsoever to have any interaction with local law enforcement!
Ha....work was different, there were a lot of people lacking the work ethic.
It's a beautiful sunny day today.
Have a good one, everyone.
Hi Vix
I have slowed down since I retired too. Back in the 70s through the 90s when I drove for a living I was always in a hurry.
You have to be careful in my area some of the roads the speeds drop from 40 to 25 once You cross a city boundary. And those towns set up radar regularly too, I guess they need the money
Cheers

Work this morning and then came home and baked some muffins for hubby. Last week when I made his muffins, I left them on the counter to cool. My husband came into the kitchen, looked at the muffins and said what happened.
One of them had a bite taken out of it. I looked at Vinny and he was licking his chops. I guess he likes apple muffins too.
Vix-I think the gym is just covering themselves from people who will take advantage.
Roger-I have been stopped twice in my life for speeding, so now I always follow the speed limit signs. The first time I got a ticket for $100.00 and the second time just a warning. I have noticed a lot of people run red lights, turn right on red without even stopping and coast through stop signs. They seem to think it is only a suggestion and not something that has to be followed.
Hi Joanne
We get that too, Sometimes they do not slow down for the stop sign, why they do not get wrecked I do not know.
It just isn't worth it to be speeding. I Just set the Cruise Control for any speed from 25MPH up and relax. I have learned by observation not to go when the light turns green without looking both ways first.
Do I understand it correctly, You baked Dog Food?
Cheers

Hi All
One thing I have noticed is that when I go to new messages, If they are one two pages I need to answer the first page as the forum loses the quotes when I go to the second page.
Cheers

Good morning.
Roger, there are noted speed traps here too, and various surprise ones. Some of them drop to 25 or 30 mph, some of them warn you that there are photo traps. Everyone drives really slowly through there....you can see the cameras!
Irene...guess you got the final gel shot...hope you're feeling great.
Jo, that is kind of unusual for a cat...more likely for pups to take a bite of non-protein people food.
Looks like another beautiful day here. Yay!
Happy Friday, everyone.0 -
Hi Vix
Tickets is just another hidden tax on the motorist.
You may have noticed I am running late today too, and running out of time too.

Good Evening;
I almost forgot to log in.
Roger- It was cat food that I baked!
I just had the ginger cashew chicken for dinner. I see what you mean by it being spicy. I don't think I will be ordering it again.
Vix-Since Vinny has been on his diabetic diet of no dry food, he will eat anything. I think he misses the crunch of the dry food.
Irene-How is your knee feeling?
I got an email about the new nutrisystem site, but just glanced at it. I will check it out later when I have more time.
Have a great night.

Jo, now I remember....my cat also started eating some people food when we took her off the dry food. I guess they do miss it. (She was on a special low protein diet for her kidneys).
Hi Roger....guess you're having a busy day...hope you got all your stuff done.
Hi Irene.
Enjoy the weekend everyone.0 -
Happy beautiful Saturday morning everyone. I'm hoping to get out for a short walk this morning before it gets hot. I think I'm ready for that.
Enjoy the day.0 -
Hi All
I went walking this morning, Again
I ended up walking 3.05 miles Plus a run to Costco where I blitzed through buying the three items I had on my list, Light & Fit Greek Yogurt 18 pack on sale until 8-2 for $9.99, 2 ten packs of the Kleenex Family size on sale for $14.19 and two 5 pond bags of Frozen Normandy Mix vegetables @ $6.49. Each bag is 40 servings so cheaper than the 4 serving size when on sale at the Grocery store @ 99cents.
It was 68 degrees and 37% humidity when I went out this morning at 6:20AM.
Have a Good Weekend
Roger

Hi Joanne
I gave that one to my brother who looked at me and said it isn't spicy
My Brother had a cat in his house that loved to eat Cantaloupe. Weird to me, You?
I went to the Leaf and so far they now have three different sites, Yuck

Hi Vix
Semi easy day today, Walk, Costco, ran a new 50 foot soaker hose, still need to water the potted flowers.
OTOH, My Brother is out in Pennsylvania at some show and that frees up some time
Have a Good Day

Good Evening;
I hope everyone is having a good weekend.
I am going to my niece's house for a cookout tomorrow. I am making a double layer chocolate cake to take.
It was a cake my mother use to make and all the grandkids loved it. I didn't have enough eggs, so instead of jumping in the car and going to the supermarket, I walked to the little store up the street from me.
Have a good evening.

Good morning,
Enjoy the cookout today, Jo. Chocolate cake sounds yummy, good for you for walking to the store.
Roger...what is the Leaf? I finally went for a walk in the park yesterday. We took our time, probably walked about a mile, slowly. Ankle was a little swollen after (I put it up with some ice when we got home) , but it was nice to get out and about. I've been buying the Light & Fit Greek yogurt and freezing each container into 5 muffin cups. Great for snacks/dessert.
May be going for another walk in the park today...trying to get back into it before we go on vacation.
Looks like another beautiful but hot day.
Happy Sunday, everyone.0 -
Good morning;
It is raining here today. I think we will be eating inside at the cookout.
Vix-Where are you going on vacation? I tried freezing the yogurt, but wasn't fond of the texture.
Take it slow and easy when walking. Does your ankle hurt after walking?
Have a good day.0 -
Hi All
I walked 2.79 miles = 7700 steps according to the FB Zip. Yesterdays Dew Point was in the 50s and this mornings is in the 60s and going up to the 70s later today. No Breeze except from passing cars, Warm & Moderately Humid and I did work up a sweat.
Have a Great Sunday

Hi Joanne
Good for You walking to the store. The prices on Eggs have been going, going, going up lately. My Brother has them at breakfast each day and is complaining about the price.
I wonder if the egg prices will have an effect on some of the NS Breakfast Entrees that have Egg in them? Maybe that is what happened to the Canadian Bacon - Egg White Biscuit?
Cheers

Good morning.
Irene, sounds like a nice weekend
Roger, thanks for the link to the leaf, may be good for some recipes.
Jo, we're going to Seattle. Should be fun. We've never been there before. I think my ankle will be ok. We went for another walk yesterday. Walked slowly along a trail for about an hour. I wanted to make sure I'm going to be able to do that because we are planning to take a side trip to Mount Ranier and at least want to be able to go to a lookout point. haha, not climbing the mountain! I also bought a new pair of sneakers that are lower on the sides so they don't rub against the ankle. That'll be better than my slip ons.
My son will be by in a while to get some of his things, he's moving to a new apt today. He and his gf stopped by last night for a few minutes. Always good to see them.
And I have a massage this afternoon.
Enjoy your day.0 -
Hi All
I walked 2.8 miles this morning, I got out the door around Sunrise and it must have finished raining shortly before that, 88% Humidity. What helped was that the Sun stayed behind the clouds until after I got home. The town does a good job on our parks, After I got my Coffee at McDs I walked a new route and admired the basketball courts, Tennis, Horseshoe pitches, Etc. and the Children's playground. Lots of nicely maintained Grassy area too. Plus when I decide to extend my walks in the future I can walk around part of the park on the Roadway.
Have a Nice Day

Hi Irene
I am glad to hear things are going good. I may be strange as I never minded working the weekend when I wa driving for a living. Working them meant a lower seniority driver with kids could get them off. Same with Taking my vacations in January, Plus that was off season in Florida and best prices and lowest crowds.

Good Evening;
Irene-sounds like you had a good weekend. I am glad the knee is feeling better.
Vix-I have always wanted to go to Seattle. It sounds like a wonderful trip.
Roger-I paid 1.99 for a dozen eggs at a little convenience store. I didn't think that was a bad price.
Our cookout didn't get rained out yesterday.
Have a good evening.

Good morning.
Funny spell checker poem, Roger. Really foggy here this morning. There's a nice county park about 20 minutes from our house. There's a lake, nature center, and some good walking trails.
Jo, I'm looking forward to our trip to Seattle, just hoping I don't tire out too quickly/easily.There seems to be a ton of things to see/do there.
Has anyone tried Click....I've been seeing online ads for it.....an espresso flavored protein drink.
Clay class for me today.
Enjoy your day.0 -
Hi All
I got out the Door at 5:20AM, Sunrise was at 5:47, It was semi comfortable with the Humidity, However I did beat the heat of the day and Only had sun on my back as I was heading to home. 2.75 Miles, 14 Cents and sweating. The temperatures today are suppose to hit near 90, tomorrow is supposed to be in the 90s and a THI in the triple digits.
I just did a quick run to the produce store, hot outside now.
Have a Good Day

Hi Joanne
The Local Supermarket was $2.49 for large eggs. The Produce store that is usually cheaper was no better either.
That sounds like good news, Not getting rained out. We had Rain and Thunder yesterday around 5PM.
Saved me having to water

Hi Vix
Glad the Spell checker was enjoyed.
We have 5 parks (Playgrounds) within a 30 minute walk. Some have basketball courts and Kids Playgrounds, Some have those and Tennis and Horse Shoes, Ball fields and one has a Bocce court. There may be more I have not walked past yet until I extend my walking range.
I hear Seattle is nice, Be careful with prices they raised the Minimum wage to $15 an hour in SeaTac city. it might pay to get away from there to buy anything. San Francisco did likewise as I understand it and it looks like Fast Food Workers in NY are going to get that in the future too.
Never heard of Click and probably would not bother. I get my coffee flavored protein drink from NutriSystem.
Cheers
Roger

Good afternoon;
Vix-I never heard of click either. If you try it let us know how it is.
Roger-I was just leaving for work at around the same time.
I am still maintaining. I have been keeping my calorie count to around 1300, I think I may have to lower it to 1200 to start losing again.
I am going to have my hair colored tomorrow. I decided I am not liking the gray.
Have a great evening.

good morning, well I think the reason I am starting to loose is I don't snack when I come home at night and I started walking again but work sure has me going well got to go to work talk to ypu all tomorrow0
-
Good morning;
Irene-sounds like you are on the right track. Night snacking is one of my problems.
I had the frozen pancakes for breakfast this morning. I ate them with nothing on them. I thought they were sweet enough that they didn't need syrup.
I have been having the melts for lunch. I heat them up in the morning before work and then eat them cold for lunch.
Have a great day and try to stay cool.0 -
Good morning.
Irene, congrats for getting the weight loss going again. Yay!
Jo, I'm stuck again too. Had some extra snacks yesterday and the scale pops up immediately! I know better than to do that, just have crave days once in a while, need to be careful not to go too much overboard.
Roger, prices are high everywhere. I don't usually buy a lot of things on vacation. We're more into seeing interesting places around the area where we're going. (I don't know how people get by on minimum wage. I'd rather pay a little more and have less homeless people here. I'd love to see more made in the USA tags.)
Anyhow, going to do some things around the house today. It's supposed to be in the high 80s here all week. Currently overcast. Also need a trip to the library later.
Have a good day, everyone.0 -
Hi All
I got out the door at 5:45AM, I did not beat the heat of course, but it was not too bad until a little ways into the walk so I ended up walking 2.7 Miles I worked up a fair sweat despite getting home at 7AM it was already hot.
Getting out early is the only way to beat the worst of the heat and beat the sun beating down on me too.
Have a Nice Day

Hi Joanne
I dropped 100 calories off of my meals and started walking so I can not point and say what did help, However I think it could be a combination of both as I believe I am at the point of going from 1800 calories to 1500 calories a day.
Good Luck

Hi Joanne
I like the frozen pancakes too. OTOH with the pancake mix I add two packets of sweeteners and then add some Maple or Vanilla extract or part of a water flavoring packet and have different tasting pancakes that way.
How are the Melts cold? It sounds as if You are enjoying the frozen foods.

Hi Vix
The wages would rise on their own if the demand for help was there. All that foreign made goods is jobs going to another country as well as feeding their economy and draining money from our economy. Just my Opinion of course and I could be wrong.
You are having better weather than my forecast is showing
Cheers

good morning, well today is my weigh in day and another pound lost yea . It was so hot here yesterday hope it starts to cool off a little well gotta go to work take care all and stay cool0

hello.
Congrats Irene on another pound gone. Yay!
Roger, nice film. I agree we need to bring jobs back to our own country. I've always believed in leading by example.
We saw some interesting videos in art class this morning. One on drawing a face, the other on wetness in water color painting.
We're having a t-storm that wasn't expected today....good thing, I forgot to water my outdoor pots this morning!
Hope you're all having a good day.0 -
Good Evening;
Roger-I like the melts cold. I also eat some of the shelf stable foods cold also. I put the red beans and rice over my salad. Thanks for sharing the film.
Irene-congrats on another lb. gone.
Vix-On radar we are supposed to get thunder showers tonight. It is pretty gloomy out now. We can sure use the rain, my lawn is getting very brown.
I had my hair colored yesterday, no more gray. I am now a blonde. I tried to upload a new photo, but it is sideways and I haven't figured out how to turn it right side up. It is on my profile page if you want to have a look. I feel like a new person.
Have a relaxing night.

Hi Jo, your profile page says it's private....I think if you post it on here and it shows up sideways, if we click on it as we're reading, it turns right side up. We got thrunderstorms around mid-day, but supposed to be sunny the rest of the week.
Have a good night, everyone.0
