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

Good Luck maintaining over the Holiday and I hope You have a good trip.

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

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

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.0 -

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.

Can't even think about shoveling snow.
Good news, drum roll please, my weigh in is:
