    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 everyone

    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 have just posted more humor

    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.

    Hi Vix
    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.

    Hello Irene
    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 :smiley:

    Have a Nice Day

    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.

    Hi Irene
    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.

    Have a Good Day
    Roger

    Hi Vix
    I can not believe I forgot to mention Valentines Day yesterday, I must have been more tired than I thought to miss that.

    I hope that regimen is working for Your Foot and Ankle.

    I would count that as a win, I tend to keep second guessing my choices.

    Have a Nice Day

    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?

    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.
    Happy Friday, everyone. :)

    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! :)

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

    Congratulations on the 50 cents found, You are doing better than I. I did not say I would not go, Just that I dislike going, That is the same reason I put off doctor visits as long as possible.

    Have a Good Day

    Hi Vix
    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.

    Have a Nice Day

    Hi Joanne
    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 :smiley:

    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.
    Happy Saturday, everyone. :)
