Nutrisystem Thursday - Day 4

-
Thursday morning I had two of the NS breakfasts instead of one. I skipped dinner Wednesday night (though I had my day full of calories anyway), so I was hungry by morning.

I had the blueberry muffin and the breakfast bar. Surprisingly (to me) they both tasted good.



For lunch we broke open the NS Three Cheese Chicken and followed the instructions on the package. Since it didn't even fill up half the cup, we each added broccoli to it. It was tasty, but small.



Sometime during the day I had the NS snack cookies and half a coke. The cookies were sort of good, though I thought they were dry. The nutty flavor helped.
For dinner we had the NS chicken pot pie. That's not really what it is. It is more of a chicken soup in a little container and then you add a crusty cracker to the top after you microwave it. It tasted okay.


By night time I had to have a snack, so I had some yogurt and then had a tortilla with a slice of cheese. I added both of those to the totals.

So here's the damage for the day.


So though I sort of pigged out, I still was under my calorie count. Again, I think I might do just as well choosing the right foods from the market. It seems that portion size is the key - and in Texas, that certainly is an issue!

More to come.

Why I cancelled The Bauman Letter

I signed up for The Bauman Letter, edited by Ted Bauman and read it for a few months. His father is a well-known member of The Sovereign Society and Ted contributed for years. I like Ted's writing style and read his letter for the nuggets of information I could glean. One month he recommended a company in Australia for holding my gold. If I had a hundred grand in gold, maybe I'd go that route. Then again, maybe I'd bury it in the back yard like the old Romans. I cancelled his newsletter after reading his October issue. Ted posted ten pages of glowing prose for the 1291 Group of the Americas . I was impressed by his report and thought this might be a company I could park my IRA with and not worry about it. (We've been burned by local investment advisors who lost large chunks of our investment and still took their overly fair share of fees, so we're hyper-cautious.) Ted especially praised Erika Nolan, the CEO of this prestigious firm. Ted forgot to menti

FBAR Scam, but not illegal

-

FBAR (not to be confused with FUBAR, but the one can lead to the other) is a government required Foreign Bank Account Reporting that you must file if you have one or more foreign bank accounts that total more than $10,000 in assets. It is another of the methods the USA uses to track illegal drug trafficking money. I won't comment on how effective it all is, but there is a sort-of scam you need to be aware of. Yeah, you didn't want to read all that. Here's the scam. If you google FBAR, the very first link reads: Fbar Filing - FinCEN Foreign Bank Accounts Form - eFileFBAR.com and links to www.efilefbar.com. Don't click it! It's a legitimate link and they ask you all the correct FBAR questions. When you finish, they want you to pay them $350 to file for you ! Go to the FREE Government Link The government web site asks exactly the same questions, in exactly the same order and then lets you file for  FREE  with the USA. So what the "efilefbar

Mister BoJangles

I l istened to Mister Bojangles by Bob Dylan the other day as I walked. I wanted to be him, to dance, leap so high and lightly touch down. The song continued and I realized I am his beloved companion, the dog. YOU, Darling, are Mr Bo Jangles. Dance, dear heart. Dance. Then lightly touch down. I love you forever.
