    Hope Annie is feeling better, Irene.
    Roger...I don't have to look at what you put here. I shouldn't have this morning.

    Good morning;
    It is supposed to be rainy all day. My daughter and I are going to the mall for some girl time.
    Yesterday we went to lunch at a Lebanese restaurant. I had a lamb gyro wrap. It was so good.
    Irene-I hope Annie gets better soon.
    Hi Roger and Vix.
    I hope everyone is having a good weekend. :)

    I have posted humor, Surprise :wink:

    Hi
    I'm back from walking again and no cents. The temperature this morning was 41 on the porch. The fourth day of the four forecast days of rain is the heaviest so far. I was dressed in full rain gear except for the insulated boots as I figured they would be a bit too warm. The Waking shoes I wore are somewhat wet, However I do have a second pair I can use tomorrow while these dry out.

    I saw this on the news last night and both my brother and I said that's not even a meatball.
    National Meatball Day inspires $100 meatball at Davio’s Northern Italian Steakhouse

    The pricey delicacy is comprised of Wagyu beef, truffle caciocavallo cheese, foie gras and winter truffles.

    The scale was probably lower than yesterday morning, I can not be sure as it has been a few days since I weighed myself. The "Time-restricted eating" combined with a 100% NS plan is working really well so far.

    Good morning.
    Roger, some of that news is disturbing. There is no need for non-military to have semi automatic guns. Who do they think they are defending against? Too many crazy people! It makes me sick to think about it. I sure hope nobody here is a conspiracy theorist/gun nut. Maybe you can stop putting that stuff up here.
    Yes, another gray and dreary day.
    Have a good weekend.
    Hi Vix
    I have no idea who they think they are defending against.
    I'm sorry that bothered You, As I read it that is a fringe church.
    I will try and remember to avoid that sort of thing if it bothers You.

    I would did not mean to bother You, I just thought of it a really weird news.

    good morning, Annie is still sick I have boiled chicken for her hopefully she will keep it down on my way to do some food shopping take care all

    Hi Irene
    I hope Annie feels better quickly.

    Yesterday my Brother baked a whole chicken. I will be using some of it later today.
    What I did was take some of the broth that was in the bottom of the roaster and put some of my brothers left over white rice from Chinese Take Out, three teaspoonfuls using a spoon from the washed silverware. A light shake of salt to taste and I had some tasty Homemade Chicken & Rice Soup.

    Good Luck

    Hi Joanne
    That is another type of food that I have never tried. I would be suspicious it was hot & spicy.

    I'm glad You enjoyed the food.

    I hope the day is good despite our rain.

    Good morning.
    Another rainy day. Stopped at the organic food market yesterday and bought some decaf coffee and roasted buckwheat (hard to find in regular stores).
    Thanks, Roger....usually I just skip things I don't want to read, but occasionally I just have to watch the train wreck. My own fault. Congrats with the weight losss.
    My diet is not going well....just keep trying. Hoping to turn it around soon.
    Jo, so nice to get some girl time. :smile:
    Irene, glad you get to relax a little.

    Good Morning, Well Annie is starting to keep food down she must have a doggie flu she is drinking but she still has diarrhea so if she still has it tomorrow I will be taking her to the vet. She is drinking water which is a good thing. Our weather here is wet hope it stops soon. Take care all

    And more humor once again

    Hi
    I'm back from walking again and no cents. The temperature this morning was 42 on the porch. The fourth day of the four forecast days of rain was the heaviest so far. Today is forecast to be in the 50s and today through Wednesday is predicted to be dry.
    I used the rest of the broth from the Roast Chicken, some more Leftover Rice and some nice slices ot the Chicken as a Dinner Entree, Tasty too.

    The scale was nicely lower than yesterday morning, again, It seems that the "Time-restricted eating" combined with a 100% NS plan is still working well.

    Good Morning Vix
    At least we get three days of no rain. Water process decaff vs Chemical decaffeinate process?

    What do You use roasted buckwheat for ? is there some reason You can not make Your own ?

    Train Wreck is a good word for what is happening these days :(

    I am doing better eating My Dinner by Noon and Lunch at 3:30 and then nothing else until I have a snack before going walking so as to be drinking my coffee on an empty stomach. Most days I am still not hungry by the time I retire for the evening or in the morning when I wake up :smiley:

    Good Luck, I know You can turn it around

    Hi Irene
    That sounds like good news regarding Annie. Hopefully You do not need to visit the Vet.

    The last four days were dreary and wet to say the least. Things are still cloudy with no Sunshine so far and 43 degrees outside, Oh well.

    Cheers

    good morning. so glad it stopped raining it is nice it is going to be dry for a couple of days. Annie is starting to do better so far today she has eaten 2 cans of dog food I just gave her a teaspoon of Pepto-Bismol hopefully it makes her better. I read where to give her a teaspoon for every 20 pounds but I will start out with a little. We did have a nice walk this morning so I got my steps in 11,000 steps in my plans for today is to get the stuff that I have in the basement I am going to give to veterans of America they are coming tomorrow I just need to put the stuff out side so I will be getting in a lot of steps. take care everyone.hey jo

    Hi all.
    Irene, glad Annie is feeling better. Good to give things away to AMVETS.
    Roger, it's organic coffee that's made into decaf. I can't find any buckwheat in my regular grocery stores. I just like the taste of the roasted better, and it costs the same as the raw. I sometimes have it for breakfast (like hot cereal) or with a meal instead of a starch. It's more filling than veggies and more protein than most other grains.
    Hi Jo.
    Went for a massage this a.m. That was nice.
    Have a good evening, everyone. :)

    More Humor is posted, Enjoy

    FWIW Yesterday I used a 1/2 cup of Leftover Chinese Rice, Canned Peas and diced up some leftover Chicken and Fried them together in the Cast Iron with some butter as the oil, Nice and Tasty and this morning the scale was kindly. Today I will use up the rest of the rice, peas and
    chicken as a repeat meal and then back to 100% NS for Wednesday.
    The rice was around 66 calories and the peas around 88 calories Plus the chicken so I counted it as a NS equivalent meal in caloric intake.

    Thus it does seem as if the Restricted time diet is working for me so far.

    Have a Good Day

    Hi Irene
    Agreed, so nice with no Precipitation and there was a clear sky when I left the house which is likely the reason for the overnight temperatures. OTOH it should warm up nicely with no clouds in the sky.

    I have the amount of steps in so far that I consider my target count so all is good that way.

    I would never think of giving Pepto Bismol to a pet, interesting. Is it helping ?

    Congratulations on Your steps and donating.

    Hi Vix
    My brother tends to make a small pan of Steel Cut oats oatmeal for breakfast flavored with Cinnamon and one or more other spices. As long as the cost is the same, why not save the extra work :smiley:

    Silly me, I would think that most coffee was organic ?

    You do get out and about a lot, if it were not for my walking daily I could be considered a sort of stay at home type.

    I am working tonight 9pm to 5 am. We are converting over to the new system tonight and 2 people from each department have to work. I don't mind. I can get a lot done when there are not a lot of people around.

    good morning, hey I found 10 cents today on our walk yay me .I think Annie is starting to feel better the Pepto-Bismol seems to be working . I found out the dogs down the street has the same thing I guess dog flu is going around. Last night it was almost every hour Annie and I were outside but today seems better. I did get my steps in so that is good. Yesterday on our second walk it was so much warmer that I wore a hoodie it was so nice. take care everyone

    Jo, you are tough working all those different shifts. I did that sort of thing when I was younger, but don't think I could handle it now.
    Roger, a lot of things that should be organic are not. Lots of chemicals are used on most produce, and in processing food. I don't really know if all this is doing me any good, but I figure it's worth a try.
    Have a good night, everyone. :)

    Hi Joanne
    Thanks

    The weather forecasts seem to be leaning towards a Nor Easter on Friday :(

    I agree about working at night being easier, OTOH if You are not used to working at night then it could be tiring.
    I did bid on night work on the next to last job and usually had no problem getting it. As I was a driver on that job it made driving around on my routes easier as well as the commute.

    Have a Good Day

    Hi Irene
    I'm glad that Annie is feeling better, I wonder if Annie caught it from the dog down the street or the other way around.

    I wore a hoodie and a thermal yesterday and today.

    Hi
    I'm back from walking again and no cents. The temperature this morning was 31 on the porch. Today is forecast to be in the high 50s possibly 60 today is predicted to be dry with rain arriving later in the day on Thursday and heavy Friday.

    I had two of the Turkey and Stuffing Shelf Stable meals that came in the Holiday pack and I had one of them Yesterday as my Lunch. It was free as I would not have ordered it. I will admit it was tastier than I had remembered from when I originally tried it, And they get some crunch into the stuffing, likely from Celery. The Turkey was as bland as I had remembered it as it is a shaped and formed turkey loaf, However with the Gravy it was OK.

    I would Bet a lot of money that I am remembering correctly about the Chicken and BBQ Beans :( It is now 230 calories, in a different tray with a different gravy for the chicken whereas in the past the Chicken picked up a nice flavor from the beans and the chicken is much smaller and I believe the beans are fewer too. As I remember it in the past the Calorie count for it was 290 but it was tasty. Now I am sorry I still have some in the cupboard after having the first of the resized one the other day. Drat !

    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.

    Even with that it was tough the the first week or so after the change.

    Hi all, Annie went to the vet to get her nails trimmed so he gave her a physical all is good her themp was normal so what ever she had it is gone the vet did tell me it wasn't the doggie flu he thought she might of went in water that had something in it but she wasn't near any water last week what ever my pup is feeling better that is all I care about. Well I am in Trenton and got some more work done I got my oven cleaned and some of my kitchen cabinets empty so now I need to clean them and polish the outside. Jo I remembered when I was working at Target and we were remolding I pulled 2 weeks of all nights glad those days are done. Yesterday I actually raked up some leaves I think I am starting to get spring fever can't wait until I can start planting flowers and stuff. Our weather for tomorrow is rain in the afternoon so Annie and I will have to go for an early walk(that's besides our walk in the morning)We did find a penny today on our walk well take care all

    Irene-I am glad Annie is better and congrats on your money findings.

    Hi Vix.
    The conversion at work is done for the most part. Tomorrow I will have some training on the new ordering system and how to make tags and signs. I will be glad when things at work get back to normal.
