    hi all I had a busy morning I got my walk in and 35 minutes on the treadmill . I am thinking about taking Annie for another walk. Roger my ns normally comes the next day. take care everyone. vix I hope you are starting to feel better
    Hi Irene
    Congratulations on walking and Tread-milling, I would do one or the other being a little lazy.

    I wonder why my NS comes the same day as the call and Your comes a day later, I am sure they both come out of the Pennsylvania Warehouse.

    Have a Good Day
    Roger

    Good afternoon;
    Vix-I hope the vitamin C helps.
    Irene-congrats on finding money.
    Hi Roger.
    When I came home from work today my street was blocked off and the gas company was at one end of the street. I went around the block and was able to get onto my street from the other end. I still don't know what they were doing.
    I lost another lb. My total since starting back on NS is 13.2 lbs lost. It is slow going, but I don't mind as long as the lbs. keep coming off.
    Have a great evening. :)
    Hi Joanne
    The gas company is likely either a service change or they detected a gas leak in the gas main or a home that needed the street to be closed. As long as nothing blows up and You could get home no biggy.

    Hmm.. I wonder if it related to being proactive after all those houses blew up ?

    The way I look at it anything in the one to two pound range lost is good.

    Congratulations on the loss.

    Good morning.
    Raining here, started last night, supposed to rain through tomorrow. I caught a bit of a cold so good excuse to do next to nothing. :smirk: I picked up some vitamin C and a prescription for my feet last night.
    Foot Doc gave me a foot splint to wear at night for plantar fasciitis, some exercises, and 5 days of prednisone. Achilles tendon also inflamed. I have a very angry body!
    Jo, 13 pounds is wonderful...I'm still having a hard time trying to keep the scale from going up any more! I'm at the highest I've been in about 2 years.
    Roger and Irene, congrats on all the walking.
    Happy Weekend everyone. Take time to RELAX! :)

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 41 degrees, not that bad for this time of year. Yesterdays High was around 50 degrees. The rain that was forecast to be here through the night is still falling and as I was walking away from the house the wind was at my back, On the return leg it was in my face :(

    Hi Vix
    That sounds like we are having today for weather :(

    I see nothing wrong with doing nothing on an occasional basis :wink:

    Did the doctor say what You caught that a prescription could help with ?

    I looked up plantar fasciitis as I was not sure what it was, Ouch. I wonder if the Achilles tendon became inflamed due to walking funny to avoid the pain from the plantar fasciitis ?

    Losing weight is hard, keeping it off is harder in my opinion, You may disagree.

    13 pounds is a good loss by Joanne.

    Have a Good Day

    Hi Irene
    That is interesting I often get my call around 9AM, a couple of times somewhat later in the day, I wonder if they are changing their procedures ?

    Lucky me, I was out early enough Saturday that I needed the rain Jacket, shortly after I returned home the rain ceased for the daylight hours :(
    Today I wore the Rain Pants and Rain Jacket, When I do that I also wear a Visor or Baseball cap as that keeps the hood on the rain jacket from blocking most of my vision when I tie it to keep it on as I did today due to the wind.

    Have a Good Walk Today

    Congratulations on the Pound Loss as Well as the 4 cents
    Roger

    Good morning.
    It rained here all day yesterday and through the night and continuing this a.m.
    I didn't get a prescription for my cold, just the prednisone for the inflamation in my feet and tendons. I'm hoping the cold eases up in a few days...taking zinc and vitamin C. Maybe I'll add in some echinacea.
    No plans yet for today. I'm going to take a nice hot epsom salt soak in the tub and see how I feel. I really need to go out and pick up some holiday gifts this week....online had a few backorder problems!
    Happy Sunday, everyone. :)

    Good evening;
    I am getting ready to watch the football game. Hubby and I went to the gym this morning for our training session. We plan on going Tues, Thurs and Sundays to start, that way our muscles will have a change to recover in between.
    Vix-I hope the prednisone helps.

    Hello Irene
    I decided to go the distance as long as the wind was not blowing the rain into my face. I was OK with the Baseball cap brim keeping the rain away from my face and the Rain hood Tied shut due to the wind.

    Interesting, I had not realized those wall recliners had a name, Did You get one that also Swivels and rocks, I had one of those and loved it until it died, I killed it as at that point in time I was at my all time high weight, Being overweight costs more than just health issues and more expensive clothes.

    I just looked to be sure I was remembering properly, In the Living Room I use a light to medium blue recliner and we have a chair the same color and my Brother uses a dark Blue recliner and the walls are light Blue, I'm sensing a theme here.

    You are further south than I am the might be the difference I suppose, I think of myself as living in Northern Central Jersey.

    Does Your order include any of the New Dinners, I am hoping for Feedback on them before I adjust my order.

    Have a Good Day
    Roger

    Hi Vix
    The rain did end by 8PM, I just did not look often to see exactly when :smiley:

    I take a Vitamin C, Zinc is part of a Three Mineral Supplment, Also a Multi Vitamin, D and L-Lysine currently. The last two are recent additions to see if the help with anything.

    I see I got what the prescriptions were for way wrong. I hope they are helping.

    We basically have two gifts to get likely locally, One for a neighbor for when She drops off her gift to us. Throughout the year we do give her some of the things my Brother bakes and some things from a Show he goes to. The Other is for a Friend, The one We had the Brunch with on Nov. 30.

    Other than that I think we are done and I am done with mine, I just need to wrap a couple of them. I bought a Kidde Brand Fire extinguisher for the kitchen that I will tag as from Santa :wink:

    Good Luck with Your feet

    Great work keeping up the walking Irene and Roger.
    I felt better after the soak yesterday and did go out shopping. Tried it again this morning, but it didn't help as much.
    May go out with hubby to find him a new desk chair, and I have an acupuncture appt scheduled for this afternoon. Still gray and gloomy out here.
    Wishing everyone a good week. :)

    Hi Irene
    I think what I dislike about walking in the rain is the extra noise that means I need to crank up the volume one what I am listening to. Between the wet road noise and the sound of the water drops hitting the Hood on the rain jacket color me unhappy for those reasons.

    I am eagerly awaiting You report on the new dinners. I liked the Turkey Sausage & Bacon Rigatoni, Sweet & Sour Chicken, and the Ricotta Crepes Oh well the four frozen dinners are a decent replacement. They discontinued four dinners and added four. They seem to want to only have a certain total amount of foods.

    Did You also get this email from NS about discontinued foods ?
    DEAR NUTRISYSTEM CUSTOMER,

    We're contacting you to inform you of a change to a few of our menu items. Effecitve immediately, the following items are being discontinued: Turkey Sausage & Bacon Rigatoni, Tuscan Inspired Pasta, Baked Blueberry Oatmeal, Sweet & Sour Chicken, Ricotta Crepes and Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie.
    FOR YOUR NEXT ORDER:

    If you included any of these items in your upcoming order and like the substitution we've listed below, DO NOTHING. We'll ship it to you with your order.
    If there is another item you'd prefer instead of our substitution, simply change your order:
    Log in to your account on Nutrisystem.com, select the Manage Next Order button, then select Change/Customize My Order. You can update your menu utilizing the green Customize buttons.

    PLEASE NOTE: All order changes need to be completed by 6 p.m. EST the night before your NEXT order is scheduled to process.

    Discontinued Item Substitution
    Turkey Sausage & Bacon Rigatoni by Chicken Pasta Parmesan
    Tuscan Inspired Pasta by Pasta Fagioli
    Baked Blueberry Oatmeal by Baked Banana & Chocolate Oatmeal
    Sweet & Sour Chicken by Chicken Parmesan
    Ricotta Crepes by Margherita Pizza
    Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie by Chocolate Cupcake


    I tried and never ordered again the Oatmeals and the Chocolate Peanut Butter brownie was always to dry for my tastes. The Pasta dish being replace by a soup makes little sense to me FWIW.

    Have a Good Day

    Hi Vix
    Nice that the soak helped, sorry to hear it was less effective the next day, Good Luck with that in the future.

    Shopping, One of My least favorite things to do :blush:

    Hmm... Maybe that would be a nice add on gift for my Brother his no longer is adjustable for height and is way to low for my tastes.

    Today looks like a nice sunny day from looking up at the sky and being able to see stars this morning. Now if the wind goes away, much better.

    I need to Vacuum Seal a Fruit Cake this morning, Finish packing the box with it for my sister from my brother and Mail it while he does other errands. I'm not feeling enthusiastic about that but fair is fair, He picked things up at the grocery store for me Sunday.

    Have a Nice Day

    good morning, roger I didn't receive that e-mail but most of the food on the list as a rule I don't order. Tonight for dinner I am having chicken marsala I will let you know what I think about it. We went for our walk this morning and it wasn't as windy as it is now . I did 31 minutes on the treadmill will be taking Annie out for another walk. I might wrap gifts this afternoon I need to start. Roger hope your post office isn't too busy. Zix hope you are feeling a little relief. Hey Jo how is work going I am sure it has started to get busy. Take care everyone
