Good morning.
Thanks, Roger. I didn't realize Jammin Jamaican was flavored! I just thought it was Jamaican coffee. That explains it!
Irene, we had freezing rain yesterday too, but the driveway and sidewalks are clear this morning. It's 33 here with a high of 37 expected, and the sun is shining. I don't think I could jog either.
Hi Jo, hope you're staying warm.
I need to go to the grocery store today, and have an appt for acupuncture this afternoon.
Trying to decide whether I will try to walk in the park or stay home and go on the eliptical.
Happy Wednesday, everyone

good morning, roger I think the fry foo. .d from the air fryer is lower because you don't need oil to cook it ,it uses hot air to cook it.my knee is pretty good I just can't knell on it or run but other wise it is fine. today I walked an hour and then did 27 minutes on the treadmill. we never got any snow and with it being so warm outside it is like 36 we never got much of anything and the ice just melted. take care everyone0

Irene...thanks for the reminder. Yes, the air fryer is good because you don't need much oil. Also the food I cook in the instant pot is good and healthy. It's just that I have to watch my portion sizes!0

Hi
I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 33 degrees. However I suspect that may not have been accurate as the snow I tested was crunchy. Before I forget, Yesterday I could see Deer tracks in the snow going across the front yard and today I could see them in the left over snow in a Playground I passed while walking.
There were also a couple of Snow Flurries yesterday afternoon.
Yesterday my brother did his usual Wednesday Shopping. He brought home the on Sale Ham, and two of the on sale Jimmy Dean Bacon. One for each of us, in the next few days I will bake the bacon off to be portioned into some frozen and some to be used, I do feel a BLT on Rye in my future. The Ham will be going into the freezer since we just defrosted a Corned Beef and he wants to defrost and slice up the Homemade Pastrami that is in the freezer, that way we can set up the slicer and do both at the same time and portion them out to be frozen after being Vacuum Sealed. That will save one setup and cleaning of the slicer.

TBH I did not realize that either until You got my curiosity piqued. I am so glad I had not made up my mind to try it since it was fresh brewed and available at the Quick Chek.
Yesterday when I returned from walking I pushed the snow off of the car onto the passenger side of the driveway and when my brother left I cleared the snow around where he had been parked, backed up the car and then cleared it from around where I had been parked since that area stays shaded much of the day, A wet heavy pain in the neck snow to shovel too. The Driveway is now nice and dry except for some of it by the street that did not get shoveled.
I let my brother do the grocery store run Yesterday, I call that avoiding temptation. We swapped runs, I did the banking for both of us and he did the shopping for both of us.
That is a good question, I suppose the park would have been OK if You have waterproof footwear ? The roads and such were OK here by 9AM. When I was out walking the sidewalks were not so go so I walked in the roads facing any traffic. The Sidewalks had not been shoveled in many places and those areas had chunks of Icy Snow thrown onto them by the Plows
That is the problem with being a good cook, the foods taste so Good and tempt You to overeat.Irene...thanks for the reminder. Yes, the air fryer is good because you don't need much oil. Also the food I cook in the instant pot is good and healthy. It's just that I have to watch my portion sizes!

I agree, I just do not have counter space or cabinet space for a Hot Air Fryer or Insta Pot unless I threw out some other cooking gadget.
I hear You about kneeling, If I have to kneel my knee lets me know it does not like doing that and it not nearly as easy getting back up as it was when I was younger. I never run these days.
Lucky You, No Snow and it melted off quickly
Have a Nice Day

good morning, happy valentines day ! I have a pretty busy day today I go back to the DRS to get the results of the x rays of my shoulder all I know is that it hurts. I got my walk in plus 27 minutes on the treadmill my steps so far today is10,164 so I am doing pretty good I also have to go visit a friend she is in the hospital but after that I should have the rest of the day off. Jo I am sure you will be busy today at work. take care everyone0
-
Irene, I hope the Dr visit helps and he gives you some good advice.
Roger, I opted to not walk in the forest/park. Not so concerned about the wetness because my hiking boots are great, but don't want to aggravate my leg and foot/ankle. I've been using my eliptical and old PT exercises.
Hi Jo, hope you're not working too hard....chocolate strawberries?
Went to painting class today, didn't get anything done, but figured out what I wanted to paint next and watched a video about Renoir.
Happy Wednesday, everyone.

Good Luck with the Doctor Visit for the shoulder, I wonder if the walking is hurting with that, I know my arms are swinging when I walk.
Congratulations on the step count. So far I am a little past the 3 mile mark according to my little FitBit.
I hope the visit was good, I find that Hospitals themselves make me feel sad whenever I have had to go visit.

good morning, well the x ray didn't show much I need to go for an MRI and some blood work. She did give me some pain meds not sure if I will take them or not. Yesterday Annie and I found 50 cents on our afternoon walk. not too much going on today just grocery shopping . Roger my little friend is pretty lonely so I didn't mind visiting her and I brought her flowers so that brighten up her day and I also gave her communion that helped her. Vix good idea to take it easy it is not worth hurting your foot. hey jo how are you doing?0

Good morning.
Irene...you may want them to check out your neck. I have shoulder pain sometimes, turns out it comes from my neck! Nice to find 50 cents. And sweet of you to visit your friend in the hospital.
Roger, yes, I'm going to skip the park for another week or so. I feel like I'm starting to heal, but it's still tentative. Nice to find 10 cents. Good that you keep walking.
Hi Jo!
Going to drop off hubby's car for an oil change later this morning, and run some errands in town. Have a chiropractor appt in the afternoon, then will go out to dinner to celebrate Valentine's day.

Good morning;
Busy this week at work and home with Valentine's day and Dr. appts. My Derm apt. was good, nothing found. I also had a physical yesterday. My Dr. was pleased with my weight loss and also took me off the BP meds. I have to go Monday for fasting blood work.
Irene and Roger-congrats on finding money. I haven't found any in a few months.
Irene-good luck with the MRI.
Vix-I spent most of my work day on Thursday dipping Strawberry or wrapping flowers. It was very busy.
Roger=I am not sure of the amount of snow we got, but it was very heavy and enough that I had to shovel. That was my exercise for the day. Yesterday it rained most of the day and most of the snow is gone.
Today my daughter and I are going to Ice Castles New Hampshire. It is about a 2-3 hour drive, but should be fun. Hubby doesn't like the cold, so opted not to go.
Have a great day! 0 -

MRI, oh well, that may get to the bottom of the problem. Good Luck with it.

That is a good point, sometimes the pain is not originating where You feel it.
Sweet, That is a good way to put it.
The Oil Change, Dealer, Jiffy Lube type place or a Local Garage. They can all work as Long as You keep the receipt in case it is needed for warranty work on the engine.
I hope the other things, Chiro and Dinner were good.
Better safe than sorry as far as walking in the park.

Congratulations on two good doctor appointments results. Losing weight can be beneficial for BP so I am not that surprised TBH but still better not to be taking medications if possible.
Good Luck with the Fasting Blood Sugar, A1C level a part of it ?
I had a feeling You would be busy Thursday
Our last snow was also wet and heavy
Ice Castles would be an event is my guess ?
Cheers

Hi all.
I looked up Ice Castles...looks really cool. (punny) Have fun. Congrats on your weight loss and medical results.
Roger, we mostly go to a local dealer who has pretty good deals on oil changes. I don't trust Jiffy Lube any more. The chiro told me that my ankle problem sounds like a sprain and to put ice on it. So I've been doing that.
Our Valentine's dinner was really nice. I had maple glazed salmon with shrimp, brussels sprouts, and red potatoes. Hubby had rockfish with crab imperial, green beans,and red potatoes. We got a seat next to a fireplace which was cozy.
Irene, fun to find money on your walks. Good luck with the medical issues.
I'm off to a small art show in the park.

I'm off to a small art show in the park.
Happy Saturday, everyone.
We have been going local for many years, I got disgusted with Jiffy Lube many years ago when they kept trying to sell me high profit easy to do items. As an example I had changed the Air filter a couple of months previously and they brought in the filter to tell it was dirty and needed changing. I know from experience that they look dirty after around a week of regular use. A really dirty air filter when tapped will release dust then it is time to clean the housing and change the filter.
Same sort of Problem with Midas Muffler shops. Yes they will keep replacing the muffler for free even while pushing new exhaust pipes. Not to mention that the pipes are not free and neither the pipes or mufflers they use hold up. I was having to have them replace the muffler yearly. When I had the local Guy change them being fed up with going there yearly his lasted a decent amount of time.
I hope the Ice is helping and that if it is a sprain You can keep off of it.
Your Valentines dinner sounds tasty, I understand that Red Potatoes are better for You than White Potatoes.
That is nice that You can go to a art show close to home.
Have a Nice Day

I am guessing that when You say rough trails You mean uneven ground ? That would put a strain on the ankle.
I am still in the avoid the doctor mode
I had a bad day diet wise Sunday and Today I am having cravings as a result. Motivation was lacking here Sunday
They claim that a mattress and pillows should be changed even if they seem OK periodically, I am not sure I agree.
Have You noticed that the newer mattresses only have one sleeping side vs the older ones where You could flip them end for end and turn them over to get a longer life for the mattress ?
Is there any need to move the Guestroom to the ground floor, Maybe to get guests further away at night ?
Good Luck with the planning

Wow, 2 hours is longer than I want to do in any one walk. Congratulations on that.
The last pennies I found were pretty corroded that I almost missed them and likely would have if not for the shape. One side is worse than the other, Likely the top side or maybe the bottom where they were sitting on wet ground, I'm not sure.
If You got out riding, I am sure You had fun
