It didn't snow here at all, but we have freezing rain all day....looks like the ice hasn't completely melted yet. My hairdresser cancelled the appt and rescheduled for tomorrow, so I don't have to go out in the mess at all.
Stay safe and warm, everyone.0 -

Hi
I'm back from walking again and 1 cent. The temperature this morning was 27 on the porch and 28 on the cable news channel. The Snow yesterday turned to rain and by 7PM all the snow was melted away by the rain. I did have to detour slightly around a few icy spots on the sidewalks, overall everything had dried out by the time I left to go walking.
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 Irene
I had thought that You would escape the snow. Did Your snow all melt away ?
Have a Nice Day

Hi Vix
Wow, Freezing rain, we did escape that here. You were lucky You did not have to go out. I had been hoping that it would dry up outside before I went walking and sure enough it did.
Have a Good Day

Thanks for the link.
Yesterday was not a good day for me with food, My brother went to the grocery store and brought a Cheddar Cheese that was on sale and a 50% off Sandwich both of which were for me. The Sandwich was Humongous ans sadly I ate the whole thingIt was Three huge slices of Rye which had a layer of Cole Slaw, Swiss Cheese and Ham and supposedly Thousand Island Dressing between the middle bread and the top and bottom layers. Tasty too, I say supposedly Thousand Island Dressing as I did not spot it or taste it. For such a huge sandwich it was only $3.99, I should have weighed it before eating if for no other reason than curiosity. I did at least remove the middle layer of Rye bread.
Good morning.

Oh well, Back to 100% NS plan for me and no weighing until the water weight I know I gained has come off. Too many Carbs make me retain water worse than salt does.
I need to go over my NS order this morning and order a NS gift card from CostCo to finish paying got it with discounted money so to speak. The Alternative is Reduce some of the A La Carte items. I do add them and then extend the next order for the three months allowed
You have a Busy day happening.

good morning, painting is done yea. Today they are putting our carpet down it won't be long and we will be putting our house up for sale. Everything is looking really good. Roger I placed an ns order yesterday . vix Hope your visit with your DR goes good and you get to get your hair done. Hey Jo0

Good evening;
Vix-I hope you were able to get your hair done.
Roger-congrats on continuing to lose weight. I am still struggling.
Irene-Congrats on getting all the painting done. I hope the carpeting went smoothly.
We are now going through a conversion of our operating systems at work and everything is a mess. The warehouse where our products come from has been having some adjustment issues, so that means no products getting delivered to the stores. We are also getting ready for Valentines day, making chocolate covered strawberries, busy, busy busy!!
Have a good evening.

So the color is off putting because it doesn't look red enough and grilled enough like a slim jim HOWEVER the taste is amazing. It tastes just like the link sausages you can get at the polish and Russian markets without the fat white pieces sticking through.....oh and it tastes better than a slim jim.

I struggle, Yesterday my Brother baked a Kielbasa in a cast iron skillet and I had some, as far as I can tell I had around 170 calories of it, It was so tasty too, I could have eaten a lot more if it was not fair to do that to my brother. That is all extra calories I ate for the day
That sounds like a royal pain, I hope they are rolling out the change to the stores one at a time. No products = no sell, what were they thinking, if the old system was working why change it.
Is it not a little early to be doing chocolate covered strawberries ? Will they stay fresh until Wednesday ? Even if they do they will not last as long after purchase. I always look at sell by dates and make sure to get the item with the longest shelf life even if it means checking the back of the shelf to find the newest ones, especially with dairy products and the 647 Bread.
Good Luck

Good morning.
Congrats on finishing your painting and getting the rugs in , Irene. I know that's a load off your mind.
Roger, good for you for getting your walk in already.
Jo, sorry you're so busy! Hope you get to enjoy some of those chocolate covered strawberries!
Yes , I finally got my hair cut and colored....feels so much better!
Looks gray out this a.m. No plans yet for today.

Hi Vix
If I said getting the walk in early was not too hard, I woke up before 5 and could not fall asleep so I went.
Is there rain in Your Saturday & Sunday forecast too ?
Cheers

hi all, My carpet looks so good what a difference it is nice and light it actually looks bigger. So now I have just cleaning to do like clean the oven stuff like that we plan on putting the house up for sale in March it is such a relieve to have all the painting done . Today we went for a nice walk I got in over 10 k which is pretty good . Roger we are suppose to get rain also but rain is better than snow. Vix glad you were able to get your hair done , I go on Thursday I can't wait it always feels so much better. Jo good luck getting your order in . I am actually giving up choc. for lent so no strawberry 's for me. have a great afternoon oh I found a penny today0
-
Good morning;
Roger-I think it is a little early for the chocolate strawberries. They only have a day code on them. Someone higher up thinks it is a good idea, so we have to do it.
The change is being done by district. There are about 15-20 stores in our district. The idea is to get everyone on the same system as Albertson's, who is our parent company.
Irene-you are almost at the finish line, good luck with the sale.
Vix-Nothing like a color and hair cut to brighten the day! Now that I am use to the shorter haircut that I got, I think I will keep it like this. It is so much easier to do in the morning.
I have no specific plans for today.
Happy Sunday!0 -

Hi Irene
From what the Weather forecast I saw this morning before going walking said that South Jersey had already had over an inch of rain Saturday with more coming today.
There was a light rain when I left the house and as a result of that and the forecast for heavier rain I wore a complete set of rain gear and Waterproof boots.
Whee, Nearly done
Congratulations on finding money while walking.

Hi Joanne
I know why they want them done already so that they can be sold to the weekend shoppers. I also think that there is no way the Strawberries can still fresh by Wednesday, Oh well. I'm guessing that the day code only indicates a pack date in a less than easy to understand form ?
Lots of Luck at Work

Good morning.
Roger, we had some rain yesterday, and it was raining like crazy this morning. We're going in to Baltimore to the car show with my son, so I hope it lightens up a bit. At least it's warmer.
Irene, congrats on getting the house fixed up, and good luck with the sale
Jo, I noticed there are a lot of stores that have the same parent company...Safeway is also included in that group. (I just got the store monopoly game). The shorter hair is much easier, and I like the lighter color I've been getting.
Happy Sunday, everyone.0 -
hi all, when we walked this morning we all got soaked and we all had on rain coats including Annie hers is a bright yellow I always makes sure she is covered because her fur is like a sponge it soakes up all the water and it takes hours to dry. We only went an half hour which was fine with me. but I did get in 6ksteps today is going to be a pj day . I always wear my hair shorter now it is just so much easier and it looks better. Vix enjoy the car show. Jo hope you don't have to work to hard. Roger I also ordered one of the meat sticks, haven't gotten it yet. What I am going threw right now is really bad sweet attacks not sure if it is from the stress or what I could use some advise here. I will be giving up Cho for lent but it isn't even just cho it is sweet anything good n plenty sure has been tasting good and normally I could care less. have a nice Sunday afternoon0

Hi Irene
What I do with the rain gear is wear a hat that has a brim to shield my face which has the additional benefit of letting me tie the hood on the rain jacket and still not obstruct my vision.
I'm sorry that You got soaked, That gets uncomfortable really quickly. I must be stupid, I had not realized that they make rain coats for dogs
When I get a craving for a sweet I look at my stock of NS snacks and pick a sweet one, Most of them are tasty as a example the Chocolate baked goods. Salty items I look at the Nut/pretzel mix or the Pretzels.
I am still waiting for my current order to ship, I just looked in my email and no tracking numbers yetThat is both good and bad, the good is that it lets me use more of the items left, the bad is that I really want to try the new limited time frozen dinners and the meat stick.
I had a big bag of beef stick ends that we were given by a friend last year. The ones that were eaten were tasty, However I just went to look at the nutrition info and the ones left in the bag had grown fur so they are now in the kitchen garbage can, what a waste
