    Good afternoon;
    It is a beautiful day, sun is shining and the temp is 55. I opened a few windows to air out the house. I got out of work at 11:00 today,because I had reached my 40 hours. They are getting very strict about OT. So I came home and cleaned kitchen and bathrooms. I bought new towels for the upstairs bathroom. The bathroom is mostly Ivory and I like to brighten it up with colored towels. I bought a very pretty coral color.
    Irene-Do you have any vacation time? It might be a good idea to use it now.
    Roger-I think we are on the same delivery schedule. I have to go in and remove some of the frozen that I didn't like
    (Chicken and roasted vegetables). Yuk. I usually get bars for lunches, but I am getting tired of them. I really like the frozen melts. I usually heat them in the morning and put them in a sandwich bag and then eat them cold for lunch.
    I don't mind eating them cold. :)
    Vix-have fun tonight. Do you play poker or is it the guys only? I am happy to hear that your cold is better. I still have a slight cough and am always clearing my throat. The doctor gave me a prescription for Flonase. The instructions said it may take a while before I see any results.
    Enjoy your day! :)

    It's just the guys playing poker. The ladies just hang out and gab. :) Hope you're feeling better soon, Jo.
    I didn't do much today, laundry, and I'm going to do the PT exercises now, before we go out.
    Good walking, Irene. I'm sure it'll be great to have your knee feeling better. I agree with Jo...take any vacation time if you have it.
    Have a good evening, everyone.
    Hugs.

    Good morning!
    Had fun last night gabbing with the girls. :) Was out really late, so will have to catch up on sleep tonight.
    Supposed to go up to the 50s today and rain expected, there's a little sunshine now, but I'm just going to relax with my coffee for a while.
    My son and his GF are going to stop by later. I'm really looking forward to seeing them, it's been a while.
    Happy Sunday, everyone. :)

    Hi
    I did get out walking and extended my distance somewhat, 8.5K steps, no money :) The Weather is still nice outside, Rain in the forecast to move in by late afternoon or evening into early Monday Morning.

    I'll be heading off to the Acme later for the case water that is on sale and to look at the lean Cuisine that is on sale to see if it works On Plan for NS.

    Have a Great Sunday

    Hi Irene
    I know it is hard to not get stressed out by work, however I eventually learned to leave work and thinking about it behind when I closed the door at work can come home.

    Good for hitting the 10K

    Hi Joanne
    We had beautiful weather for February here too, today slightly cooler but not bad so far.

    My Delivery schedule is all over the place as I usually end up extending the date further out due to adding A La Carte items :)

    This one is two or three weeks behind where it was originally, I would have moved it even further if I did not want to try the two new frozen Dinner.

    I have found that I have Lunch bars that I will either have to freeze or use up before they hit their Use By Date. I find that I like the Melts, and I like some of the lunch cups for variety.

    Good Luck shaking that slight cough and clearing of Your throat.

    Hi Vix
    It sounds as if You had a pleasant evening if a little late. I find that however much I want to catch up on missed sleep I end up waking up at the same time anyway.

    Stay Dry & Enjoy the visit

    It was fun having my son and his GF over for dinner last night. I really miss them when I don't see them for a few weeks.
    Mostly sunny and up to 50 today....that seems pretty nice.
    Off to yoga in a few.
    Have a great day! :)

    Good morning;
    A nice sunny day.
    I am off today and have no plans as of yet.
    I am doing another blood glucose curve on Vinny, his sugar is out of control again. At one point he was only getting 1/2 unit of insulin, now we are up to 2 units and it is still very high.
    Hi Irene and Roger.
    Have a good day! :)

    Aw, sorry about Vinny, Jo. Enjoy the rest of your day off.
    I have no plans for the rest of the day, but do need a few things over at Walmart, so will probably stop by there. It's really nice out, so a good day to get outside.
    Enjoy. :)

    Hi
    I went back out for a short walk yesterday afternoon to pick up something at one of the dollar stores that I had forgotten to get at the Acme. 14.5K total steps.
    Today is slightly cooler but OK + 1corroded penny. 8.5k steps so far including another drive to the Acme. They had water on sale with a limit of two. I also picked up a organic Gummi Worms today and a organic Gummi Bears yesterday as they were free. They will will be dropped off somewhere as the price was right. I also picked up some Michelinas entrees at 4 for $5, and some Lean Cuisine whose statistics looked OK. They were 5 for $10 for some and $2.49 for others of a upscale Lean Cuisine. The Macaroni & Beef I had for dinner last night was tasty too, so I picked up a couple more today as well as other flavors. The carbohydrates are a little high, OTOH looking at some Shelf Stable NS Entrees I see 30g to 37g so I can work them in by dropping one of the two Clementines I add as a SC :)

    Classic Macaroni & Beef
    Calories 270
    Fat 5g
    Fiber 3g
    Protein 13g
    Sodium 530mg
    Carbohydrates 43g

    With the Frozen Entrees I picked up I am back in balance on meals as it was dinners I was light on so I think I will delay my order further.

    Probably CostCo for Frozen vegetables & Paper goods later this week or early next week.

    Have a Great Week

    Hi Irene and Roger.

    Hi Joanne
    I have frozen most of the NS foods with no problem. NS says not to do it to the Shelf Stable Entrees as they could pop the seal, I have not seen that and considering that I pull them out of the freezer and defrost them for use later that same day I do not worry about it. The Baked Goods freeze really well, the Lunch and Dinner cups I do not bother with and I do not freeze the plastic cups of food with the pull tab tops.

    I am sorry to hear about Vinnie's Sugar problems. Do they make Diabetic foods for pets?

    Enjoy the Day Off & Good Luck with Vinny

    It started to Rain lightly as I was heading back home from the dollar store yesterday, I did not bother with the Umbrella as it was scattered drops only at that point.

    Today's weather is OK to. I was off to the Acme in just a Pocket T Shirt. heavy rain in the forecast for mid week :(

    Enjoy Your Day

    Hi
    I just tried a lean Cuisine Baked Chicken Dinner, further information in the Food Reviews section shortly, here: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/105887-ns-food-reviews

    I walked 8.2K Steps and one badly corroded penny. The Penny was found when I walked down the sidewalk on the opposite side of the street from the one I usually walk on :)

    Light Rain already, It started less than an hour after my walk, so I got that in before the rain.
    I also swung past the Produce Store and picked up Bananas, a decent size 99 cent Strawberries, three Nectarines and three Pears all to be used as SCs. The Lettuce was small and light in weight so I passed it by as at 89 cents it still was no bargain. I would rather pay more an get a good quality and size head of Lettuce.

    Have a Nice Tuesday

    Vix-it is cloudy here now and later we are supposed to get some snow, then tomorrow an icy mix. The ride to work tomorrow should be fun.

    Hi
    I decided to go walking this morning, when I got up the local Cable news channel showed a break in the weather and it looked OK, Just wet outside so I togged up in a complete head to toe Frogg Toggs and went walking. When I left the house it was just a fine mist, intermittent slightly heavier rain but not to bad actually. I covered my normal distance 7-Eleven Coffee powered :)

    The weather forecast is for heavier rain later on into early Thursday, Since I have two more days of frozen vegetables on hand I have decided to CostCo it on Friday. Friday will be Frozen vegetables and paper goods day from there.

    I will be adding a mini review of The Lean Cuisine Comfort line Pot Roast to the NS food reviews section, link to that section is: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/105887-ns-food-reviews

    Have a Nice Wednesday

    Hi Joanne
    I thought those prices were good, especially on the Florida Strawberries, Quite often lately I have seen lettuce at 99 cents a head. I think now that the California drought seems to be over it has helped prices.

    Good Luck with the weather, the wintry mix stayed North of us fortunately.

    Hi
    Interesting article linked here
    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/science-news/12170702/Eat-in-the-dark-to-lose-weight-say-scientists.html
    Eat in the dark to lose weight, say scientists
    Volunteers ate nearly 10 per cent less ice-cream when blindfolded, and believed they had eaten far more.

    An experiment by the University of Konstanz, in Germany, found that people who were blindfolded consumed nine per cent fewer calories before they felt full, compared to those who could see.

    “This may provide an unobtrusive and naturalistic means to change the experience of eating behaviour."
    Dr Britter Renner, University of Konstanz

    They also vastly overestimated how much they had eaten because they could not see how much was left on the plate. Blindfolded volunteers estimated they had eaten 88 per cent more than they actually had.


    More in the article

    A interesting read. For some people this may be all they need to lose weight :)

    Have a Nice Day

    Vix-enjoy you clean house.
    I went to have my hair colored after work today. I was a day early, my appt. wasn't until tomorrow. :o Luckily my hairdresser had an opening and I only had to wait 30 min. Yes, I am blonde. :)
    We only got rain, so the commute to work was a breeze.

    Hi
    The Weather cleared up overnight, No More rain, Lightening or Thunder. Still some gusty wind, but warm in the 50s so I did go walking and Buy more Florida Strawberries @$0.99 for a one pound box and a head of 79 cent Lettuce as I neared the end of my walk by the Produce Store. On the One road i walked on that crosses a small brook it was swollen and spread out all over and the road was closed where it was flooded. Some parts of NJ had up to 3 inches of rain and Wind gusts over 50MPH.

    I'll be updating the Food Reviews with a Mini Review of the Lean Cuisine Comfort Line Chicken Marsala & Risotto @210 calories in the food review section here:

    Hi Joanne
    It sounds as if You lucked out at the hairdresser.

    Commuting is bad enough in the rain, around here people seem to go brain dead on the roads when it rains or snows.

    If I though I could eat with a blindfold I would try it it just for the heck of it :)

    Have a Nice Day

    Hi Irene
    Just curious, do You have any of the new items ordered in Your NS box to try?
    Probably better not to walk if You are still not back to 100% well.

    Good Luck with the Appeal

    Hi Vix
    I thought the article and conclusions reached in it were interesting too.

    I do not think I could sleep wearing a sleep mask AKA blindfold, I wake up look at the clock and then fall back to sleep :)

    The Rain seems to be done, although I did see a few stray spritzes on the living room window a little while ago.

    A lot of loose debris blowing down the streets today and lots of little to smallish branches littering the sidewalks from the overnight wind when I was walking.

    I'll be heading to my brothers computer shortly to clone his Boot Drive with Windows 7 to another larger drive and then swapping them. That will give him a backup and more space. Both the old C: 160Gb and the new C: 500Gb are SSD drives for speed. There are also regular hard drives for data storage.

    Have a Nice Day

    Good afternoon;
    Lots of rain, thunder and lightening early this morning. By the time I left for work it was only misting and the temp was 60.
    Roger-I think if I tried to eat with a blindfold on, I would end up with food all down the front of me or stab myself with a fork. :)
    Irene-Take it easy for the next few day and hopefully by Monday you will feel better.
    Vix-What are you painting this time? How long does it take to get the infusion?
    I just customized my next order and removed some of the things I didn't like in my first frozen order.
    Have a good evening. :)

    good morning,came home early yesterday my knee was hurting we were standing around for 2 hours on my knee started to really hurt so between my knee and my cold I decided to call it a day I did get a positive feed back on quality so that was nice . I am suppose to go to lunch with a good friend I did warn her of my cold didn't have the heart to cancel on her, it seems every time we plan I have to cancel. I plan on having salmon since we are in lent no meat for me. Well hope everyone has a nice friday
