Message #637 of 2744  *NEW* To From Subject Date BBlast Rob Reed   Re: OK, give!! 2/4/04, 12:03pm >What did you have for dinner last night? Marie tried her hand at making chili on Super Bowl Sunday... it was fantastic... even better on top of the two turkey hotdogs I slapped it on last night. There is something very amazing to me about the combined flavors of a good chili, a good hotdog, gads of onions, shredded cheese... and ESPECIALLY - the mustard. I love the mustard-chili combined taste. -------------------------------------------------------- "Treat the Earth not as if it was given to you by your parents, but as if it was lent to you by your children." - Kenyan Proverb "The power of accurate observation is often called cynicism by those that do not have it." - George Bernard Shaw -------------------------------------------------------- • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #637 • Back to Topics

As I was making it, a friend of my daughter's was over here watching me. Her parents are divorced and she lives with her father and when he cooks, it is "guy" stuff like steak and hamburgers..so they eat out a lot. So, I invited her to stay and have some..she said she couldn't. Well, a little later on, when the girls were out and about, I got a call saying that she could make it and really really wanted to try my soup. She found it amazing.

My major consumption stoppage is soda. I haven't had a coke in about three and a half weeks. Since January 10th, I have lost nearly 14 pounds... I'm feeling really good. I'm appreciating food a lot better... I hope that I can make it a life change. Rather than go on some crash diet, I still eat the regular things I like... I just watch how much, and estimate my calorie intake. I'm trying to limit myself to around 1500 calories a day. So far, so good. Good luck with your weight loss, as well. My problem is that I get excited at an obvious change, and then I go off the wagon. -------------------------------------------------------- "Treat the Earth not as if it was given to you by your parents, but as if it was lent to you by your children." - Kenyan Proverb "The power of accurate observation is often called cynicism by those that do not have it." - George Bernard Shaw -------------------------------------------------------- • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #661 • Back to Topics

A couple years ago I lost almost 70 pounds in about three or four months. I changed my diet a little, buying "lite" or "fat free" foods, but I never cut out carbs. In fact, I frequently eat energy bars and gels, and those things are loaded with carbs. What really took the weight off was exercise. I started hiking a minimum of three miles a day, and climbing at least one mountain a week. -------------------------------------------------------- http://www.ldphotography.net/ -------------------------------------------------------- • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #662 • Back to Topics

Buy some oranges at Ralphs, and then buy some at Whole Foods. You can do your own little taste test..and you will never buy another orange from Ralphs again! (The supermarket oranges are sprayed..and then FROZEN for delivery. This takes out some of the moisture that can cause mold and rotten oranges..but it also takes out some of the moisture from the orange pieces. Dry, gross..yuk.

Personally, I don't belive in the Atkins diet, nor any "diet" for that matter. If you want to loose weight and keep it off, you need to change your lifestyle on a perm basis. The word "diet" tends to imply a temporary change as in, "I'll go on a diet for a few months, then go back to my pigish habits after I have lost the weight." For me, I have found that doing the exercise and dropping things like french fries have a wonderful effect on me...and, I don't miss the fries at ALL! -------------------------------------------------------- "All human arrogance and ego can be expressed in two words.

Once that is done, then I usually won't go back to hot drinks all day. My "change-over" from coffee to cold drinks comes at around 6:30am when I have a HUGE glass of non-fat milk and my daily vitimans. -------------------------------------------------------- "All human arrogance and ego can be expressed in two words.

I don't know how they do it, but it is..AND, the milk I get is REALLY fresh..none of these dates on the carton that expire tomorrow! I don't know about the service where you live, but it is certainly offered over here. Call Alta Dena..I bet they have a rep/driver in your area. BTW, the wife found out yesterday that the old Vons at Reseda and Devenshire is going to be a HUGE Korean market. I will have to check that place out! -------------------------------------------------------- "All human arrogance and ego can be expressed in two words. 'You Should'.

You might miss it >if you sneeze. My son and I have done the burger taste test, and I would say it is debatable on if the Munch Box is the "best" or not. Like I said, the burgers there are different than In-N-Out, but both are tasty...they are like totally different animals! You could compare Munch Box to Tommy's and I have to admit I like the Munch Box a tad better than Tommy's...but Tommy's ain't bad, that's for sure! If you go to the Munch Box, I suggest the double hickory burger. -------------------------------------------------------- "All human arrogance and ego can be expressed in two words. 'You Should'.

In small amounts most foods are okay. I did a search for a doc once on licorice of all things.

Good idea to have it with your vitamins in the am. I have two 16oz cups of leaded tea in the morning and then drink my room temp decaf the rest of the day. -------------------------------------------------------- "Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting..Holy Shit!!

If I went any more than that, I would have to add 50 miles a week to my bike ride! Just because I love em, doesn't mean that I have to love em THAT much!
