hi all we had a nice walk we went a different way we walked by the lake it was so pretty the geese were in the water and of course Annie was chasing a stick George threw . Annie's leg is still healing it just isn't as strong as the other one but it is getting stronger just taking time. No plans for today maybe another walk later. So I decided that I am not even going to worry about the food I eat I will be going back Wednesday so I plan on just enjoying my holiday .Take care everyone0

Hi
I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 28 degrees and the walking was OK. On the Outbound leg the nose told me that there was a Skunk somewhere nearby.
I saw the first Christmas Tree at the curb while walking, Likely the first of many. As I was 1 block from the house on the return leg I saw 5 Deer Trotting across the road slightly ahead of where I was.

Hi VixGood morning.
Roger, the dentist didn't give me any antibiotics, but I was still taking the antibiotics from the cold until yesterday morning. He just told me to take ibuprofen to keep any pain and swelling down. They did tell me not to chew on that side because it's a temp filling.
Forecast is for partly cloudy with a high of 47.
Need to do some cleaning, shopping and party prep today.
Hi Jo and Irene.
Happy Sunday, everyone.
I think that the Antibiotics You were taking may have helped avoid a infection, I could also be wrong.
Ibuprofen can rough on the stomach if used to long. actually any NSAID can cause stomach problems, Don't ask how I know
I have a suspicion that Delicatessens and the the Grocery store Deli departments will be selling a lot of food trays for New Years Eve Parties. Kudos for those that do their own rather than buying premade trays of food.
The forecast for The Times Square NYE event is rain and temps in the 40s.

Annies leg should get stronger with the walking. The main problem when walking by our little lake is the deposits the Geese leave on the path making a person look like they are drunk as they walk around those little goose gifts
We have Geese and Ducks in ours and I maybe beaver. I know a nearby town where beaver kept building a dam and causing road flooding.
That's the plan here. Today and tomorrows food
Then Back on the 100% NS plan as a informal New Years Resolution.
Have a Happy & Healthy upcoming New Year.

Hi Joanne0 -
good morning, we haven't walked yet just taking it easy we will go but just enjoying the last morning of this year. We watched the movie bird box it was really good not sure if you would like it but we did. Well take care everyone and have a Happy New year0

Good morning.
Irene, I'm doing the same...will get back on track after tonight.
Roger, I am very careful with NSAIDS (my mother had severe issues from taking them).
I usually make most of my party food...I am very careful with ingredients...lots of the premade food contains products we need to avoid. It was crazy shopping yesterday trying to find packaged goods that didn't have msg or modified food starch or canola oil.
Hi Jo!
Raining here...probably all day and into tomorrow.
I have a massage appt this morning, then will be doing things to be ready for the party tonight.

Happy New Years Eve!
Starting tomorrow it is back on track. Our Gym is open tomorrow, so we will go early in the morning.
I am cooking a spiral ham for our NYE. I bought the smallest one they had as it is only the 2 of us eating it.
Roger-if you don't mind would you list out the meal plan for men for a day? My hubby doesn't want to do NS, but wants to try and eat healthy.
Vix-enjoy your party tonight. Is Hubby feeling any better?
Irene-I am glad Annie is doing better.

To be honest about it if You took a day off from walking once a month for example would that be so bad ?
Since I do not watch movie advertisements on the TV having come to the conclusion that they show parts that they believe will tempt someone to watch them and quite often out of order too I tend to ignore movies. The One You just watched is an example of that, I have no idea what the Bird Box movie is about, Could I impose on You for a really brief description ? If not it is no biggie.
I need to do a final adjustment on my NS order since I am way over with Frozen Lunch melts and will be done with Frozen Breakfasts and Dinners when that happens I am thinking of switching the lunch order from Frozen things to Non refrigerated foods with three exceptions I tried the Egg White Spinach Crepe and liked it and will order some Hamburgers and the grilled Chicken sandwiches that I like as they can be configured to many tastes. That Needs to be done by the 14th. My taste buds are in overtime to try the new Dinner Entrees
Have a Good Holiday Day

I like that Peanuts Image, Thanks
I also had severe issues with taking to many NSAIDs for the pain hence my warning
I am not surprised You had trouble trying to find foods without those ingredients. It is my opinion that many ingredients are chosen not for their health benefits but for the lower cost and for their effect on the buyer where they make You crave more of the food. I did think Canola Oil was supposed to be better for You than many oils excluding Olive Oil ?
BTW the only way I can read most of the ingredients in foods is with the aid of a powerful Magnifying Glass due to the small font chosen, Likely by design.
The rain did end overnight before I went out the door so it could have been worse IMO.
I hope Your Party was a Huge Success

For me Back on track starts Wednesday after today's New Years Main meal.
Just Curious what size the smallest one they had is. I never remember to look the few time I go to the Grocery Store, I tend to steer clear of that pit of temptation.
Here is what my plan is, I think the main difference between the Womens and the Mens is the Extra Snack ?
The 1800 Calorie NS Mens Plan is as follows
BREAKFAST
PowerFuel _________________________________________________
SmartCarb ________________________________________________
SNACK
PowerFuel _________________________________________________
SmartCarb ________________________________________________
LUNCH
Nutrisystem® entrée _________________________________________
PowerFuel _________________________________________________
SmartCarb ________________________________________________
SNACK
Nutrisystem® dessert ________________________________________
DINNER
Nutrisystem® entrée _________________________________________
PowerFuel _________________________________________________
SmartCarb ________________________________________________
DESSERT
Nutrisystem® dessert ________________________________________
And Four Servings of Vegetables
Every day, you’ll eat three meals, one snack, and two
desserts.
Together they provide:
1,800 calories each day to keep you satisfi ed
The nutrients you need to keep the muscle while you lose the fat
Enough energy to stay active
It all adds up to help you
drop 1-2 pounds per week
while avoiding hunger, cravings, and cheating.
You can find the Grocery List linked at the bottom of the NS pages.
Have a Good New Years Day

Happy New Year!
Roger-thank you for the men's meal plan.
Hi Vix and Irene.
We were the first ones at the gym. Starting the new year off right, with exercise and eating right.
I did not make it to midnight. I think I fell asleep around 9.
It is in the 50's here and windy.
Have a great day!

It was nice hanging out with friends last night, (but my body is definitely not happy with the effects of party food and wine!)
WTG on the exercise and eating plan, Jo!
Enjoy your New Year's Day celebration, Roger.
Glad you were relaxing on the last day of the year, Irene.
Hoping for a kinder, gentler year for the world, and looking forward to all the new, happy things happening in my life.
Wishing you all a happy, healthy new year.

Both my brother and I had problems with sleep New Years Eve due to the Snack foods that we overindulged with. I ate less than my Brother as I skipped 4 of each of the spicy ones and he did not so I ended up eating 17 vs his 25 snacks. Neither of slept good nor was the scale kind to us either.
Yesterdays New Years Meal was Some Ham, Some Turkey Breast and some home made stuffing AKA Dressing. The Turkey and Stuffing has Home made Turkey Gravy on them. All were leftovers from the freezer. I did not weigh and just winged it, Oops. I would likely have been OK if I had not eaten the Mini Panettone at 350 Calories, The worst of that was the High Carb Count
I am feeling it today, Now I need to be good stay on track with the right foods.
Thank You, I hope For all of us to have a Happy and Healthy upcoming Year too

We seem to be having weird weather here in NJ, Cold and Above normal warmth. I have to look out the window and at the porch temperature to decide what to wear.
This morning I wore a Sweatshirt and a Hoodie whereas Yesterday I wore a thin Long sleeve shirt and something to break the wind and was fine for example.
Eating Breakfast out is tough, You can make some smart choices, Eggs and Meat and try for a fruit bowl instead of Home Fries for example. Toast is the hard one to sub for.
I also decided not to worry about my Diet New Years Eve and New Years Day. Thankfully no Holidays in the near future that involve food before a Easter Ham Dinner.
Have a Good Day

Hi all.
Went to work on clay today. It cooled down and got cloudy in the afternoon. Very dark and overcast now.
Hubby's doing better now. Cold is finally easing up.
I was so exhausted yesterday, I didn't do anything. Fell asleep reading in a recliner chair. I never do that!
Anyway, seem to have a little more energy today.
Hope everyone is enjoying 2019 so far! 0 -
Good morning;
Yesterday was my first day back at work. I was a little achy last night.
Today is my late day 10-6pm. I hope I can make it.

Hi
I'm back home from walking and once again no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 38 degrees and the walking was good. The chance of snow showers or rain showers overnight may have happened, The ground was damp and the cars had water spots on them, beyond that it was dry enough. From last nights 10PM weather forecast it appears that the Snow will be North and west and the rain south of here, so far so good :

Despite the 38 degrees out the door this morning I was feeling warm and lest the Hoodie open while walking. I suspect it is due to the starches from the Omelet I had as a late Lunch or early Dinner, To many Carbs do that to me
Better Dark and overcast than wind blown rain
I wish I could sleep anywhere except laying horizontal in bed, No sleep in a chair, Car, Bus, Plane or with a radio/TV or lights on no matter how tired I am. This morning I reclined for a little while listening to a audiobook before coming in here.
More Energy, Whee, It could be related to the New Years food, I know it is (was) in my case.

Roger,luckily, my retirement planning worked out pretty well. I generally pay my credit card bills in full, and have budgeted out for my other bills, so am in good shape there. And I don't mind doing laundry...I find it kind of relaxing.

good morning, Poor Annie is really sick , she has pneumonia . She started to get sick Wednesday night she was having a problem breathing so we took her to er but by the time we took her she was ok. But we got home and a couple hours later . I was up all night with her we went to our vet yesterday they took an xray it showed she had either fliud or tumor so we then had an ultra sound done and it showed pneumonia. so now she is on meds she also got a shot so she won't get dehydrated . I did take her out for a little walk which seemed to help her. We take her back in 2 weeks then she will get another xray we may need to take her to cardiologist hopefully we won't have to. take care everyone0
