    Hi
    I have not gone out walking yet, That comes in a little while when it has warmed up some and the Bank is open. Temps in the 30s right now hence the wait for warm Sunlight today. Three stops planned, Coffee, Bank, Pharmacy for some Vitamins, In that order too.

    Have a Nice Day

    I didn't make it for the oil change today, but will go in the next few days. It's been 5 months...that's pretty good for me, used to be about every three months. I got my car when it was new...2002, it now has over 197,000 miles on it! I drove it to work for 11 years, 50-60 miles /day round trip, plus we always took my car on long trips (like to Long Island which is close to 300 miles one way), until the last few years when we've been renting vans for that trip (that way all 6 of us can fit comfortably). Roger, it's nice not having to drive that much. :)
    Irene, best wishes with your new phone. :)
    Jo, I have not even started to think about Christmas! Although all the churches are starting to have their Christmas Craft fairs. I'm sure we will keep it simple again this year. :) Just starting to plan for Thanksgiving. :) Also need to figure out what to do for my birthday and our anniversary, both the first week of December. It's a big anniversary....40 years! Yikes! haha.
    The shower was fun today...saw my daughter's in-laws, the new mom to be is very sweet. It was a joyful party. :)
    Anyway, have a good night, everyone. :)

    Hi Vix
    It sounds as if You had a nice day. My Last car got hit twice at work and this one already has been scratched at the Supermarket. Of course no one ever leaves a note or searches for the owner :(

    I Already know most of the Thanksgiving Day Menu. We Earned the free Turkey already and since My Brother is a traditionalist, All the fixings. I'll be working with the Menu choices I posted in a new Message Thread.

    40 Year Anniversary is nothing to sneeze at, Congratulations

    good morning, love my new phone it has my life on it. I even have pictures of Annie on it. My new phone actually has an app that I don't need to carry my credit cards which is pretty cool I not sure if I will use it or not, my phone is always with me so I not to worry about some one stealling it but I also lock my phone.Well need to go to work leaving early because noe amazon is only letting us in 1 way so the traffic is really bad take care
    Hi Irene
    I see them plugging that feature on the TV and it is one I would would not feel safe with, Nor would I feel safe with the one where You only need to wave You Credit Card by the terminal to pay. Add in the Limited places to use such an App and no Thanks.

    Good Move Locking the Phone

    Good morning;
    Irene-have a good day at work.
    Vix-I don't think I have ever put that many miles on a car. I go to my sister's house for thanksgiving. All I have to make is an apple pie and a lemon meringue pie. In September it was 40 years for me also.
    Roger-good luck on your walk today.
    No work today for me. Laundry and a little cleaning around the house. Hubby is off also, so maybe he will take me out to lunch. ;)
    Enjoy your day. :)

    Hi Joanne
    Nice for You being off today.
    Belated Happy Anniversary to You

    Tine to get going now...

    Frosty out this morning, Roger! Bundle up. :)

    Hi Again

    Here is my amended Walk info FWIW.
    I got out walking, and Picked up a nice Birthday card for my brother and a Bottle of Oban Single Malt. I figure he is so helpful and supportive what the heck, he deserves a nice gift. He got me a Kenkel Hardshell Nutcracker

    Designed to crack the toughest black walnuts, the Kenkel Hardshell Nutcracker, effortlessly cracks all types of hardshell nuts.
    http://www.kenkelnutcracker.com/
    He heard me saying I was having trouble finding the right hit on them with a Hammer and was mashing the nut meats or spraying the pieces all over.

    Have a Great Start of the Week

    Good morning.
    Raining here too.
    I have clay class today, and may stop in some of the stores up there to look for a coat. There's a Marshall's and I have a $10 coupon for Kohl's.
    Need to get the diet back on track too....I've been snacking and it shows!
    Have a happy day, everyone. :)

    Hi
    I did a shortened walk today, weather not that nice. OTOH I went back out walking Yesterday and Between Yesterday and Today I am currently at 25K Steps. Since My Daily Step Goal is 10K and today is not nearly finished I am well over that :)

    During the Morning Walk Yesterday I stopped at a CVS and checked prices :( $67 at CVS, Vs $35 for the same item and Quantity at the Local Non Chain Drug Store where I walked to in the Afternoon. Quite a Significant difference. Boo to CVS :)

    Bottom Line do not be afraid to check pricing, The Large chain may not be Your best price. Costco later this week and I'll be looking at their prices too.

    It is most likely the last day for Apples on my walk. Tree is pretty bare and the Drops I have been harvesting were not looking that good. I picked up 4 and I figure I may get the equivalent of two Apples out of them when done prepping them.

    Have a Nice Tuesday

    Hi Irene
    It had rained before I got out the door but was not when I left the house, I did have a folding umbrella in my back pocket just in case. It did drizzle on me but I decided not to use the umbrella and sure enough it went away again. Currently it looks like a light rain outside the bedroom window.

    Have a Good day at work

    Hi Again
    It looks like a off and on rain next three days. Weatherman said 70% chance for today and Thursday. 20% chance for Wednesday. So far today as I see it 100% since it is raining now.

    Every time I drift off plan Mr. Scale tells me so. By Off plan I mean On Plan plus some light extras or bad alternatives such as a Egg Roll for a Vegetable serving :)

    Good Luck Shopping

    Good afternoon;
    Roger-that is a cool nutcracker. It hasn't started to rain here yet, but it is very overcast.
    Irene-I don't mind walking in the rain, as long as I am dressed for it.
    Vix-good luck coat shopping. I too have been snacking a little to much. So far today, I have been sticking to plan.
    I always start off good,but seem to get derailed after dinner. I have been thinking of upgrading to the frozen. I think I am getting tired of the shelf stable and NS seems to be discontinuing a lot of the shelf stable. The choices keep dwindling.
    Have a great evening. :)

    It's been raining all day.
    I found a dress coat (black, simple straight lines), but will still be looking around for an everyday coat.
    I need to revise my eating plan a bit....I've been leaving more calories for the evening and then going over. I think I did better when I spaced my food out and had more earlier in the day. Then I didn't feel so needy at night! : :#
    Every day I get to try again. :)
    Have a good night everyone.

    Have a Good Holiday

    Hi Joanne
    It works better than smashing them with a hammer too :)

    I am not sure if they are discontinuing so much as it looks that way due to the repackaging the entire line of foods. FWIW I was not that impressed by the new packaging.

    I started off NS with a 10 day frozen plan just be ensure as much variety as possible. Especially with the Lunch selections. FWIW Some of the frozen foods are better or more convenient. The Frozen Cinnamon Roll is larger and lighter and much better tasting then the Shelf Stable Cinnamon Bun. The Frozen Pancakes are quicker, I just pop them in the toaster and done. OTOH the Pancake mix is much more flexible in terms of what You can do to it with Fruits in it or flavorings such as Maple or Vanilla Extract and Sweetener. With the Sweetener And flavorings I do not feel the need for syrup. BTW You can also chop up a couple of the NutriChocolates and have Chocolate bits in Your Pancakes if You use the Mix.

    Cheers

    Hi Vix
    I sometimes swap my Lunches and Dinners too. I still eat something 6 or 7 times a day, 6 times a day and a banana before my morning walk :) I keep it around 1700 calories a day using NS foods.

    Hi Irene
    I have been feeling a bit tired lately too. I'm not sure why. I ended up buying a freezer for the basement rather than working to get everything into the freezer section. Having the extra freezer means we can take advantage of Sales on meats too. Currently beyond the NS Frozen there are two Corned beef from St Patty's day sales, a Bargain priced Turkey, a Entire Pork Loin that was on sale really cheap per pound. We had two of those but my brother tuned the other one into Breakfast Sausage patties and Italian Sausage and some Center cut Boneless Pork Chops and a Pork Loin Roast. A couple of pounds of butter from the last good sale on butter etc.

    When You look at it you can get a 3+ cubic foot freezer for $200 so why not, I ended up having a 8.8 Cu. Ft. delivered.

    Have a nice day at work

    Vix-you can't go wrong with a black coat.
    Roger-I haven't decided yet if I will switch. I have an order coming tomorrow, so I have a few weeks to decide.
    I am off in a few minutes to get my hair colored and cut.

    Turned into a beautiful day here. We went for a walk in the park this afternoon. I took my jacket off for a little while when we were in the sun. :)

    Good morning;
    We are still having rain off and on.
    The contractor is back from vacation and the rest of the siding was delivered yesterday. It shouldn't be long now and my house will be finished.
    I got this email from nutrisystem yesterday;
    We wanted to let you know that we recently made some modifications to our plan configurations to streamline the number of packages offered. We are contacting only those customers that will be upgraded.

    As a result of this process, the plan you are on, Dinner My Way RTG Wom Cus, will be switched to our most current version, the Womens Dinners My Way Cus. When we make this change to your plan, it will not affect the timing of your next scheduled delivery. We will keep this date intact to ensure it is aligned to your needs. This change will occur by the time your next scheduled auto delivery is going to process on 12/7/2015.

    Through this upgrade, you will have an expanded menu of meals to choose from and best of all, you will still enjoy the same pricing you had been paying. The only thing we need you to do is customize your next order by 6:00pm EST the day before your auto delivery order is scheduled to process on 12/7/2015.

    If you have any questions or need to make any adjustments to your shipment, please visit us at Nutrisystem.com to access your account or you can contact our Customer Service team for assistance.

    It states that I will have an expanded menu of meals to choose from, so far I don't see any thing different on the menu.
    They did up the price and then gave me a 40% discount, so I am still paying the same.
    Enjoy your day. :)

    Jo, sounds like NS has really raised the prices, yikes. Glad your house updates are almost done. You must be so happy with all of the changes!
    Irene, glad your OT hasn't started yet and you get to enjoy your nice long weekends. :)
    Hi Roger. :)
    It's totally gray out this morning, expect rain any time now.
    I am way off track with my diet...something went seriously kerflooey, the scale is creeping upwards...I am not happy about my creepy scale. Will definitely try to get a handle on it today!
    Think healthy!

    Hi
    Walked today + 10 Cents less than a block from home on the way back :) Temperature was OK, One Sweatshirt & no gloves weather today. The rain stayed away until a while after I arrived home too.

    My order ship date was the 9th and the BBB arrived Wednesday the 11th & I just finished Checking in the BWB and putting it into the basement freezer today, the 12th. That is the fastest times in a while. I suspect after the Holidays, especially New Years they may have some longer delays due to New Years Resolutions to lose weight.

    Have a Nice Wednesday

    Hi Joanne
    In the latest order I had one Substitution between the Shelf Stable and the Frozen. They subbed Sweet & Sour Chicken for the Chicken Primavera :( I like the S&S chicken but did not need that many of them as I had ordered some of them and some of the other.

    Hi, NS friends!

    I just wanted to share some exciting news (well, exciting to me, anyway). No, not an NSV or a scale victory either.

    We are reviving the NS Biggest Loser Challenge series that had been so popular on the NS boards until the company locked us all out.

    This will be a kinder, gentler version of the challenge. Lots of support, motivation, inspiration, and empathy.

    The price is right - free. And we offer a "double your money back" guarantee. If, at the end of the challenge you don't feel like you got your money's worth, we'll give you back double!

    The folks at the "Losing It After 50" discussion board have been kind enough to invite us to use their community as our "home gym." The challenge IS NOT restricted to NSers over 50, but we do have our share of "half-a-hunnerts" signed up already.

    We're launching the challenge on Monday, Nov. 16, and we'll end the first round just before the New Years. So this is a great way to sandbag some support before the holiday temptations begin. Then we'll launch a "New Years Resolution" BL that will run for the first 8 or 10 weeks of the New Year.

    This is our sign-up thread: (you will need to sign up. Use your NS screen name or any name you want. You can remain pretty anonymous, but we'll want a first name once the challenge starts, so we can get to know everybody ...)

    Hi
    I was out Walking today, Weather is nice except for a bit of wind, No Gloves needed and only a Sweatshirt for the walk. Then I Hit the Recycle Center on the way to Costco @ $163, large economy sizes of Vitamins and Minerals. Then Two bags of Frozen Vegetables, two 10 packs of Kleenex @ $17.69 = Large Kleenex @ $1.79 per. 18 Pack of Greek Yogurt, Plastic Bubble pack of Honey Crisp Apples Clementines and 32 AAA Batteries, Charmin (Please Don't Squeeze the Charmin :) ) Then Stopped for a Decaf for me and a regular Black Coffee for my Brother and $18 to fill the tank on the car. That'll hold me for a more than a month.

    Happy Friday the 13th unless You have Triskaidekaphobia :)

    I do not know if I am interested TBH, I do not recall ever looking at it on the old forums.
    How does it work?

    Zumba, That is where everybody sits there chanting Zumba while meditating :)
    Just kidding.

    Except for the wind, what a beautiful day outside, I was driving with the window open and the radio blasting oldies from WOLD in Woodbridge, NJ.

    Congratulations on taming that scale

    Enjoy the exercise

    Hi Irene
    Did You get out walking today? I took something along to use as a windbreaker but decided I did not need it as the wind was intermittent.

    Have a Great Day

    It is beautiful outside, but windy. May go for a walk later. I need to avoid going uphill too much.
    As to the challenges...I stay away from them because I don't do well comparing myself to others...I challenge myself all the time.
    Zumba is always fun. :)

    Good afternoon;
    Irene-your day sounds like fun.
    Pirates43-thanks for the invite, but I don't think I will join at this time.
    Vix-I am glad your scale has stopped screaming.
    The house is progressing slowly. I don't think he will be done by thanksgiving. Good thing I am not hosting thanksgiving dinner.
    We had a little sun and now are having intermittent rain showers.
    My scale is finally moving in the right direction.
    Roger-We used to go to BJ's when the kids were home. Now we just pick up what we need at the grocery store.
    With just the two of us we don't use that much any more.
    Tomorrow we are having a holiday open house at work. It will be super busy. The store will be sampling food from all departments.
    Enjoy your evening. :)

    Good morning.
    Jo, hopefully they'll surprise you and get it done quickly. :) Congrats on the scale moving in the right direction...mine is still bouncing. I've been letting it get away from me, but ready to get back to basics. I hope it's not too crazy for you at work today.
    My new cleaning service will be coming next Tuesday...I've decided to try once a month and see how that goes.
    I think it will be fairly easy to do maintenance cleaning in between. :)
    We're going to see friends tonight, the guys play cards, we just gab and catch up. :)
    Tomorrow our kids are taking us to a football game. I've never been to a professional game before. Our team isn't doing so great this year, but I'm sure we'll have a great day with our family. :)
    Prayers for the world after the attacks in Paris last night. Peace would be the greatest blessing.
    Wishing everyone a good day.

    Hi
    I went walking today, Breezy and not very warm in the Mid 40s. I got hit with some light rain on the way to the post office. It Cleared up right after that and the Sun came out. I was over 10K steps by the time I got home.

    I Picked up a 2016 Calendar while I was out so I'm good for the upcoming year that way.

    Have a Good Weekend

    Stay Warm

    Hi Joanne
    The Two BJs around me that I looked into both seemed dingy and not brightly lit, especially compared to Costco.
    They keep sending free trial memberships in the mail, The last one this week for 120 days. I may try once again, The price is good :)

    I gather some people love food samplings and use it to avoid buying a meal.

    Good Luck wit the house

    Hi Vix
    Don't feel too bad regarding the scale. Mine has been bouncing this week to, So far 1/2 pound down since Sunday Morning :( At least it isn't a gain for the week.

    I suspect until Isis is cleaned out there will be no peace in the world. They are a cancerous infection on the people of the world.

    Cheers

    Hi Irene
    Congratulations on that loss. It could indeed be the extra steps.

    I hope the wind has died down for You. It was taking extra effort to walk into it on the way back home.

    Cheers

    I went for a walk in the park today too...I just tried to find flatter ground...walked by the lake, but had to go down a hill and back up to get there. Walked about 50 minutes at a leisurely pace, not too bad.
    Looking forward to seeing friends tonight and the football game tomorrow.
    Have a good night, everyone.
