Actually ate dinner with the husband at 5. Salmon and mixed veggies, the Italian frozen blend. He had brown rice too. Always have big bag of frozen salmon fillets around.
Reading over & over that calories are more efficiently metabolised during the day.
Dang! I love eating nights.
The Switch author is crazy about macadamia nuts. Shocked to see the going rate is $20 a pound. So are they gold dusted or what?
Down to 120, but based upon past experience, it will not stick. Will bounce up before settling in.
Extremely impressed by book the Switch and considering radically changing my diet, but keeping with the calorie restriction and intermittent fasting. Much good science in this book. Discusses groups of ppl who have little or no cancer/cvs disease etc etc. Most diet based, but one group has genetic defects which mimic IF/CR.
Ordered sack of soy beans form Amazon, Walmart doesn't have them and I don't want to run around town and risk exposures. Ideal food! Cooked them before, but not for years. Will eat with vegetables , probably the mixed frozen ones with carrots, broccoli, cauliflower & zucchini.
Here is Rocky's new crush. Frankie is jealous!
Progress as of today: 14 lbs lost so far, only 10 lbs to go!
My boys!
Front yard!
managed to catch market lows. made a tidy profit and purchased 10 more acres for a wildlife sanctuary in Colorado. They care for all kinds of big cats, bears, wolves etc. they are in a lease to own agreement for 10K acres. About 80% paid for already.
Starving. fasted until 3PM and shoved a few ravioli in my mouth while fixing the husband's diner plate.
I am beside myself! DOW way the hell up based upon news of promising Covid vaccine. Sold maybe 110K premarket, mostly VTI (total market ETF), some cruise lines and air lines.
BUT! Want to sell more and can't log on to any of 3 accounts: TD, Vanguard & Merrill. Circuits overloaded. Big sell off! Oh, well. At least I got some trades in. Usually those big pops don't last long.
Weght not dropping & I have been so good on IF and CR. hopefully soon!

next, i think you win for cutest pets. you can be my pigs do NOT do this. they are too males and both too concerned with dominance to actually show much love at all. ah well.! One pig is dominant and chases the other...and the other one runs from the one that chases it. there is no "let's just rest on each other and show some love." NO NO NO.
Holding steady, still hoping to break 120. Could be worse! Soon!

well, i used to have 3 hamsters total over the course of my lifetime. one was as a young child. then, i bought one several years ago...and when it died i bought another to replace it. when that one died, i wanted something bigger and able to snuggle more and my research led my to the GPs!!!! i want an upgrade again after these, DOG!? but first, i may need to settle with either a rabbit or something else!?
the color of the tree in your yard is a remarkable red!
have you guys tried the Healthy Choice Cafe Steamers? Like the ravioli.
250 cal and ok analysts
Up .6 pd overnight and don't care. That happens. Getting below 120 will be a big deal and then dropping to the 117 I weighed when we moved here in 2011.
Knee getting better. Hurts on stairs. But no limping today at Walmart like the last few weeks. it will be a long time before I use the steep incline on the treadmill. Walking flat on it for now. The husband runs really really fast on the steep incline. Makes a lot of noise! Sounds like a herd of buffalos are passing through!

your frankie is just as cute as my frankie. i wish they could be pals!
the meal by healthy choice looks good. sometimes you just want the pasta! (and cheese).
yes, try to be kind to your body...i have to remember this today/this weekend.
Thanks, Frankie is adorable and a very good boy.
Yep, the HC pasta dishes are good. I tried the sweet and sour pork, lots more calories, but I didn’t care for it. And I love S&S pork! Used to make my own, but too much work and too many calories
Testing to see if these will upload .
So sometimes the GIFs work and sometimes not. The car should bounce! Lost new post! Testing gifs to see which upload.
the Good Morning ones did, maybe they were smaller files?
Have things to do, will edit later.

Look, HoP! found very interesting ebook at Brooklyn Library. Bogged down by lots of cellular biochemistry, but fascinating. Starts with bacteriam found on Easter Island, 1960s, that killed other bacteria, fungi and even certain cancer cells. Extended life span and promoted health in test subjects. Discussed on longevity forums and sold off shore etc. Few physicians would write for it, but this one in Queens does & must be pocketing a tidy sum. Expensive office visits and he sells a few pills at a time. I think the book is going to say one can accomplish the same effect with calorie restriction and IF. the med can have serious side effects. the pic is the physician in Queens who sells it.
Big drop on scale today, but fairly certain it won't stick. Often see this quick up 2 or down 2 which autocorrects a day or so later. I am most eager to see the 117 I was when we moved here in the summer of 2011. Then down from there.
Got a few good IF type books from the Brooklyn Library and more on hold. Bought the 3 most popular titles. Love that Library! Get many ebooks there, They offer out of state cards for $50 a year and saved me a small fortune. Time was I never thought I could overcome my lifelong love of print books, but it is done. Have bookshelves in nearly every room, some great big carved glass doored Victorian ones, but do most reading in ipad now. Easy to use the bikes and treadmill with iPad.
So did mine! And she lived to be 103!
i think that of ANYONE who has used DD since i have been here which is under but close to 15 years, you may win the award of losing weight the fastest. there's been a couple others, but not many. most of us here are slow losers. and that is OK. there's one woman who i miss right now, that was sick and lost weight due to being sick...and i do hope she is alright now.
Are you a member of the brooklyn library bc you signed up online? i forget how it works? i think that anyone in NYS can be a member of certain libraries. Though, i think in Queens, you have to live in queens to be a queens library card holder. In NYC, i have a library card too...i forgot the rules, i'm def not looking them up either!
Used to get ebooks from local library, but wait list is forever. I always wished they charged a dollar or so and bought more licenses. They do that for print books and will purchase additional copies.
I know so many ppl that can lose a pound a week with the calorie restriction and the exercise I am doing. My sisters and mom have done so as well as many of my former coworkers. I am nothing special in that category. My advantages may be I am not all that into food. Hate cooking and restaurants. Also I have always exercised, even when I was 110 pds or less. Used to jog at the university. Used to walk all over the place, long walks to the grocery store with a backpack.
Been
Dang, the Brooklyn Libary is weird! Was looking for IF books and put holds on a few.
so they pop up with these "similar" titles available now. Really?
Been loooking at kombucha recipe s and the scoby makes me want to puke. Weight stable. Ate between 6 & 10 PM last night. Maybe 900 Cals. Maybe more.
Super excited about the election! It's gonna be a long nite. May switch back and forth between CNN and my ER binge. On the final season, 15, and show is going to hell in a hand basket. Too many good characters left and I don't like the new ones. Still want to see the very end.
Progress as of today: 12 lbs lost so far, only 12 lbs to go!
anyways, let's see how the election holds out.
i will find out results when i wake up...i told my french friend to text me since they are ahead 6 hours ....
Power keeps going out!windy! Dang! tried to post funny pic and deleted day's entry.

HoP, they keep sending me GP pics. lol
Progress as of today: 11.6 lbs lost so far, only 12.4 lbs to go!
i love your other photos here, thanks for sharing.
if you can find a health food store by you, they will most prob be sold there. i've looked on amazon in the past and it's very expensive to buy kombucha that way.
Finally hit the 122's at 122.4 Think IF is helping. Began eating between 4PM & 10:30PM this week. Plan was for 2:30 to 10:30, but found I am not hungry at 2:30 and can easily wait. Do have maybe 75 Cals of protein drink in my coffee and the broth with hot sauce and malt vinegar earlier.
Got super nauseous yesterday & thought sure I'd toss my cookies. Took my 3 RX's and 5 vitamins at the same time on an empty stomach. Awful!

Definitely going to make an effort to incorporate broth into my days. I love lemon juice in chicken broth with parsley flakes. Found memories from childhood.
Well done on the weight loss!
Good for you on the scale movement. I never take anything on an empty stomach. Hope you feel better.
Re your Sean Connery comment - Scottish people are also British. Anyone from Great Britain is British - England, Wales, Scotland. But you'll rarely hear a Scottish person refer to themselves as British. I have dual citizenship with the UK and my certificate says British citizen.
I am Native American and can vote for the Chief. They’ve never elected a female. I voted for one, but she lost by a landslide. You can only vote for the Tribal Council if you live in Oklahoma, but any enrolled member can vote for the Chief.
and i smiled at your animated cartoon. Happy Halloween.
yes, i've been there - re. taking pills on empty stomach. def no good!
Interesting about voting for chief. I hope sometime you get a woman who wins.
Very well done on your numbers!

I’m proud of you for eating dinner and a healthy one with your hubby. I need to improve my diet soon - it’s been fun eating crap but not the healthiest - lol!!!
