***Much more Ice-fog in these parts - everything is so covered with frost it appears as though there’s a thick coat of white hair growing off the trees. Temps will be heading down to -10F here and predicted to reach -40 to -50 not too far away in the interior of Alaska. I have my car plugged in at night with a block heater to keep the oil viscose so I can get to work in the mornings.***
No kidding about the ice fog! I was driving to Anchorage a couple of days ago and all I did was drive in and out of it. I will tell ya though, the ice fog is so pretty at night! One year, I thought I was going to be a tough girl and not put studs on my car...

Did an hour of a step DVD today. The plan for tomorrow is to do an ultimate weight training and cardio DVD.
gotu - what I do is during the day I write down on a piece of paper what I ate, then I record everything. If I didn't do it this way, I know that I'd forget something and not log it. There have been times when I really did forget something and because I had it written down I logged
Alison - feel better fast
cat - just because you had 2 Krispy Kreme donuts, don't give up the whole day! Log it, you might find that you can come close or not go over on your calories for the day. Where do you live? My daughter lives in Reston
Well ladies...I have two problems. One thing is that I went shopping yesterday. I got so much fruit that I can't fit it all in the fruit drawer. The other is that I have so many DVD's that I'm finding that they're falling to the back. What to do???? I know, I know...these aren't big problems, as a matter of fact, they are good problems to have.
It was 70 so Vince and I took the rest of the Christmas decorations in, then I helped him arrange (or start to) things in the garage(s)
Betsy - that's what this forum is all about! sharing
Loved all the pictures. Everyone looks so wonderful
Joyce - I'm so sorry to hear about your friend

Shannon - its really so pretty I love it but seriously slippery stuff - no doubt! I hope you suffered no injury from the slip into the ditch.
The newspaper had some really great pics posted today https://www.adn.com/slideshow/alaska-news/anchorage/2017/01/12/fog-cold-temperatures-have-created-perfect-conditions-for-a-frosty-anchorage/

Call me crazy but I love to see other people happy and succeeding .
Good Evening My Dear Friends,
I’m still purposely not responding to anyone individually so I can try to keep up. I’m still spending some time most days at my friend’s house for one reason or another but hopefully that will end soon. The movers come Monday to pick up her things we are sending and then I’ll decide what to do with what’s left.
I’m trying to make arrangements for new flooring to get the house ready to rent. I’ve shown it a few times but about ready to turn it over to a realtor. I’ll still oversee any improvements and/or repairs but won’t have to be involved in trying to rent it.
I’m loving all the pictures. I congratulate all of you with victories and NSVs and send (((Hugs))) to all with struggles. Be brave and hang in there and know we are all here supporting you.
to any Newbies. Come often and join in the chat. This thing works!! Please sign your post with what you want to be called. It makes it easier for us to respond to you. Also a location is great, be it specific or general. We are happy to have you join us.
Sending love, good thoughts and sunshine to all of you.
I Love you

Does anyone have pedals under their desk? I bought some a few years ago and somehow they wound up outside. I think I cleaned them and forgot to bring them back in. Anyway I sit at a computer all day, so I brought them back in and I pedal while I work. Just wondering if you've tried it? Do you think it's doing any good? I only log the pedaling if I consciously time it. I cant imagine its too different from stationary or recumbent biking.2

Joyce, in cold Indiana: So sorry to see you have lost a friend. So happy to see he did not have to linger long in hospice. I hope his friends and family got a chance to say their good-byes.
Lenora was describing Chicago med in her post. I think that what happened in Code Black is that Rollie decided to have the brain surgery after all and what we were seeing did not in fact happen at the hospital but was what he was seeing/dreaming while in surgery. In the end it turned out that what we were seeing as an episode was actually pretty much what happened in his life when he was younger so I think he had those "dreams" because of the questions he was being asked during surgery. I also think what happened in the episode was not "real" because the events so closely mirrored Rollie's life. That's why I'm voting on "it was all a dream."

Caught up! Whew this month trying to keep up is like a reading marathon! Don't have to much to say tonight except it's Friday! Tomorrow going shopping with both of my daughters for next weekend's wedding of one of my grandsons. Really looking forward to spending time with them.
Ding ding ding - NSV - when I started on this journey at 350lbs I was wearing size 30-32 pants. Yesterday I bought size 24 and they are still big in the waist (it's just my normal shape - always much smaller waist than hips) Wonder what size I will end up wearing this time next year?!
Talk to you all tomorrow.
Love to all.

BTW - I'm sure that all of you Southern Ladies in Georgia are going to be nice to our Seattle Seahawks while they visit your state and OBLITERATE your football team!!! GO HAWKS!!!!!

Hey Ladies
I'm definitely not caught up with you all but this is as close as it gets tonight.
Heather - Wow! 3 years at maintenance. I hope to achieve that one day.
Barb in Edmonton - Sounds like you are having an excellent jump start
Pip - That man of yours! Swooning over here. Floyd the pup is also a real cutie.
Cheri - Amazon really does sell everything.
Canookie - The story about your parrot was very funny.
Clarebare 60 - Going through best cancer is no small thing, cut yourself some slack.
Chris in MA - Nice holiday nails.
Becca - I am sorry that your sister is not communicating. It hurts.
Allie - Sending you positive thought.
Work continues to be difficult. It is a bit better there. Creating 3 contests and reinstating the Social Committe
seems to help some.
Serious discussions with my DGS, It seems like he is moody and withdrawn a lot of the time. We played Scrabble on Thursday. My only regret that Ryan took over. I do love that game.
Currently reading The Year of No Sugar. I would like to give it a shot. My poison is sugar/chocolate. I think it would be worth it.
Shredding continues. Day care at the Y in 1989 was $40/month. That was with the subsidy.
My sister phoned me. Her cat is dead. 1 month with her and the cat is gone. She let Skittles go in the sewing room. I think he ate thread or something. She told me that she can't come to my DGD's party because she is ordering something in tomorrow night. It actually sounded like she didn't want to worry about a gift . I was upset with her but got over it.
Chinook is here but still cold in the wind.

Hi all!
Woke up at 5.15 with holiday nerves. Quite pleased I've got this far before they've cut in. I will start packing today as that always helps me and make "to do" lists. I'm worrying about the house as well. Got to leave it in viewing condition. I also worry about leaks and power cuts. However, I will do what I can go assuage my fears and then leave the rest to fate.
I'm like this every time we take a big holiday, especially long haul. I'm always fine once I've got to the airport.
Thanks for listening. I'm going to have to reread my Daily Stoic book.
Love Heather UK xxxxxxx6 -
