    Hi

    E, better to be safe than sorry.

    Roger, do't use the computer for watching anything so it doesn't't apply. Mostly mail and banking, etc.
    Did you hear that Burger King is going to start selling hot dogs?

    Tomorrow make the long trek to Hollywood vet so may not log on.

    Take care

    Good morning.
    Good luck at the vet's, Lynmar. You are so good taking care of all those pups. I'm happy not to have the responsibility of pets any longer.
    It's cold and windy this morning.
    I just have my painting class (about 10 minutes from home) and a few local errands to run, so not bad at all. :)
    Have a good day, everyone. :)

    Hi Lynmar
    I had not heard that. If I have a craving for a Hot Dog I have several Texas Weiners and Jimmy Buffs, Chilli Dogs or Italian Hot Dogs Greasy goodness, fried in the same vat with Potatoes, Onions and Peppers on a 1/4 or 1/2 Round Italian Bread, Mustard to taste.

    I think the car will take a while to warm up on the way to get the taxes done today, I think I'll wear gloves until it does :)

    Enjoy the Painting class

    Ha-ha...oh, my! I could never eat anything like that! (I do keep light hot dogs in the freezer, in case I get a yearning for one!)
    Have a good night, everyone. :)

    Hi Vix
    They are fattening and greasy but oh so tasty, Maybe when I hit Maintenance I will get a Single, The one pictured is a double, a single is 1/2 the size of that one. They also do them in Italian Sausage and a double with a single portion of Sausage and a Hot Dog (Combo).

    I have never been able to replicate the taste making one at home even when I get the same bread from the Italian Deli a few blocks away.

    Right now I have the Hebrew National 97% fat free hot dogs in the freezer @ 45 calories each. Hmm.. Maybe I'll do one or two with a touch of ketchup on a slice of whole wheat bread for my mid morning snack or the Lunch Protein & Carb.

    Today was tolerable, tomorrow and Sunday are what I'm afraid of.

    Have a Nice Day

    Roger, those are the hot dogs I usually buy too. I haven't bought any in a while because I mostly stay away from processed foods....but occasionally. :wink:
    It wasn't too bad out today, although I wouldn't want to go for a walk and tomorrow is supposed to be frigid. Sunday and Monday looks about the same temps as today here, with a forecast of snow for Monday. But then it looks like it's going back up into the 40s on Tuesday. I remember winters with days on end in the teens and single digits, so this is not so bad to get a few days of it.
    I had a nice massage this afternoon, with a heated blanket and hot rocks. Very soothing. :)

    Hi Vix
    The ones I heated were in the freezer for several months and were fine. I had 3 left in the package when I pulled them out yesterday. I usually use 2 at a time, 7 in the package. They made a nice change. I put them both on one slice of bread with some ketchup and folded the bread into a sandwich for them. Nice and tasty too. The one that is left I can not decided, Ketchup and No Sugar added 0 calorie relish or a 1/2 slice of Velveeta at 20 calories for a cheese dog :)

    I would agree with You saying this isn't so bad except it is interfering with my exercising :(

    Stay Safe and warm

    Yep, definitely not a good day for a walk...it's also very windy here to go along with the chill. I will find things to do inside or go to a mall to walk around. :)

    Hi

    I still have soup almost every day for lunch but occasionally just need to get out of the house. Endocrinologist said to stay away from beef and thought the hot dog would be a good change. I haven't had one for ages. I like BK's cherry vanilla Coke Zero so head there a lot.

    E, the animals are what keeps me going. Don't know what I would do without them.

    Still tired from roof work and working in the house.

    Have a good day.

    I can see that, Lynmar. My daughter is dog sitting this weekend for some friends...we became a little attached last time she watched Maggie, so she brought her by for a visit today. She is the sweetest little dog. I'm sure if I kept her for any period of time, I would want to keep her.
    Soup is great in this kind of weather. I need to make another pot, finished up the last batch yesterday.
    Get some rest. :)
    We needed to get out today....just went to the mall and walked around.

    Hi
    It is cold out there this morning in NJ, in a nearby town local cable News12 channel is showing 2 degrees there, with a wind chill of -16 and a temperature at their studios of 1 degree at 8AM. No walking for me today. Tomorrow looks as if I will be going out later than usual too to give the Overnight temperatures a chance to warm up.

    Not too much planned for today except to work on staying warm.

    I have added the latest new foods I just saw available from NutriSystem here, 2 Frozen Dinners and a Shelf Stable Lunch Bar.
    http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/105887-ns-food-reviews

    I keep checking to see if the CostCo NutriSystem Gift cards are back on sale, no luck so far this year. I have enough for the upcoming order, if they do not I will have to pick them up at the $79.99 for $100 face value and hope they go on sale while I can get the price break on that purchase. Still better than paying $100 for $100 of NS.

    Have a Good Sunday, Valentines Day

    Hi Vix
    You may notice that I reposted myself from another thread :) Due to the weather portion and the Link to the newest NutriSystem Foods.

    The wind was why i went out a little after 7AM yesterday. It still was not that nice.

    I also declined my brothers off to go outside today when (if) he goes to the supermarket :)

    Hi Lynmar
    I see on the news that Burger King is trying out hot dogs in several stores, I wonder how that will work out.

    I do like the NS Lunch Soups.

    Good morning!
    Snow and ice here, just an inch or so for now, but looks very slippery and is supposed to continue , turning to rain tomorrow.
    I made spaghetti squash and sauteed shrimp last night. Today looks like another good day to make some soup...I think I will be creative with some veggies. :)

    Hi Vix
    The roads and sidewalks were good this morning. I did have a Nice warm NS Cinnamon Roll for breakfast and then for my
    midmorning break I ended up with a cup of oatmeal as I felt like something warm. I had laid out a NS Honey Wheat Muffin, Oatmeal and NS Sweetened O's to choose from.

    I am undecided for lunch at this time. I am deciding between a NS Melt or Grilled Chicken Sandwich or NS Homestyle Chicken Soup or NS Beans & Ham Soup or NS Cheddar Broccoli. For Dinner I am thinking one of my NS Pasta Fagioli Soup which seems to be discontinued or the NS Frozen Sweet & Sour Chicken on rice entrees. I decided to just wing it a for a few months and not count the calories as long as I stay on plan with the NS foods and add ins it seems to be working.

    Have a Good Monday

    I'm eating lots of veggies. Had veggies for breakfast, a big salad for lunch (I put in some avocado and black eyed peas and feta cheese), and am making veggie soup for dinner...may put some kind of protein in there...maybe cut up some hot dogs or add some cheese to the base, whatever. Been drinking tea....makes it cozier inside. :)
    Glad your winging it is working. :) I'm pretty tired of counting everything. I'd like to wing it for a while, probably could, as long as I stick to my healthy foods and no treats.
    Roads are looking really slick now...that layer of icy snow all over it. Glad I don't have to go anywhere.
    Have a good evening, everyone. :)

    Hi

    Stay warm up there E and Roger. Maybe catch a flight down here to warm up. :) It's supposed to be 81 tomorrow before another front comes thru. Rainy today and tomorrow.

    I went to my foot doctor today and he said if the rest of my body cooperates I can walk again. Now to tell my knee and back to cooperate too. :) Went to Walmart Market for food and walked up and down all the aisles.

    Take care.

    Hi Vix
    It is so nice to be able to sit inside looking out at bad weather.

    So far so good, scale showed me down this morning.
    The hard part of winging it if You are not using something like the NS foods is not eating too much.
    You are creative in Your cooking so it could work well.

    Good Luck

    That sounds like it could be AC weather.

    It sounds as if You are getting better from what the foot doctor said and the walking around Walmart.

    Good morning!
    Rainy and windy this morning....looks like most of the snow is gone from driveway and sidewalks, some slush left. Schools are closed, but may call up and see if we can get into our clay area and do some work. The Sr. Center should be opening at 10.
    Glad it's warming up, it's already in the 40s.
    Have a good day. :)

    Hi

    E, I hope you were able to do clay work.

    Roger, keep up the good work.

    Just had a Lean Pockets jalapeño chicken with pretzel bread. Only 260 calories so not bad. Think that they forgot to stuff it though. :'(

    Down to 50's tonight.

    Have a good day.

    The rain from this morning finally let up and the sun is shining. I did go and work with some clay. Mostly just working on a few pieces I had already started. I hope they run the kiln this week. It's always fun to see how things come out. :)

    Hi Lynmar
    I look at the NutriSystem Melts as a form of the hot pockets.
    I used to pick up hot pockets at the 7-Eleven if I did not have anything else for lunch to take to work.
    It would be nice if they packed the NS melts with a crisper sleeve :)
    The local Dollar store has frozen Been & been with cheese sandwiches wrapped in a Burrito,
    Large enough for two meals each. Enough Calories for two meals also.

    They Sell Cheeseburger sliders also that more or less work as a Lunch. What I do with those if I buy them is
    discard 1/2 bun from both of them to save empty calories then are a better match for a NS lunch and a lot cheaper too.

    Have a Nice Night

    Hi Vix
    So You ended up with sun too :)
    Temps were in the high 50s earlier. The noon News weather said that the heavy rain was moving at 70 MPH.
    That is moving and also explains why it got out of here so fast.

    Good Luck with the Clay. To avoid kiln fees and waiting is why my brother had a kiln for his wife.
    When he sold the house he donated it to a charity that could use it and they were happy to get it too.
    They even came and took it out of the basement. Strangely to me he could not find anybody interested in the Piano.

    Have a Good Evening
    Roger

    I don't have kiln fees because it's the Sr. Center, but we do have to wait for them to fire things, and I think they just use one temperature whether it's greenware or bisque, so it's not the best, but since I'm just learning/teaching myself, it's fine. :)
    I was able to give away my piano by putting it on Craig's list. It would have cost more for me to move it than the piano was worth. There were a few people interested. I was glad someone could come and get it and get some use out of it. I do miss it sometimes.
    Have a good night, everyone. :)

    Hi Vix
    Even though I haven't played since I was in grade school I sort of hated getting rid of our Piano here in the house/ However
    it was taking up a fair amount of Living room space and was a dust collector too. We found someone to come take it away also.

    Have a Nice Easy Day

    Hi Lynmar

    Hi

    Just a short note.

    Roger, I used to like the NS melts a lot. They, the lasagnas and pizzas were my favs. :)

    E, glad you got to do your clay. I think of you every time I see Face Off.

    Went to eye dr today. Need cataract surgery as soon as my pocketbook recovers a little from dog surgery and house repairs.

    Have a good day.

    Lynmar...so sorry...it always seems like something medical waiting for you. Hope you're feeling ok.
    I'm getting a little cold, not bad so far. I have my painting and drawing class this morning, then a stop off at the library and then off to the rheumatologist this afternoon. Busy day.
    The sky is blue and the sun is shining, so even though it's cold outside, I'm happy.
    Have a great day. :)

    Hi Lynmar
    I like the Pizzas too, I have been liking the Margherita pizza more than previously. I do not know if it was reformulated
    or just a shift in my tastes.

    I am sorry to hear about Your eyes. Vision & hearing are things I worry about future problems occurring to.
    Good Luck and I hope You can get it done soon. Every family member that had it done came out really well.

    I Hope You have a good Day Too

    Supposed to get up to 40F today! Sun is peeking out through clouds.
