Cooker's Throwdown Friday II...7-10-09

[Superbob]

Superbob is back from morning of dental surgery. Sure to lose a few pounds now.Instructions: don't eat anything hot, don't eat on right side of mouth, take this double handful of extra pills because it is going to hurt like hell.

Does the tooth fairy give nice massages? Superbob is due for a visit from TF.

No cardio problems. Just getting started with a new cardiologist after relocating.

Is she hot? Mine is fat and hairy but a great cardio nonetheless! Took me a while to get past his accent, but I got used to the guy. Hope the new cardio works out for you!

Don't know if I've lost any more lbs here, but I can see the inches gone! I fit into a pair of size 12 pants today...haven't been able to wear them for about 2 years. Yeah! Two more sizes until I'm back in my 8s!

Went to Lucille's BBQ after the Hubster's haircut (his day off today) and was a good girl. At some BBQ chicken with some veggies. Said no to Hungry and resisted the red velvet cake. My problem is sweets!

Off to the gym with me tomorrow... and an early Sunday morning weigh-in at WW!

 

[Tbone]

Well I stayed the same & for the first time in 3 weeks the needle on the scale didn't go up. With the stress I've had this week I take that as good news.

STARTING WEIGHT - 173
LAST WEEK - 171
THIS WEEK- 171

Superbob I hope you get better soon.

 

[Wise]

Announcing the return of Cindy!!!

We are both weighing in this week.

As far as Wise goes, I am calling it "no change" because when I weighed, at first, my weight was up. Then, I weighed again to verify it and then it was down. I weighed that a couple more times. Then Cindy weighed. Then I weighed again just to make sure of the good number I was getting, but alas it was up again, which is right about where I was last week. Oh well.

Cindy is confessing that she is up 10 pounds from her lowest weight. However, she still is not fat. She is going to check in here again for the accountability. Her goal is to shed those 10 pounds and maintain.

Congrats to all the stayers and losers. Nikki, you are the one person who does not have to have an excuse for anything.

Welcome back Cindy....
Congrats Cooker on this weeks willpower and loss of a few pounds...
Sympathies for SB and his sore mouth, hope you can find some nice low-cal ice cream to soothe your pain.
Have a great Sushi night Niki whilst showing off your 2 precious babies.
Well done to all our Losers for staying with the game.

Amazed as I am, I managed to lose 1lb this week without really trying...this gives me hope that I am not a lost cause and may oneday get to my goal which is about 10lbs away at present. Now I am encouraged to make a proper effort this coming week and see what majical number I can pull.

 

[Cooker]

Welcome back Cindy and way to go Ton .... sounds like we are all trying to get back with it!!!

 

[Superbob]

Hooray for Ton and Cindy, of course The Chimpness himself, and others who are losing or staying the same.

Superbob won't be eating any steaks for a while but he finds he needs to ingest enough soft stuff for his stomach to tolerate all the extra meds he has to take post-dental surgery. Doesn't know when he will be throwdown-worthy again. The endodontist said this thing would be very slow healing. In six months have to see if bone has regenerated. Ugh. So I may be scarce here. Really feel it is pointless for me to be here.

Hmmm. The Throwdown without Superbob is like Orville without Wilbur, or Stanley without Ollie, or Poo without Bah.

 

[Gnusgal]

Nikki, you are the one person who does not have to have an excuse for anything.

Thank you for that. 'Cause I still haven't managed to get on the scale. These babies really keep you on your toes! I've been up and busy since 5:30! They say to sleep when the babies sleep, but how do you do that when they tag-team?!

And I must say my arms are getting quite the workout. Not just from picking up the babies, but from patting their backs all day long! I'm feelin' the burn!

Gotta go! Duty calls!

 

[Gnusgal]

Oh! And I forgot to mention our dinner plans for tonight! Since cooking is a tiny bit difficult when juggling two little ones (and Nathan doesn't get home until 8 o'clock or so), we decided to go with slow cooker meals this weekend. Tonight's meal is already going and it's going to be such a relief after a LONG day to not have to do anything for dinner. This is what we're doing today:

Pork Loin and (lowish sodium) Salsa in the slow cooker, served on corn tortillas with cole slaw mix (we just use the veggie mix, and don't make it into cole slaw). You can add cheese and/or sour cream as well. Super easy, and not to bad health-wise either! Yum!

I agree 100% ... Like peanut butter without jelly, Krispy without Kreme, banana pudding without vanilla wafers, M&M?s without the candy coating .... SuperBob, we are all pulling for you and hoping for a fast recovery .... your wit, humor and insight are invaluable .... please don?t be a stranger.....

Okay ChimpMan and Wise, you know Superbob gets moody, pouty, whiny, sullen, silly, even naughty and worse from time to time, but he's always around. Weighing is just hard to do right now -- but I was about the same as the week before when I stepped on my scales before the dental delights Friday. Some day I may find a way to get on a sane dietary regimen again. Good peaches around here. Are there any banana plantations?

We all have times like this ... wishing you the best

Quick, Quick!
Start the new week's throwdown!
I'm on a losing streak, but who knows if it will last through Friday!
