Good morning;
We went to the gym this morning. This afternoon we are going to the Museum of Fine Arts to see the Ansel Adams exhibit.
I went back to wearing my old sneakers and my hip seems to be better while walking on the treadmill. I tried to jog but that made it hurt.
Roger-I haven't listened to a weather report today. I hope we are not getting the same kind of weather.
Hi Vix
Hi Irene.
Have a great day!

Good morning.
It's cloudy again here now and in the mid 30s, supposed to get a little warmer this afternoon.
I see the cooling and possible snow for Tuesday and later in the week.
Jo, glad your hip's feeling a bit better. Ansel Adams did some wonderful photography. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Good for you for keeping up with the gym.
Roger, it is cloudy and windy here. You're really good about walking every day, but I won't walk in the bitter cold or very windy weather either. I want to enjoy my walks.
Hi Irene.
Happy Sunday, everyone. 0 -
good morning, I have been wearing hoodie that covers a lot of my face so the wind doesn't bother me so much. If I waited till there was no wind I would never wall. No plans for today just going to take it easy. I did get 6,901 steps in from our walk. take care everyone0

Hi Vix
Hi Irene.
Have a great day!
I hope You are correct, I do not wish the NJ weather for this week on anyone.
Ansel Adams, I haven't heard that name in a while.
The fact that the old sneakers seem to work better indicates to me that if the same model that they old ones wore in to the way You walk or that the new ones are not right for You.
That is why I buy the same brand and model for walking, Better safe than sorry
Especially since right from the box they do not need to be broken in.
Good Luck with the Weather

Hi Irene.
Happy Sunday, everyone.
If I said I am not happy that the forecasters are talking about single digits and wind chills down to -20 degrees. I hope Being further South You escape the worst of it. Rain going over to snow for later in the day Tuesday into Wednesday
You may have noticed that I stayed home the last arctic blast set in and when it looked slippery.
I am not interested in walking where I have to lean into the wind.
Have a Nice Day

The Hoodie I wear has drawstrings so I can adjust how much face is covered also. Today with the windchill I had it tied where the ties were over on my chin. Not that comfortable but better than freezing. I am guessing that when the arctic blast hits later this week, You will also stay indoors ?
That is hitting the nail on the head, wait for no wind and get no walking
Congratulations on the steps

good morning, on our afternoon walk yesterday I found 2 cents. Today I already walked 1 hr plus 23 minutes on the treadmill so I got in9,724 steps my weight is coming off slow but sure. not looking forward to our weather this week Roger Hi Jo and Vix0

Good morning.
Roger, looks like our forecast is pretty similar...yuck.
Sunny and cold today.
Walked in the park yesterday. It was chilly when we started. I had a nice furry hat and a scarf around my face. It warmed up a little and the sun came out as we were finishing up the walk.
You're so good about walking Irene....congrats on the weight loss!
Hi Jo.
Stay warm, everyone. Happy Monday. 0 -
Good morning;
It looks like our forecast is similar also.
You all are so good about walking outside. If I didn't go to the gym I wouldn't get any walking done in the cold weather.
I tried a different pair of sneakers yesterday and after a while of walking around the museum my hip started hurting. It seems like I am down to my works shoes(Clarke's) and my gym sneakers that don't bother me. After I see my doc, I may go and be fitted for just the right sneakers for walking and running. There is a company here called Heartbreak Hill Running Co. that will take a video of how you walk and fit you to the right sneakers for your gait.
Nothing planned for today, just puttering around the house.
Have a great day! 0 -
I have posted more humor, It includes some Cat Humor
Hi
I'm back home from walking and once again no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 27 degrees. The weather forecast as of this morning is that rain will start this afternoon turning to Snow with the arctic Blast moving in overnight. The overnight Lows for Wednesday & Thursday are forecast to be in the single digits with bitter wind chills down to -20 in some parts of NJ
Mini Review. I liked the new NS Chicken Marsala, 230 Calories 27g Carbohydrates. It was very tasty, I shall be ordering several of these for my next order.

I am thinking of not walking tomorrow as I wonder if the rain ahead of the snow will cause a layer of ice under the snow, That would be bad to walk on. Then the overnight lows combined with the bitterly cold wind chills
I could dress for the overnight lows, it is the wind chills that are the problem.
If, And I say If I had gotten on the scale this morning I am sure my weight would be up after having Chinese take out. That would be Moo Shu Beef, I remembered to have them hold the 4 Pancakes that come with it, Since the menu had no mention of it I forgot to tell them to hold the White Rice. If I had held those carbs the Moo Shu Beef would have been close to OK since it is shredded cabbage, fried eggs, mushrooms and bamboo shoots in a sauce. The Rice was there so I ate it being weak when it comes to temptations

Hi Jo.
Stay warm, everyone. Happy Monday.
Yuck is a good term for the next 3 days.
At least this morning it was not windy so it was OK while walking. The main reason I prefer to walk early is that there is much less traffic noise which interferes with the Audio book I listen to. If I am listening to music that noise is much less of a problem. A lost of the traffic I see is commercial, Box Trucks and tractor trailers as well as a lot of garbage trucks ans some buses.
Stay Safe and Warm

Dang, everybody here is looking at bad weather.
Clarkes as a brand does not ring a bell. I wonder why, OTOH I suspect that brands I do remember may be long gone. When I was young, Grade School young, Buster Brown was advertising on the TV.
That sounds like a good idea, I hope they fit You with shoes that match Your gait and that they are a good cure for hip pain.
Only puttering around the house sounds like a good idea to me.
Have a Good Day

Good morning.
Stained glass class is cancelled for this morning. It wasn't supposed to rain or snow until this afternoon, but it has just started snowing very lightly. So I get to be lazy this morning.
There is a beautiful red cardinal sitting on the pine tree just outside my window.
It's important to have comfortable shoes. My podiatrist liked that I had a pair of Brooks sneakers. He said I should mostly wear those and my hiking boots for the next few months til my feet are better. I miss wearing shoes with a little more heel. I bought a pair of Clarke's sandals last summer, pretty comfortable, and Clarke's slippers for hubby, which he really likes.
I haven't had Chinese food in a long time. I used to really like it, but it doesn't agree with me.
Not sure if I'll trek up for pottery class or not. I'll see how the weather goes. Just stopped snowing, it may be on and off this a.m. The sky is solid gray.
Have a great Tuesday, everyone. Stay safe and warm.

good morning, well when we walked this morning it was 19 but no wind so we all were fine, even Annie had her coat on. I also got on the treadmill for 26 minutes I didn't go fast or my leg would start to hurt. Not looking forward to the cold weather that is coming but not like there is anything we can do about it. I just placed another order with ns doing a la carte. Buy one get one free I might just start doing this all the time. Jo I have worn Clarke's for a long time really nice shoes. Vix maybe it was a good idea that they canceled your stain glass class. Roger I love Chinese food so I try to stay away. take care everyone0

I just posted more humor, I liked the Scale image
Hi
I'm back home from walking and once again no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 21 degrees with a wind chill in a nearby city of 8. The rain Yesterday started and stopped on schedule and never turned o snow here, Other areas of NJ had 5 inches of snow. When I looked outside this morning it looked OK, so I went walking.
Where I am we did dodge a bullet with the rain ending before it turned to snow. I will not be walking tomorrow considering that the wind chill today of 8 degrees was bad enough and that tomorrow will much colder. There is a chance of a brief snow this afternoon.
Mini Review. I liked the new NS Four Cheese Manicotti , 250 Calories 35g Carbohydrates. It was tasty, however it tasted a lot like the old Whole Wheat Ricotta Crepes. I will be ordering more of these in the future.

It sort of sounds as if Your weather was worse than in my area. I never saw anything beyond rain. We get Cardinals, Bluejays, The occasional Woodpecker that eats off of the Suet Block and the common sparrows. The Bird feeder sits where it can be seen out the Living Room Picture window. We also get Doves eating the seeds the other birds scatter from the feeder. The Darn Tree Rats AKA Squirrels were getting at the Feeder and decimating the contents despite the Squirrel Proof Feature so I ended up ordering a large Collar for the pole that did stop them. I still see them eating off the ground in competition with the Doves
I tried Faux Fur Lined Moccasins for around the house wear, Not my best decision as the fur tends to trap and hold any grit that might get tracked into the house. Where some of what gets into them comes from is a mystery to me. I think I will try the cloth lined ones next time.
IS it worth going for one of the two classes ?
Have a Good Day

Yesterday was not bad for walking here either, Today I was feeling the wind chill and given tomorrows forecast there is no way I plan to leave the house beyond getting the mail
I just looked to see and I had no notice of a Buy one Get one A La Carte sell in my email, I wonder if it is only available to select members. At the price I would buy more of the new Dinner Entrees since I only bought one of each to test the taste of them.
I suspect that You may have escaped bad weather Tuesday ?
I find that with Chinese Food and I love the taste FWIW it does cause cravings
Have a Nice Day
