You're welcome! But your meat pictures are yummier!

My wife has hinted about one of those fitbit things and I looked at them but there are so many different ones and they seem hard to figure out. Do you recommend a specific model and is it hard to use?

Last night was breakfast for dinner (or supper whichever you prefer, we use the terms interchangeably here). Bulk sausage from a local meat market pan fried in patties, fried apples and scrambled eggs. Local sausage is so much tastier than the grocery store bought, mass market sausage, in my opinion.

We got the fitbit alta. It doesn't have the heart rate monitor on it. I figured I would get so stressed if my heart rate up, I would not be helping myself out much. lol It is very easy to set up by your iPhone or computer. You can track steps, exercise, water intake, food, sleep, etc. We just wanted one to track our 10,000 steps a day plus remind us to move each hour. The water count is helping us both drink more too. We love them! They are on sale at Walmart and Target right now--hint hint for the Mrs.

Yummy food! We eat Neese's sausage up here in NC. Our DD got us hooked on it while visiting her in Greensboro!

Oh my gosh, yes. When my dentist was doing this root canal that failed a year later, he kept saying things like, "Wow, this cavity is much deeper than I thought." while working on me. I think he was out of his depth and it was something an endodontist should have performed. That tooth would "make noises" from within, like a tapping noise. That was probably my tooth cracking.

Then I saw an endo and he said, "I can do a bridge or an implant, but I suggest the implant." I wanted the bridge, because it seemed less invasive and it was mostly covered by my dental insurance. But he told me the implant would last longer and wouldn't involve grinding down the two surrounding (and healthy) teeth. So, I elected to get the implant. I had to pick my jaw up from the floor when they told me what my co-pay would be. I know there is more "labor" involved in an implant, but it lasts longer than a bridge and it is better for your jaw bone. You would think an insurance provider would want to cover more of something like that.

Ya'll are making me very thankful for my dentist who always tells me how pretty my teeth are and that he could just make a model of them to show people what to shoot for. I think I might actually make up for how bad my husband's teeth are.

I walked to the new school building site today for the big name reveal, then walked to the Centrum to pick up the last Christmas presents. Then I headed to the bus stop, only to find that they changed the schedule in the last 2 weeks and I JUST missed the bus...I watched it go past as I was a block away from the stop. So I was going to walk back, but decided to wait for the next bus...which was 10 minutes late. I was SOOOOO glad to be home!! But I got my steps in today.

Congrats on getting your steps in!

I took today off. I felt nauseous all day. I had post nasal drip, which causes a sore throat and nausea.

I have worked out five days in a row, so it's not too bad that I took a day off.

I marinated tofu in soy sauce, lime juice and sesame oil and roasted it. I made a "Thai-inspired" sauce out of almond butter. I cooked some veggies and mixed into to some rice noodles. I don't feel like eating it. More for my husband, I guess.

I'm sorry you're not feeling well, it really stinks you couldn't enjoy that yummy sounding food. GWS xoxo

Good morning, I'm looking on the bright side. I did a nice somewhat fast paced vinyasa and have a ls DVD that has 5- 12 minutes miles that can be done one at a time so I get my steps in. I'm going to try and not leave my house today, it's near 0 and the wind is howling. No cooking just chopping veggies for my salad. To all in colder locations BE SAFE!

I'll second that, @Sans Souci . Hoping you'll feel a bit better today.

If you go outside in the cold, just run around and you'll warm up! Outdoor exercise is refreshing.

Not bloody likely. -15 windchill is a big pass on the outside thing

Why?

Just run faster, when it's a bit colder.

I had a little bit. It was pretty tasty. I mixed almond butter (thinned out with water) with sriracha, lime juice and soy sauce to taste. I would make it again, but I would use cellophane noodles. I prefer them over rice noodles.

Thanks. I am getting worried it's a sinus infection. I never get congested when I have one. It's just a lot of pain behind the cheekbone and pressure behind my eye and ear. Blah.

This little fella looks like the Jack Russell Terrier we had. What a handful he was! He was very "expressive" and whip smart, to boot. He preferred my husband to me. He was so naughty when my husband wasn't around! More than once, I awoke struggling to breathe to find him draped across my neck. I'll let you draw your own conclusions.

I have a Fitbit One, I think it's called. I am not sure if they make them anymore. I have had since 2013. It's been a great purchase.
