Hi All
I walked 2.74 miles today, Really nice out again, the same as yesterday. I had one Deer go clattering out of a side road and across the road in front of me and through a yard on its way to the brook. Then a little further on I saw another female with tow of this years crop eating from the lawn in a yard, one of the little ones was around 80% white. I had to look a second time to see what it was.

Then yesterday I saw the blue Heron flying down the brook towards the lake, I usually see it below the lake. Then on my block there was a Woodpecker hanging upside down on a limb pecking away. Not to mention the usual assortment of rodents AKA Squirrels & Rabbits.

I had a Egg Salad Wrap for my mid-morning snack. 1 Egg at 80 calories, 1Tbsp Hellmans Light no fat Mayo @ 30 calories, Mount Olive Sugar Free Sweet Relish @ 0 Calories and 1/2 a large Flatout Original Light Whole Wheat Flatbread at 45 calories per 1/2 piece.

Have a Good Friday

Hi Ginny
Were You doing Your Happy Dance when You got the notification?

I have the Frozen Cinnamon Roll on my planned Sunday along with the Pepperoni Pizza melt and the Sweet and Sour Chicken entrees for my meals. Sunday is my day for small treats like that.

Have a Good Day

Hi
I went & walked this morning starting at 5:25Am and overachieved doing it, 3.25 miles and 1 cent. The Weather was warmer and more humid than yesterday, Lucky me that there was a breeze to keep it comfortable.

Not to much on my agenda for the day.

Have a Great Sunday

Got my gigantic white box this morning. Didn't get any pepperoni pizza melts...never have been able to get any of them. They were also low on meatball parmesan melts so I got 12 hamburgers for subs...good think I like them. They will probably be the next thing to go low inventory . It was raining this morning and all day yesterday so I probably won't be mowing the yard until tomorrow.

Hi Ginny
Sorry to hear that You got substitutions. As You say the Hamburgers are Good as a sun.

It sounds as if they are not doing a good job managing inventory, I got the Pepperoni Pizza Melts as a sub for the Meatball Parmesan melt I had ordered.

Since You have so many Hamburgers here is a possible use for one of them. Pull the meat and put the bun back in the freezer to use with one of the Dinners such as the sloppy Joe or Meatballs Marinara that get a bun used with them. Then Crumble The Hamburger into a small Baking pan, maybe a Cupcake pan and put some loaded Baked potato or Instant Potatoes watching the portion as a type of Shepard Pie, Top before baking with a low fat Cheese to taste.

There is a recipe here:

Just replace the Boca Burger with the Hamburger patty.

Good Luck

Hi
I walked this morning and on the way back home I picked up some more of these Black Walnuts, + 4 Cents, Delicious too. They are sitting on the front porch drying right now. Then I mowed the grass, Might be the last time this year
These are examples of what I picked up and how they look after having the outer skin removed and then cracked. That stump they are sitting on in the first picture is a perfect place to crack the nuts. A Nutcracker is not really going to work either.

totally forgot to post those when I posted the first time sigh. I put on a pair of jeans I still had flying around in my closet and the memory behind those were I wore them when I met my husband.....of course during the years I wasn't even able to wear them.....looked at the size the other day (and yeah no clue why I kept them lol....but now I do lol) and thought to myself I should be able to wear them...they fit that was an eyeopener....I met my husband in 2002 so 13 years ago...glad that I kept them....anyways I hope things are going well with everybody...

Flo keeping you in my thoughts and prayers....stay strong.....

Hi Sue
I wore a pair of work pants when I mowed the lawn this morning. They go back to the late 80s or early 90s. I would call Your being able to wear those Jeans a significant NSV and a great Validation that Your hard work and dedication to weight loss is paying off.

Congratulations

Hi
I went walking and found no money but I did save 64 cents by reusing the coffee cup from the Quick Chek, and 2.9 miles.

Thanks RogerToo for the idea of what to do with all those hamburgers. I do have a couple loaded potatoes left so I will try that with them.

Flo..Sorry to see you go. Hope things turn around for you soon.

Sue...Great NSV being able to wear those jeans!!!

Hi Ginny
NS popcorn? The Skinny Cow I would gift to my brother or throw out, too much temptation.

Good Luck with the Hamburger and Loaded Baked Potato

good evening folks ,

today I was thrown into a temptation lunch...one of my dear co-workers is leaving and she decided to order Pizza and wings for the whole office...OH DEAR....talk about being unprepared....so.....I have to admit I thought about it for a moment and had the thought yeah it's not going to hurt if I eat a slice or two..then though I thought about my weight loss from this week so I threw those thoughts of giving in out of my head and went to my NS lunch and my veggies and be good. It was hard and I felt sad to be honest...good after lunch that I stuck it out but during lunch I have to say I wasn't feeling so great as I saw everybody eating pizza (and a lot of them don't have to worry about their weight sigh).....end of venting sigh

09/21 = 100 % and very proud of it!

Hi Sue
Congratulations on resisting, Pizza is a tough to resist food

FWIW I have seen those types that can eat anything with no weight gain. What I have often seen is that they have bad eating habits and suddenly their metabolism changes and Bam, Their weight balloons as they never had to watch what they ate.

Good Luck
Roger
