    Hi
    I hope everybody survived the Holiday with minimal diet damage :)

    When I left the House this morning I could barely see the far end of the block for the fog. By the time I got home it had cleared up. Temperatures were not too bad either. I did wear gloves during the walk, heavy at the start and light by the end as the Sun warmed things up.

    Have a Great Friday

    11/27/2015 Not 100%


    Hi
    I was out walking, Surprise :)

    My Thanksgiving holiday plans did not survive contact with the enemy, My Brothers Feast of a meal. However last night we broke down the Turkey, Vacuum sealed it and froze it. Likewise with the larger Homemade Lasagna, over 1/2 of the Mashed Potatoes & Bread stuffing, and the entire second Homemade Pumpkin Pie. All in the freezer and safe from temptation.

    When I got on the scale it said, One at a time Please :)

    Have a Great Weekend

    Today the 19th is looking good so far too

    Hi
    A litle chilly and dreary looking out this morning when I was walking, Later on the Sun came out and the day looks better. I walked to the Dunkin Donuts and Picked up a Free Glazed Donut for my Brother and a Extra Large Black Coffee for me.

    I'm trying to decide whether to delay my next order and use up more of the food on hand. Decisions, decisions!

    Have a Good Sunday

    Hi Ginny
    Tell me about it. I was not 100% for two days and the scale told me so too :(

    It took me until today to stop retaining extra water and start losing it again. I'm not even sure why unless it was something in the Turkey? My Brother uses no salt in cooking so any salt in the food was already there. The Only time he adds salt is if baking and the recipe calls for it.

    Today was colder than Yesterday and tomorrow (Monday) should be colder still.

    Good Luck

    Well, I'm back. Miss checking in, tried, but I got a new phone and couldn't find everything on the phone. The Caolina's were beautiful and not as cold as I expected. Took a boat ride on Lake Norman, saw many of the race car drivers homes, as well as Michael Jordan's home.

    Roger, even though I did pretty good and held tight and ate mindfully, put me down as not 100 all the days. I will give my weigh in tomorrow.

    Glad everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving.

    Hi All
    It was cold walking today, I feel it in the fingers mostly, some on the face when the breeze blows. It was 31 degrees in nearby Somerville and showing 33 degrees on the closed in front porch when I left. Tomorrow is supposed to be warmer but rainy for Tuesday and Wednesday.

    When I left the house the Sun was shining and felt good on me. During the walk the clouds moved in and that was that for the Sun. It is now cloudy and filtered Sun and does not feel warm out.

    Have a Good Week

    Hi Donna
    I'm not surprised that a new phone gave You trouble. Never having used one for that I would be completely lost :)

    It sounds as if You had a Good time and that is important too. Congratulations on eating carefully.

    Have a Good Day

    Good morning...it snowed outside and will end up being shoveable snow before its done.
    100% 11/28 and 11/29 WI 194.4 +.4 Not terrible. I'm going to move my car to towards the end of the driveway so I have less to shovel.

    Hi All
    I went walking + 2 Cents. I shortened it as it was starting to drizzle when I left the house. It kept getting slowly rainier, still not to bad except that my Gloves were slowly getting wet and thus my fingers were getting cold. Therefor I shortened it up somewhat. OTOH Yesterday I had to go back out and ended up 7,000 steps over the days normal walking :)

    Have a Great Tuesday

    Hi Ginny
    That stinks, Snow already. My Brother and I do something similar and move his car near to the end of the driveway, leaving enough room for whatever the plow pushes in to be clear of the car and then we move mine to a 3 or 4 foot spacing from his. Then shovel in front of mine and around his. Move mine up to the cleared area and shovel around where it was.

    Cheers

    Hi Again
    I have updated the Spreadsheet. Let me know if I oopsed it :)

    I see we survived the holiday, My Weight had shot up and then is coming down fast to where I was. I had a suspicion it was water weight somehow. I did not see how I could gain that much in two days even if I were a couch potato and I was out walking on both days :)

    Cheers

    Good going Donna! 100% 11/30 Didn't have to shovel...its like ice out there so I am leaving it alone. It will melt this weekend and there isn't that much there. We had some freezing rain this morning which iced some and melted some.

    Hi
    Walked again today, for now the rain has moved out and the next wave of heavier rain will be in later today.

    We are going out to the Christmas Tree shop later to look at Window and Yard Decorations.

    Have a Nice Wednesday

    Hi Ginny
    It sounds as if You got lucky with regard to shoveling :)
    I try and stay clear of walking or driving if it is icing, Safety first!

    Hi
    I walked today, a reverse route, You see things that way You miss going in the other direction :)
    Factoid: During the walk I passed 5 houses where I could see the Solar panels on the roof, Others may have had them on the side of the roof I could not see. It seems they are becoming more popular

    Have a Nice Thursday
