Morning gang. We got about 5 or 6 inches this morning. That's the most in a couple of years.its going to hit below zero the next few days. It seems that hell has actually frozen over.
Bacon is gone. I cooked 7 pounds last weekend, and it lasted exactly 7 days. I keep meaning to weigh it before cooking and after. I've always been curious about how much less it weighs when cooked.
QOTD: When I was a kid I had some kind of cereal for breakfast every day. Since then, I eat lunch and dinner food for breakfast. About the only time I have a traditional breakfast is if we go out to eat really early.

Morning gang. We got a dusting of snow last night, but the weekend is supposed to be 40 and rainy. Then down to the single digits next week. Brrr.
Eating has been decent. I made us porkchops last night. I hadn't tried them in about 10 years. It didn't go well either time. Porkchops and pasta are on my no-fly list.
QOTD: Mostly at home, but i still like going to the theater. JB and I will go now and then, and I have a BFF that i'll go to a movie with that JB won't like.
Have a great weekend!

We get several cats, racoon families, a couple of possums, and two different species of skunks. It's the wild kingdom out here.

Afternoon all. Sorry I've been absent for a few days. My activities get away from me and I forget.
I love the cat and dog story. Two nights ago we went to bed forgetting to close the garage door. We've got a ring camera out there, so I checked it first thing, to make sure we had no unwanted visitors. Turns out, we did. A neighborhood cat we've named Butterscotch came in, went up to the attic, and came back down at 1 am. Cheeky little *******
QOTD: I would rather deal with whichever one wasn't pissed off.
Here's a picture of Butterscoth coming down from the attic.

Hi gang. Nothing really new to report. I've had a good daily routine since the first of the year, and that helps control eating. It's nice to see days get a wee bit longer.
QOTD: Beef. I like all the others, but I have beef most often.
Have a great weekend, all.

It's good to see you. I'm sorry to hear about your mom. But it sounds like she's being well cared for.

Morning all. Seems like an ordinary day here. JB is working from home. But her dad ended up back in the hospital yesterday. He'll get moved from the tiny local hospital to the bigger medical center, so we need to wait and see. I'll keep you posted.
Eating is on track. I had too much cheese yesterday, but calories were in line.
QOTD: everything i want to eat i have already eaten. I have no bucket list foods. More of the same, please.

I've known folks to soak pet paws in water and Epsom salts to help with the salt burn.

Morning gang. It's really cold here, but there isn't a cloud in the sky. I mind the cold less if it isn't also gray and dreary. Other than that, nothing is really going on. Nice and quiet.
I'm a little surprised, when I stop to think about it, by how much time folks put into food prep. Every once in a great while I will bake something. But as far as meals go, I think I average about a minute per meal doing actual work. I'm really simple. Or so I've been told.
QOTD: I do all sorts of crafts and things. I love working with my hands, and my head. I love figuring out all the little problems, shortcuts, and history of things. There's very little I wouldn't be interested in trying. Which feels odd, because it's exactly the opposite of how I eat.

Morning gang. Happy birthday LG, and thanks for starting us off. And happy belated birthday to Julia S.
I'm really lucky that I don't drink any calories at all. Even the extras that folks add to coffee add up to a lot, and alcohol can be a big culprit. And they don't make us any less hungry. I'm glad it's one less thing I have to fight.
QOTD: We've got a couple of classes we're taking this year, but other than that we don't have any plans. This past year, especially the fall, was really busy. I'm sure we'll find plenty to keep us busy.

Afternoon gang. Thanks for starting us Melody. It's a thankless job, and I'm glad you do it.
Regular routine here, just the way I like it.
I know a lot of you are getting snow and ice. It's just cold here. It might even be too cold to snow.
QOTD: More often than not I have a Quest bar for lunch. It's an easy go-to, and a controlled serving of calories. If we're out somewhere it's probably a burger.

Morning gang. I have absolutely no idea what day of the week it is. Hopefully next week will feel "regular." This has been very abnormal.
I hope you are all well, and have a great weekend.
Here's a picture of the Rockefeller Center christmas tree, from our trip.

Morning gang. We had a really nice time in New York. But wow, was it crowded. All the streets around Times Square were closed off, and just shoulder-to-shoulder with a million people. Just crazy. We drove back yesterday, and it was nice to be home. JB is working half a day today, and I'm meeting her at a fancy Boston restaurant for High Tea. It's her mom's birthday. I suggested Burger King as an alternative, but was shot down. What's fancier than royalty?
QOTD: I'm fairly happy with my routine. I've been doing pretty well reining in my eating when it's too high for too long. In a perfect world it would never get too high. But at this point I have to accept it will never be perfect.
Happy New Year to all!

Hi gang. Late post for me. We've been wandering around New York city all day. A quick break and we're going out to dinner. The crowds here are bananas. It's like three football stadiums emptied out into the streets all at once.
QOTD: I always have goals, but I've never tied them to the New Year. I'd just like to end this year at the same weight I'm starting it.
we always had a lot of returnees in OH in January. I wouldn't be surprised to see some, still.

Hi gang. Thanks for starting us again. I'm still getting through holiday leftovers. They'll be gone tomorrow. Huzzah!
QOTD: besides being humongous, i was already on metformin for Type 2 diabetes. They told me I was going to need insulin before much longer. One of my primary WLS goals was to be off all meds. As soon as I got home from surgery my blood sugars were normal. It was pretty miraculous.
