100% 11/17 I think there are a lot of peeps that joined up for a bl thing that started on Monday on the proboards site. Went out with one dog and walked a little bit...my back really hurts when I do that....think I need to do it more and since I can't take the bike out due to its too cold, rainy I will have to start walking more which will probably be good for me. Its blowing pretty good out there 28 mph winds right now.

Hi
The weather during today's walk was OK despite the forecast. The Rain held off until I was home and the Gusty winds have not started blowing yet. Temperatures were in the comfortable range, I only needed a Thin Long Sleeve Shirt and no gloves. I did take a light rain jacket and folding umbrella along just in case but they were not needed.
Have a Nice Thursday

HI Ginny
It is possible that by walking You will strengthen muscles in the back and reduce back pain too.
Rain is coming today, and they say windy too.
Cheers

Hi
I walked today and picked up my coffee from Dunkin Donuts, I got a gift card for $20 from my brother that he would not use, he won it in a drawing at a meeting.
Then By Registering at DDperks with the card info I got a printable coupon for a free coffee, Best Price I know of.
It was Cold today, 36 in a nearby town according to News12 when I checked to see what to wear fro my walk.
Talk about coincidences I was awake at 4:37AM and looked at the Clock/outdoor temperature reading on the clock. 4:37AM and 43.7 degrees on the front porch
Have a Good Weekend

Hopefully I can stay caught up this week. I finally see the scale moving on a daily basis, so hopefully I am over this plateau. Of course, right at the holidays. May goal is at least to maintain over Thanksgiving. If I don't get back to post, I am traveling this week and won't be back until next Monday, but I will post when I can and weigh when I get back
W/I 197.2
Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Hi
I was walking today, I went off of the Streets and sidewalks for part of it and wandered through the woods by one of our parks for a change of pace.
Temperature was not too bad today, tomorrow is supposed to be colder.
Have a Great Sunday

Hi
I was walking this morning. Wow was it it cold around 32 degrees, It would not have been bad except that there was a breeze too. I was warm enough except for the exposed area on my face
I am sitting here listening to Chandu the Magician from here

11/22 and 11/23 not 100, I feel like I am losing a little control with all the goodies in the office. I have to reel it in and get focused. I have to stay strong during the holidays.
Roger, that's cold. I'm heading north to the Carolinas for Thanksgiving. The Florida girl will be cold.

Short Story involving my Brothers Home made bread fresh from the oven
Hi
Well, I went walking today, Somewhat colder than Yesterday, No Breeze however so it worked out about the same. I suspect I should have waited til later in the day, Finally the Sun has broken through the clouds
Currently Listening to The Sad Sack Show 1946-06-19, Followed by FredAllen371222_Town_Hall_TonightSanta_Will_Not_Ride_Tonight_Guest_Jack_Benny.mp3 and The Fat Man - Murder Squares the Triangle.

See below for why
Hi
On today's walk I went a new route due to the stops I wanted to make.
1st Post Office, Then Dunkin Donuts for a Extra large Black Coffee on the Gift Card from my Brother, then while there I picked up the Free Boston Creme Doughnut for him, The Last receipt had a place to take a survey and enter a validation code for a free doughnut Then some walking and back to the bank to make a deposit for both of us and home. 8K+ steps.
It was only a couple of degrees warmer than yesterday when I started out, No real breeze however and then it warmed up by the time I left the bank.
Last Night we started the Holiday baking with Banana nut Muffins using Hickory Nuts. I ended up eating some of them since I had not had any of those for years. Then Peeled to many Bananas so I ate the extra one and Tasted the Batter after filling the Muffin Tin.
Today is prep day. I already peeled the potatoes and they are cooking, While I did that he Made the Dressing AKA Stuffing and it is in the Oven, Later on a Pumpkin Pie and a Mincemeat pie. Tonight the Turkey goes in the oven on am lowish heat so that it can rest and firm up tomorrow before being carved. It will still be warm FWIW. He also made Carrot sticks and Celery Sticks as snacks. Tomorrow probably the plate using them with Black Olives, Spanish Olives with Pimento and Home Made Deviled Eggs.
Have a Nice Thanksgiving Eve

Too much home cooking to sample.
Hi
I got out walking this morning. Despite the fact that it will be warmer later today it was within a degree or two of Yesterdays temperature.
The Turkey is cooked and out of the roaster sitting in the oven, Two Pumpkin Pies and one Apple Pie are cooked. The Mashed Potatoes, A Sweet Potato Cassoulet, Two Homemade Lasagna, Candied Carrots and Stuffing are ready to be warmed up in the oven. The Deviled Eggs are being prepared right now, The Celery and Carrots are slivered for a appetizer tray, the Sweet Gherkins, and Black Olives are ready to be opened and used too.
If I said my Brother goes overboard for the Holidays
Have a Happy Thanksgiving Day
