Hi
I went walking this morning at approx 7:40 and it was 11 degrees colder than yesterday for the same time. Not to bad however, Then when my brother left at 11AM I walked up to the bank and then over to the dollar store looking for the UHT milk quarts. No Joy
Total Steps so far 14,598 as of 12:30.
Have a Nice Tuesday

Hi
I used Atkins frozen Dinners as I had a coupon for it and it looked good. I had the Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo Frozen meal. The calories are a bit higher than the NS Chicken in BBQ Baked beans @ 330 calories. 26G Protein, High Sodium @ 1070mg, 4g of fiber seems low and 9g of carbohydrates, Not unexpected as Atkins is a low Carb high protein diet plan. 9ounces weight vs the NS Chicken Alfredo, however the NS has no vegetables and lots of pasta and less chicken. The Amount of Chicken in the NS seems to be all over the place too.
Mini review. Tasty with pieces of Broccoli and several Nice sized pieces of Chicken Breast meat, slightly salty taste but I will probably buy again if I can find another $1 off coupon for one entree.
The other Atkin Entree I tried was their Beef Merlot with Broccoli. Tasty will buy again Nice quantity of Beef. 9G Carbs, 920g sodium, 3g fiber and 310 calories. 9 ounces weight
I did get out for my walk this morning, The rain has not really moved in yet
I did get drizzled on for a little while and then it stopped. 20 degrees warmer that yesterday for the same time according to the Weatherman.
Have a Nice Wednesday

Hi
When I went out walking this morning the weather was OK, Everything was wet from the rain, however the rain was gone and the temperatures were mild for February too. I was showing 50 degrees on the front porch when I left around 7:30. Tomorrow the weather is forecast to be colder with either wet snow or rain in the morning
The Walking is much easier with much of the snow melted off of the sidewalks, Yea!
I tried what was suggested with the NS Frozen Bacon Egg Cheese Muffin and microwaved it to defrost it, Then put the Muffin in the toaster, Microwaved the Egg and Canadian style bacon, Placed the cheese on the muffin after it came out of the toaster. Much better textures that way. Thank You to the person who suggested doing it that way.
Have a Great Thursday

Hi everyone it has been ages since I have posted in this thread. I have been spending most of my time in the Lose 5 NS Group. I haven't been following NS since June of 2015 as when I went to see a surgeon about my gallbladder he told me to leave NS for a high protein low carb diet so I could get closer to the 300 pound mark and then he would do my surgery. The Lose 5 NS group was nice enough to allow me to stay despite not eating NS foods. I didn't know if any of the other NS Groups would allow me to continue to post so I stayed away.
I wanted you all to know I did have my gallbladder removal, hernia repair and exploration of nodules in varies parts of my body on Jan 26th. When I went in for the surgery I had managed to get my weight down to 314. As it turns out one of the nodules was inside my stomach so the Dr had to cut part of the stomach. He told me all about this procedure before hand as he thought he might have to do it and I approved of it. So in essence I now have a much smaller stomach and have to learn to re-eat again with my new pouch.
Since surgery I have gotten down to 295 and just wanted you all to know that I have embarked on a new way of life. Unless you all feel it is ok for me to continue posting here this will be my last posting. I wanted to thank everyone who has helped encouraged me since June 2014 when I started NS at 390. There have been a lot of up and down battle but with all of your encouragement I have finally turned the corner toward better health. I Thank each and everyone of you and wish you all continued success with changing your lives for the better.0 -
Hi Belle (Amanda?)
Congratulations on Your Progress. The High Protein Low Carb sounds like the Atkins diet FWIW.
I see no problem with You posting here. As with many destinations there are many paths to them and all are valid. I often take a longer route when walking or driving for the change.
Good Luck and keep up the Good Work
Roger
P.S. I Am heading out the door for my walk now so I can be back for breakfast on time so I'm not as verbose as I wanted to be, sorry.

Hi
I am delaying my walk this morning as I want to stop by the bank and it does not open until 9AM. So Dunkin Donuts for a refill coffee, and stop at the bank later. Out the door around 8AM.
10 +/- degrees colder than yesterday at this time. Colder air in the forecast for next week and a probability of Snow Monday, maybe Tuesday and several other days in the week showing in the 7 day forecast
Have a Great Weekend

Hi
FWIW I'm back
Out the door around 8AM and back home at 9:30, 7000+ steps and 1 Penny today along with a Dime yesterday, Yea I'm getting rich walking
I just finished Breakfast, NS Pancakes & a NS Coffee Protein Shake as well as the 106gram Banana before I went for the walk. Probably a Quaker Oats Banana Bread flavor Instant Oatmeal @160 calories. Followed by a PF of CostCo Kirkland brand Canned Turkey as a PF and
either a SC of Kirkland Canned Corn that is close to its use by date or an Apple as the SC and a Steak & Cheese melt for Lunch and of course Vegetables
Have a Great Weekend

Hi
I was out walking today + 7 cents. I seem to be making covering the same distance in fewer steps and a little quicker than I was last year. I guess that's progress There were several people out walking the Dog or Jogging today, more than I usually see. I also got out again yesterday afternoon for a little while walking. Banking steps and working on extra weight loss for my next weigh in.
It was a little cold when I left, It did warm up OK as the walk progressed however. They are still saying some snow Tomorrow arriving around 5Am and maybe more from a different system Monday night into Tuesday
I was just looking at my food on hand and thinking I am heavy on Breakfasts, Lunches and Snacks. Not quite so much on Dinners. I had delayed my next order by two weeks, I am now thinking that I may delay even longer. My best guess is based on this reply last year from NutriSystem
"Here is how we make substitutions for our foods with the Day Off Guide:
Breakfast Entree = 1 PF + 1 SC
Lunch Entree = 1 PF + 1 SC
Dinner Entree = 2 PF + 1 SC
Dessert = 1 SC"
Thus It seems I could use Lunches or Breakfasts as Dinners by adding a PF easily and get my meals into balance that way. I have also noticed that the Breakfasts seem to be lower calorie overall compared to Lunches.
Have a Great Sunday

Thanks Roger I appreciate that. Thursday, Friday and Saturday I was out waking with my walker. Even though the walks wee from 15 to 45 minutes I think I may have overdone it as today I have a lot of pain underarm breast area pain. I am wondering if the pain is still from the gas they use to fill up the belly for laparscopic surgery?0 -
Hi
I was out walking + 12 Cents, a little earlier than usual due to the weather forecast showing Snow starting shortly. It was 37 Degrees this morning with a intermittent Breeze which made it feel colder when it was blowing.
I added a a little distance to my walk. I'll have to go to MapMyRun later and see how far I walked. I am with the weather forecast showing some snow today and more tonight into tomorrow from a different weather system.
Off to breakfast shortly featuring The NS Granola Cereal with Low fat UHT milk and a NS Vanilla Protein Shake. I already had a Banana before I left for my walk as Well as a Extra Large 7 Eleven Coffee where I used Decaf & Regular coffee mixed together in the cup.
Have a Great Monday

Hi Amanda (if I remember properly?)
It could also be Muscle pain from the walking. I had that from when I started walking myself. My Right Arm where I use the ersatz Walking Stick was sore for a wile. I use a Cane as a walking stick when I walk. It was here in the house so why not use it vs buying a walking stick
IMO Walking is one of the helpful things to reduce weight quicker or as an alternative it can be used to lose at the same rate of loss while increasing caloric intake.
Good Luck

Hi Amanda and Roger and folks that just read and not post,
Wow! You 2 are my heroes! Your posts inspire me to keep going. I'm not finding posts from folks with 100 to lose much less 200 to lose. I'm 105 down with 100 more to lose. Everyday is a struggle for me. I'm pushing myself to stay under 1500 but as you know it is an up hill battle. Reading your posts is a boost to my motivation.
I was really disappointed with my orthopedic doctor last week. I still need to lose 40 more pounds before he will do a knee replacement. He also suggested (this is my second opinion dr) that I do bariatric surgery. I'm not against bariatric surgery, I just don't want it for me. I'm being stubborn and want to do this without surgery and prove that it can be done. I only lost 5 pounds in January and have not weighed this week so the pressure is on. I'm not able to walk or exercise so this next 100 is fighting me with each pound.
Amanda......I'm so proud of you. NS works for me but each person has their own path to follow. As long as you are losing and feel good I think that is great. I'm glad you are here and posting. I need you in my weight loss journey. As someone who has had their gallbladder out many years ago that pain could be from your surgery on the 26th. But just look at you.....using your walker and getting the steps done.
Roger.... I always run out of breakfast, so I order additional breakfasts al la cart. I usually delay my order by 2 weeks. I have way too many lunch things because I don't care for the lunch menus and will flex with a salad. Not crazy about the dinner menu but really like the frozen foods. Usually I just put on my big girl bib and microwave a NS shelf dinner. The food really does fill me up and I do like the results.
It is cold here in NC today. Feeling blessed to be retired and have gas logs in the fireplace. Stay warm and safe!0 -
Hi
I did not go walking yet, Cold and breezy today. Temperature in the 20s as of 7AM. Forecast is for colder this weekend too. The local News12 Cable only channel just showed a overnight low for Saturday night into Sunday of 0 degrees, Last night the NYC stations were saying possible record low, The old record was I believe 2 degrees almost 100 years ago.
That will probably have an impact on my walking, especially if it is also breezy. Out the door later to the Have Taxes done for My Brother and I, Then Home, Noon Snack and go for a walk.
Have a Good Thursday

Hi Nene
I was there where You are last year with 100 pounds to lose, As of this morning I am down 216 pounds, You can do it too. I can see in the mirror that I need to lose a bit more, the doctor visit last month he said I was good where I am when I asked what should be my goal weight.
I do feel so much better and have decent mobility now so that goal is metI was really disappointed with my orthopedic doctor last week. I still need to lose 40 more pounds before he will do a knee replacement. He also suggested (this is my second opinion dr) that I do bariatric surgery. I'm not against bariatric surgery, I just don't want it for me. I'm being stubborn and want to do this without surgery and prove that it can be done.

Have You looked at the Quaker Oats Instant Oatmeal for breakfasts, it isn't bad.
FWIW The Breakfasts and Lunches are both replaceable with a SC + PF, Dinner takes two of one and one of the other and Desserts are a SC.
I find that after eating only frozen dinners and lunches for a while I do like the Shelf Stable entrees mixed in for a change. You could replace a Lunch with a serving of chicken breast and a fruit or cottage cheese & a fruit for example. Example 1/2 cup cottage cheese with a serving of drained diced pineapple mixed in to taste and the rest on the side.
Bariatric surgery in my opinion is risky and from my research when I decided to start working on my weight a over two years ago can be dangerous and often since its purpose is to force a change in eating behavior quite often fails in the long run with the surgery being done and the initial weight loss ending up being regained. When I saw that I kept looking for a better way. I had tried WW & Atkins in the past with good initial results that ended up being back where I was and then heavier. JC just looked like a pain in the neck and pricey and the reviews were not good. Most negative NS reviews I saw where from not reading or comprehending the terms as related to the Money back guarantee or needing to have two orders or if not two orders being charged for the free shipping from failing to meet the requirements.
I agree She is doing spectacular getting out with a walker. Way to go!
Do not say I only lost 5 pounds in January, it should be Yea! I lost 5 more pounds
Good Luck

Hi
FWIW I did get out walking at 2:53PM until 4:20PM and am at 8700+ steps currently. I felt it advisable not to go walking and drinking coffee before Going out of the house for a extended time
I paid the price on my walk. It was nearly the same temperature as it was around 7:15AM this morning but windier so The Wind chill was worse I am not looking forward to this weekend and may end up doing 1/2 or 1/4 normal distance walks. especially Sunday morning when it is supposed to hit around zero + any windchill factor. I did find 31 cents yesterday, nothing today however.
Have a Good Evening

Hi
I did better today than yesterday, I got out early before 8AM, 8100+ steps currently, Despite the temperature being colder than yesterday at 15 degrees it was more comfortable due to a much lower breeze so the wind chill was warmer. This upcoming weekend the forecast is for a windchill in the -15 to -25 degree range for this area. Since that is getting into a danger range for frostbite I may stay home or do a much shorter than usual walk
I picked up Bananas and a head of lettuce on the way back home. I would have picked up more except that I did it on the spur of the moment and therefore was not wearing my backpack as well as being worried that the lettuce might freeze on the way home.
I was listening to music from the 50s, 60, and 70s as a change of pace from listening to "The Shadow" radio shows form 1946 for the last week or so.
Have a Great Friday

Hi
based on the weather report on our local News12 Cable only channel I decided to go walking today early before the Temperatures dropped and the wind picked up. +5 cents, then as a I was walking the wind picked up and it started snowing, I was headed into the wind at that portion of my route so I reversed course and headed for home, The streets and sidewalks had enough snow on them to cover them. I was passing the Dollar Store at opening time so I went in a picked up a quart of 1% UHT milk for shelf stock. $1 for the quart size, dated use by January 5, 2017 Even with the warmup in the dollar store My fingers were getting cold by the time I got home.
Given that the forecast for Sunday shows wind chills in the -10 to -25 degree range for my area, Worse to the north FWIW, I have decided to set up the coffee maker tonight for tomorrow mornings coffee. My Brother picked up a can of 1/2 regular and 1/2 decaf coffee for me. Since I drink 24 ounces of coffee that is one way to cut down on caffeine.
Have a Good Saturday

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. Still better than paying $100 for $100 of NS.
Have a Good Sunday, Valentines Day

Hi Again
I walked after I posted early this morning It drizzled a couple of times and after I was home home the skies opened up and it poured with high wind gusts. Then it ended this afternoon and I was out walking again as I was a little under on @ 7K+ steps + 1 cent, now I'm over @ 12K steps.
there was some slush and puddles this morning so I wore the insulated waterproof boots, this afternoon it was fine just a few puddles I could easily avoid.
Cheers

Thanks for the words of encouragement. All my life my weight has been an issue for me since I was 12 years old. I can't tell you the number of diets I have been on, the pounds I lost and always gained back including NS twice. The first time I lost with NS was back in 2006 lost about 90 pounds in 10 months gained it all back but 12. The second time in Jan 2014 to June 2015 my body being older and more abused only dropped 38 pounds in the 16 months. When I went to the Dr with the Gallbladder and Hernia problems and than we discovered the nodule and he said he had to cut out part of the tummy to get to the nodule I was scared too. However over the course of the 6 months I saw him he explained the surgeries in detail. Half of what he said I didn't understand but that was ok, I knew he knew what he had to do and that is all that mattered to me. I trusted him and knew he had better health for me in store. I had to have several session with a Psych to as this was 3 procedures I was going to have. I never had surgery before of any kind and all sorts of fears popped into my head. However as the time got closer I was positive about the renewed health I would have as was not afraid of the surgeries. I was relieved that the nodule was discovered and that with it gone and part of my tummy gone I will finally be able to lose the weight and regain my health with a lot of hard work on my part too. I had no complications from the surgeries and I credit that to the wonderful Dr I had. He does all kinds of surgery on obese people not just Weight Loss Surgery. Turns out the shoulder pain I had was gas pains. I am on a new journey and looking forward to all it has to offer. In fact I am so convinced I will get healthier I have my eyes set on doing a Bike challenge in Feb 2017.
Yes I have to learn a new way of eating. Protein first before any other foods and small bites and nothing to drink while I am eating. But these are behaviors I was working on during the 6 months I was seeing the Dr. The best thing about having this smaller tummy is that he took the hunger hormone out. I have no desire to eat, I am eating as I know I need to keep up my strength and must keep my muscles as I lose the fat. By following the food program, and exercising the weight will come off and this time it will not come back as it has numerous times in the past. If you or anyone else has any questions please feel free to email me. I will be happy to answer them.
Nene You have lost a huge amount and I am so happy for you. 105 pounds off of your body is helping you do some many things you probably couldn't do before. With continuing to follow the food plan and doing even chair exercises the rest will come off. Once the knee is fixed and you can do more physical things and exercise you will have a renewed sense of wanting to get and stay healthier. I still have a long journey ahead, about another 140 pounds. However I all ready know this time I will never get back up to 497 ever again.
We are friends on the site so let's email and support each other so we can both get the knee surgeries we so badly need. I am here for you and anyone else that needs the support.0 -
Hi
I was walking again this morning + 13 Cents, One dime and three corroded pennies
It was 10 degrees colder outside than yesterday morning, however it was actually more comfortable with no wind chill today.
I walked over to the Quick Chek near the Auto repair shop we use and then looped a little further out before returning home. I dropped off a can of Caramel Corn my brother bought from a Boy Scouts Fund Raising drive and a Decent size box of Chocolate candy that was left over from Christmas as two Salt and Vinegar Snack-A-Rounds from NutriSystem than neither of us could eat due to the taste. The Candy is left over as we always have a couple of generic wrapped presents under the tree in case a visitor brings a present, that way we also have one. After a brief discussion we concurred that getting both of the temptations out of the house would be better for losing weight Why the Auto Repair Shop? They take good care of us and often do little things with no charge.
Much better weather forecast for the weekend, 50s by day and mid to upper 30s overnight, Yea!
Have a Great Friday

Hi Amanda
I know what You mean, even in school I was somewhat overweight. I suspect most if not all of us here have tried many different diet plans.
I tried WW, It worked initially and then even with staying within their guidelines the structure allowed me to eat too many WW Desserts and not enough healthy foods and then the weight cam back Plus extra. I tried Atkins, once again a initial success then Plateau and gain. Same results with a self formulated plan Doctor prescribed drugs worked for a while and as soon as I was off, the weight gain was on. NutriSystem has been the most successful, long term streak of losses and I believe I have learned a lot regarding eating better.
Hmmm, Shoulder pain from Gas pain, Interesting to know.
I find it interesting that You have no appetite.
OTOH Congratulations on eating anyway to keep healthy.
Keep up the Good Work

Hmmm, Shoulder pain from Gas pain, Interesting to know.
Yes Roger when they do laparoscopic surgeries they blow up your belly so they can move the instruments around. The Dr said he would get most of that stuff out but some remains. You just have to take care of the rest naturally by walking and various sounds effects. However some was trapped in me resulting in severe lower back shoulder pain for about 10 days. Once I was able to start eating again even though it was only an egg that food helped to get the gas out.
Yep when they took out the nodule by cutting the tummy the Dr also took out the Ghrelin cells which cause you to not have an appetite.0 -
Hello friends- back on the boards after a long hiatus. I am back on track with my program as well- dropped .6 this week and looking to re-lose about 20 lbs gained over the course of the past few months. Lots a reasons and excuses but that doesn't matter as I still have to do the work so time to get moving! And with my new hip!!Have a great weekend - stay true to your plans! Bev0

Hi

One more week to make changes to my upcoming order before it closes to changes at 6PM next Sunday the 28th.
Have a Good Weekend

Yep when they took out the nodule by cutting the tummy the Dr also took out the Ghrelin cells which cause you to not have an appetite.
Hi Amanda
I never heard of those cells, You would think that they would be on the list of "Miracle" surgeries for weight loss. I can also see where no appetite could be dangerous to a persons health so be Careful.
I gurgle enough from the Sugar substitutes in the NS foods
Have a Nice Saturday
RogerHello friends- back on the boards after a long hiatus. I am back on track with my program as well- dropped .6 this week and looking to re-lose about 20 lbs gained over the course of the past few months. Lots a reasons and excuses but that doesn't matter as I still have to do the work so time to get moving! And with my new hip!!Have a great weekend - stay true to your plans! Bev
Hi Bev
Welcome back
.6 lost is a decent loss. My loss has slowed down as the weight left to lose decreased.
Good Luck

Hi
I went back out for a short walk yesterday afternoon to pick up something at one of the dollar stores that I had forgotten to get at the Acme. 14.5K total steps.
Today is slightly cooler but OK + 1corroded penny. 8.5k steps so far including another drive to the Acme. They had water on sale with a limit of two. I also picked up a organic Gummi Worms today and a organic Gummi Bears yesterday as they were free. They will will be dropped off somewhere as the price was right. I also picked up some Michelinas entrees at 4 for $5, and some Lean Cuisine whose statistics looked OK. They were 5 for $10 for some and $2.49 for others of a upscale Lean Cuisine. The Macaroni & Beef I had for dinner last night was tasty too, so I picked up a couple more today as well as other flavors. The carbohydrates are a little high, OTOH looking at some Shelf Stable NS Entrees I see 30g to 37g so I can work them in by dropping one of the two Clementines I add as a SC
Classic Macaroni & Beef

With the Frozen Entrees I picked up I am back in balance on meals as it was dinners I was light on so I think I will delay my order further.
Have a Great Week

Hi
I just tried a lean Cuisine Baked Chicken Dinner, further information in the Food Reviews section shortly, here: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/105887-ns-food-reviews
I walked 8.2K Steps and one badly corroded penny. The Penny was found when I walked down the sidewalk on the opposite side of the street from the one I usually walk on
Light Rain already, It started less than an hour after my walk, so I got that in before the rain.
I also swung past the Produce Store and picked up Bananas, a decent size 99 cent Strawberries, three Nectarines and three Pears all to be used as SCs. The Lettuce was small and light in weight so I passed it by as at 89 cents it still was no bargain. I would rather pay more an get a good quality and size head of Lettuce.
Have a Nice Tuesday

Hi
I decided to go walking this morning, when I got up the local Cable news channel showed a break in the weather and it looked OK, Just wet outside so I togged up in a complete head to toe Frogg Toggs and went walking. When I left the house it was just a fine mist, intermittent slightly heavier rain but not to bad actually. I covered my normal distance 7-Eleven Coffee powered
The weather forecast is for heavier rain later on into early Thursday, Since I have two more days of frozen vegetables on hand I have decided to CostCo it on Friday. Friday will be Frozen vegetables and paper goods day from there.
I will be adding a mini review of The Lean Cuisine Comfort line Pot Roast to the NS food reviews section, link to that section is: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/105887-ns-food-reviews
Have a Nice Wednesday

Hi
Interesting article linked here
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/science-news/12170702/Eat-in-the-dark-to-lose-weight-say-scientists.html
Eat in the dark to lose weight, say scientists
Volunteers ate nearly 10 per cent less ice-cream when blindfolded, and believed they had eaten far more.
An experiment by the University of Konstanz, in Germany, found that people who were blindfolded consumed nine per cent fewer calories before they felt full, compared to those who could see.
“This may provide an unobtrusive and naturalistic means to change the experience of eating behaviour."
Dr Britter Renner, University of Konstanz
They also vastly overestimated how much they had eaten because they could not see how much was left on the plate. Blindfolded volunteers estimated they had eaten 88 per cent more than they actually had.
More in the article
A interesting read. For some people this may be all they need to lose weight

Hi
The Weather cleared up overnight, No More rain, Lightening or Thunder. Still some gusty wind, but warm in the 50s so I did go walking and Buy more Florida Strawberries @$0.99 for a one pound box and a head of 79 cent Lettuce as I neared the end of my walk by the Produce Store. On the One road i walked on that crosses a small brook it was swollen and spread out all over and the road was closed where it was flooded. Some parts of NJ had up to 3 inches of rain and Wind gusts over 50MPH.
I'll be updating the Food Reviews with a Mini Review of the Lean Cuisine Comfort Line Chicken Marsala & Risotto @210 calories in the food review section here:

Hi
It was and still is gusty out this morning. Wind chill in the 20s when I left for my walk, Some calm periods and then a gust of wind that You have to either let push You or lean into.
I'm home from CostCo and my earlier walk, 8200+ steps, 2 Bags of Normandy Mix, French Green Beans, Stir Fry vegetables to try, Yogurt, and Chicken Breast on Skewers 150 calories for 2 skewers to try out and 2 10 packs of Kleenex. I use a lot of them when walking at this time of the years from the cold air.
That makes two weeks + of Greek Yogurt, a month or more of Frozen vegetables and some proteins. Plenty of fruit on hand too. No need to shop for a couple of weeks now
More LC reviews coming, Todays is the Chicken Fettuccine and maybe today or tomorrow I will be trying the LC Steak Portobello Dinner for lunch, at 160 calories it should work well and will make a change from the NS lunches.
Have a Good Friday

Hi
It is not to bad outside despite being cold, Less wind so OK to walk in.
Dinner with my Brother and a Friend at a Chinese Buffet Friday Evening, Where the selection is large and tasty
The Chicken Broccoli was close enough to OP, However the extra Sesame Chicken, General Tso's Chicken, Pizza, Ham Slice and Carrot Cake puts it way off from On Plan.
Today I am expecting to be back to 100%
Have a Nice Saturday
