Hi
I walked today, 12 cents too
It was 36 degrees in a nearby town, Somerville NJ. The weather forecast is for it to double that temperature for a Daytime high today.
2015 Weekend Journey through the Past
http://www.co.somerset.nj.us/schistoryweekend/
I will most likely be heading here later today and talking to Francine.
http://www.co.somerset.nj.us/schistoryweekend/pdf/2015 Participating Historic Sites.pdf
On the walk I took a new route for part of it and flexed part of my breakfast. This is what I did
White Castle Breakfast slider w/ Bacon, Egg, Cheese:
Serving Size 84g, 210 Calories, Protein 1g, Fat12g, Total Carb 13g, Sodium510 mg, Fat Calories 110, Sat Fat 5g, Trans Fat 0g, Cholesterol 180mg, Dietary Fiber 1g, Sugars 2g
From Here: http://www.nutrition-charts.com/white-castle-nutrition-facts-calorie-information/
Then I sat down and removed most of the Bread from the top of the bun, put the Egg, Cheese & Bacon on what was left of the Bun, And threw away the bottom of the bun and ate it as a open face sandwich. I am thinking removing 2/3rds of the bun that way brought the calorie down pretty good. It was the first White Castle anything since the end of 2013 too.
I think that was a fairly successful Flex?
Then I had My banana and a NutriSystem Strawberry Protein Shake when I got home from the Produce store.
I picked up 1 Lettuce for me and two for my Brother, And for him some nice White Mushrooms, a Zuchinni, 4 Cortland Apples and a box of cherry tomatoes. That 10 Pounds 12 ounces total weight of the backpack & Contents, It sure felt heavy heading home from there too. Hard to believe I used to carry a lot more everywhere
Have a Nice Sunday

Hi Val
Thank You for the kind words, I have been working at it and as You can see I am attempting to do creative flexing today. I think I did OK. The sodium is a little high and I blame the Bacon for that as I was watching The Young lady cooking my eggs as well as others that she set up to be the base for Sausage, Egg & Cheese sandwiches. I saw no salt being added but bacon is usually high and that is despite being only a few short slices that did not even reach from side to side of the bun nor did the cheese overflow the bun and if You know White Castle You know that buns are not that big to start with
The next few days on the scale will tell me if I did it right or blew it.
Have a Good Day

Hi
Somewhat warmer than Yesterday during my walk & 2 Cents, Still cold overnight in the 40s due to the clear sky, That is also why it is warming up quickly with the sun up now.
Went to an Event Yesterday.
We were out of the house for 2 3/4 hours as it was nearby. It turned out to be not so much of a walking thing as that they were using rooms in the house with tours. House goes back before the revolutionary war, George Washington spent on season there and there were 10,000 troops in the surrounding area. A Talk at the start, Then a 4 horse race with Stick horses You could bet on using replica money they provided. A Demonstration of a dance from then that everybody participated in. Another talk where we all threw dice to see what Job we would have had, My Luck Hessian Prisoner. Then free Root Beer or bottled water in the tavern room with assorted games of the period.
Have a Good Monday

Hello, everyone! Started out late today. Spent the morning in bed catching up on Zzzz's for the first part of the holiday. lol Just now ate breakfast. lol I am so far behind eating! Well I wasn't perfect all last week but I did lose the 5 lbs that I gained the week before when I was really bad. I did a modified Fast 5. As in I stayed true for the day but had issues at night. But I did lose, so that's a good thing. I still can't get under 240 though. So frustrating! I am hoping this week goes well and I get into the 230's. Hope everyone has a great Monday! Let's do this!!!!!
@RogerToo That sounded fun. I like to do things like that. I haven't done one in awhile. Need to get out more!
@Daisylee87 Way to go! That's awesome! Keep it up!0 -
I walked 5 miles today, and did a major trim job on one of my front yard oak trees. It was 97 degrees, so could not do more. Other tree will have to edit. Wrist hurts a bit. (I font have one of those pole trimmers...I climbed up in the tree w my hacksaw and pruners!)0

Good morning, y'all! I hate days like this. I have to work both jobs (full-time one and part-time one). Had to be at 1st one at 8am, get off at 5, go straight to 2nd one by 5:15 and not get off until 10pm. UGHHHHHH I do it about 3 times a week so you think I would be used to it but I'm not. 14 hour days are killer! I also have to go right before lunch and get my bi-weekly shot. I get weighed there so I tend to not eat anything until afterwards so my eating on time is not on time! Like I said... I hate days like this.
I get to go look at a new townhouse that I'm trying to rent tomorrow. I know I'm going to like it. I just hope I can come up with the money to get into it. We HATE the place we're at right now. Sooooo can't wait to move. I hate moving so much but I'll do it just to get outta the current place. lol
I promise I'm not trying to be Negative Nancy. It just ended up being that way. lol I'm feeling good otherwise!
Have a great day!0 -

Hi Daisylee
You are so right, She had a positive attitude despite house and health issues.
She and I had been posting in the same message threads since early last year when I joined NS..

I felt bad posting bad news but I felt better to let everybody know than to have them think she just dropped out.

Hi All
On todays walk I started out later than usual so I could go to the dollar store. I picked up 10 Halloween decorations and put them up as I get ready for the holiday. They also had Christmas decorations for sale already.
Have a Good Thursday

Roger - thank you for the posting about Shirl. I always looked forward to her postings and was even able to get some menu ideas from her. I know she suffered greatly and is at peace now but she was a pleasure to have in our virtual group and will be missed.0

NS Buddies - had my weekly WI this morning and lost again - total since starting NS - 81 lbs on the nose. I am very thankful for this. I am also thankful that after my visit to the ortho surgeon on Monday morning, he agreed to schedule me for a hip replacement - coming 11/11. 27 more days of this pain and then I get to go to sleep and wake up without it - I'm stoked! I would like to congratulate all the losers and especially Daisylees's great accomplishment! I am 18 lbs away from taking a momentous picture of my WI - wish me luck!0

81 pounds is wonderful!!!!!! Congrats on the loss plus getting your new hip scheduled. Getting rid of the hip pain will promote more exercise! Awesome. Looking forward to the picture!0 -
Work is killing me...yesterday they made a template so I worked late moving all my information onto it. Worked all day today...then at 5pm, they deleted that document and posted a new template. Panicked because I lost all my work...the person who deleted it got it out of the e-trash...but again I have to move all my stuff into yet another new template!0

Hi
Took my new Inexpensive Digital Camera, $29 + Tax at Walmart, with me walking this morning. I did have to get a SD card for it so I used a 16Gb from a defunct Digital Camera that Got exposed to salt air at the shore. I have posted some images from around town and Some Halloween pictures. Feel free to add Your Own Halloween images.

Hi Val
Bev is doing good and I am sure that being pain free will help her lose faster. According to what I have heard and seen You lose faster (better?) with a good nights sleep, That includes a long enough nights sleep.hope4change_val wrote: »Work is killing me...yesterday they made a template so I worked late moving all my information onto it.

Hi Again
I am surprised that they did not have a import function to import from the old to the new?
It sounds as if You need to keep a backup locally.
Have a Nice Day

You're do right about sleep helping w weight loss ...and health in general. My normal average sleep per fitbit is 2-3 hrs. Last 2 nights I've improved to just over 4! I know, that's still not good. I try.0

Hi Val
I know I do not get as much sleep as I like either
My Little Fitbit Zip does not track sleep AFAIK.
Good Luck getting more sleep

Wogged more than 5 miles today! I'm feeling good. But, concerned about my old dog. Oscar is 10 years old, 110 lbs. Mastiff/Lab mix. He is such a love. I know that super big dogs live 9-12 years, and he made it! On our morning wog, his back left leg gave out a few times. For the evening, I only took him and the Chihuahua (leaving the younger dogs home)...again his back left gave out, but then also he stumbled repeatedly on both his front legs and stopped...just stood there. I sat down with him and petted him till he got up again. And then I walked slowly with him. When I leave him home and take the 5-year olds out without him, he cries! So, it is heartbreaking to leave him, and getting concerning to take him. I don't think I could carry him home (house is up hill from all around...great for the rain to drain away, but not so good when you want to get your hurt pup home). Doggie wheelchairs run $700 for his size...but it takes two people to get the dog into it. He is such a sweet dog. Going to take things a day at a time. We are supposed to get some rain here, so will use that as an excuse to exercise inside...and give him break from wogging.
Take care all, Val0 -
Good morning, everyone! Things have been CRAZY in my life. I'm moving Saturday! UGH! Soooo much stuff to do. Did lose a lb for my WI this morning, so I'm happy about that. But this move has me so stressed. My face is breaking out from it, but I'm not over eating. I could use a couple able bodies to help move if you feel so inclined! lol Right now it's just me, my 17 year old son, my 23 year old daughter and my 4'10" sister-in-law. This is going to be interesting. That's for sure. I put out an email to my grad students requesting help but no one has offered to help yet. UGH!
Have a great day, everyone!0 -
Hi
Temperature was showing 29 degrees on the closed in front porch when I left the house this morning, nearby town was at 23 degrees, Brrr...
I decided to shorten my walk today, 2.36 miles, when despite three layers of gloves My fingers were hurting from the cold. That would be leather gloves with a thin flannel lining and over those two layers of Brown Jersey gloves.
I picked up a coffee for my brother on the way back home. Currently the 7 Eleven refill is $1.34 which is what I paid on the outbound leg and then I got him a nice new cup and the price on that is currently $1.92 with tax down from a earlier this year $2.13.
Happy Monday

Hi Val
I am sorry to hear the bad news regarding Your Dog. I suppose You thought about looking at a garage sale for a childs wagon to take on the walks? I did not even know they made Doggie Wheelchairs.
I have seen people pick their dog up during some of my walks but they were small dogs. 110 Pounds I can see that won't work.
Good Luck

Hi Terri
Congratulations on Your Loss. It has to be hard when feeling stressed out too so that makes it doubly good.
Good Luck with the move

I am so sorry to hear about Shirl. I know she had health problems, but she also seemed active and full of life. I know she was filled with kindness and love. I am shocked, and my heart goes out to her family, and to all of you who knew her even better.
