Cooker's Throwdown Friday ... 2-1-13

[Superbob]

Took a peek at the scale this morning. As I feared, Super Bowl feasting has done damage. Guess I should have gotten up and shook my booty along with Beyonce. :tongue2::tongue2: Anyway, after a dentist's visit to complete some work, I need to be on a good path to Friday....:cool2:

I'm probably bouncing all around my normal weight. Last night's dinner won't help, though. My daughter was visiting for the night, and the girls wanted to go to my wife's favorite Chinese restaurant. Can you say. . . "Sodium overload?"

Aside from extra diuretic pills, does anybody know any legal ways to get this junk out of your system sooner rather than later?

I talked to TheRef (big time swimmer) yesterday and she said that I should go with a three to one ratio swim vs walk ... in other words one mile swim is equal to 3 miles walking ... any objections take it up with you know who .... remember this is not a thread that lends itself to democracy... :tongue2:

My nondemocratic vote is to agree. I'm not a swimmer, as previously noted that I swim like a rock, but I do know that it is a very strenuous activity. Hey, if the Ref recommends it, being the fish she is (in relation to swimming), that's pretty good advice.

As for us, we've had multiple interruptions and need Throwdown forgiveness because I fear that it will take two weeks to get back my lowest weight.

The Ref? The Ref? Who dat? Playoffs? Playoffs? What playoffs? :tongue2:

Any kind of count is okay with Superbob, the true controlling authority. :wink2: SB himself has had a hellacious week, and expects results to match Friday. :redface2: Will spare you the details.

My week isn't shaping up much better. After the girls dragging me out to a Chinese restaurant (salt pit?) on Tuesday, I got to work this morning (Thursday) to find a Chinese take-out menu on my desk. That is the lunch the staff is planning for our monthly management review meeting. I couldn't eat just a big bowl of plain rice, so I guess I'm in the trick bag. Even if I tell them to hold the MSG and salt, it is still more sodium than I usually eat in days.

I'm already up a pound or so. I guess this is the test to see how far it (weight) will go.

I'm still planning on a 1:2 ratio for my exercise bike, if that's OK. I think I remember talking about it and thinking that 2 miles on the bike would be like 1 mile walked or jogged. Lately I've been doing about 4 miles/day on the bike and then walking or jogging another 1 to 1.5 miles. That would set my average at about 3 miles/day -- just about what I was jogging 10 or 15 years ago. Getting old(er) is a pain - literally!
