Cooker's Throwdown Friday III -- 4-22

[Superbob]

Happy Krypton Day, ThrowDowners!

Oops, Superbob should have said Happy Earth Day. He just gets a little homesick now and then, you know. What an explosion -- rocked Superbob's world, though he was but a tadpole then.

Okay, have a good Earth Day. Go hug a tree, or better, hug your squeeze, or squeeze your hug. Superbob thinks he and Superdawg will go check out how the Atlantic Ocean is faring on this Earth Day.

Okay, to the business of the day: Hope you all have had a good week, and will be sharing your progress in the Great Red, White, White, and Blue Race to the Fourth of July, 2010.

As for Superbob, he can report an additional loss of 1 pound, making a total of 2 pounds for the Saint Paddy's Day to July 4 sprint.

Will be looking for your updates, news, critiques of Superbob as a substitute lardmeister, etc., over the next few days.

 

[Wise]

Good going superhero. I have learned through personal effort that losing even one pound is a big deal. Say hello to Superdog for me, plus say hello to the ocean for me. There, I've done my Earth Day bit.

 

[AgilityDog]

I'm within .1 of where I was last week, which is just below my WW goal. Ta-DA!

Jet's obedience instructor, however, said JET needed to lose a couple pounds. EEK! Too much rain, not enough field work or agility lately. Usually my problem is keeping the weight ON Jet. Fortunately, 2 or 3 pounds will do her, and they'll fall off easily.

 

[Duffey]

Congrats, Laurie. Being below your WW goal is always good news!
Yo-yo queen did not weigh this morning. She was having a good week until Wednesday . . . yes, just yesterday . . . . but a surprise visit to the icecream shop last night leaves her thinking she should wait and weigh tomorrow.

 

[Superbob]

Well done, Laurie! Being below WW goal is a great achievement. As far as Jet, I would think a pound or two wouldn't matter much. Sadie dog is down 4 pounds from her weight when we lived in the mountains, though her appetite seems increased. I guess coastal life agrees with her.

As for you, Yo-Yo Queen, Superbob doesn't recall authorizing a "surprise" visit to the ice cream parlor. But since his DW is dispatching him to get barbecue takeout after the grandkids' soccer practice today, I guess SB will have to be lenient.

 

[Cooker]

Holy cow! ... seems as the man-o-steel is kicking butt and taking names ... that's what this deal needed, someone to crack the whip, (go ahead and get your kinky comment out of the way cause I can out kink any of you) ... after consulting with my dietitian for 50 minutes this morning I decided to weigh in ... of after walking nine holes on a par three and eating a peanut butter sandwich and 2 hot dogs I am reporting a gain of 1/2 pound so that puts me at 193.5 ... hey! ... when did this 4th-O-July Throwdown start? ... I need to go back and see where I was when the head lard-master started this off ... as I shared with my diet counselor all jelly beans are gone and TheChimp will be doing all he can to swing past SB in the race to the 4th .... monkey business is afoot

 

[Cooker]

To answer my own question I was at 190 ... I need to kick in the afterburners

 

[Duffey]

Your dietician recommended a peanut butter sandwich and 2 hot dogs? Hmmmm, sounds like Bina to me.

(I'm ignoring SB's dig about nonauthorized ice cream parlor visits).

 

[Superbob]

Superbob eagerly awaits the results of The Chimp's hot dog diet for the Great Red, White, and Blue race. Bring it on, Mr. Chimp. The Man of Steel is up to the challenge!

 

[Duffey]

Trying to live up to my name, I'm up a pound this week. It could have been worse; trust me on this!

Last week: 155
This week: 156
Gain of 1 pound

Henceforth, Yo-Yo Queen, you may not go to "surprise" ice cream parlor visits unless cleared by Superbob!

What the heck, you know a pound is just a figment of the scale's imagination! Besides, it is a blessing because it provides another chance to use that wonderful moniker Rhena gave you!

Speaking of Rhena, where is she? And where are the rest of the LOSERS? Inquiring minds want to know . . . .

Actually, I had a fat free hot dog today on a Sara Lee 80 calorie hot dog roll and put mustard on in and it only was 2 points. The best part was that it actually tasted really good. I haven't had a peanut butter sandwich since I was a kid. I won't weigh this week seeing I'm still on Prednisone 40 mg. a day. I am being super good though Superbob!

 

[Superbob]

Wow, Betty, Superbob doesn't doubt that you are being supergood, but no peanut butter???? SB gives you permission to eat peanut butter -- it's a superfood, lots of nutrients. Superbob eats it every day and the middle of the night. Just don't eat it straight out of the jar by the spoonful, as SB sometimes does.

 

[Wise]

Betty, being on a steroid and STILL being really good is a major accomplishment. Doesn't that generally make one hungrier than normal?

SB, my favorite PB sandwich is with good whole wheat bread and honey. Yummy!

 

[Wise]

Okay, here's our report for this week:

CINDY:

Starting Weight: 140.8
Last Week: 133.8
This Week: 133.6
Change: -.2
Total Loss: 7.2

WISE:

Starting Weight: 194.2
Last Week: 174.2
This Week: 172.6
Change: -1.6
Total Loss: 21.6

In the St. Patty's to July 4 Race, Cindy has lost 1.6 pounds and I have lost 7.4 pounds!

 

[Superbob]

Holy cow! Great work, Cindy and Wise! And Wise, at 7.4 I think you have a decided lead in the Red, White, and Blue Race -- ahead even of that scrawny, peripatetic Chimp! Superbob is going to have to step it up to avoid being embarrassed.

Now, as for some of our non-reporters, do you really want a man in a cape landing on your porch and knocking on your door? Ton, do you want Superbob toting you on the long journey from Australia to South Carolina? If the rumors are right, and you are in the choccy again while doing the virtual farming, we will forgive you, and you don't even have to weigh in -- we just miss your cheery observations!

And Bina, we value your comments, and having you as a person we can send our fattening foods to, guilt-free.

Rhena, the Texas wildflower gal, where is she? Did she say she was going on another trek or something? -- Superbob can't keep up with all the itineraries. Anyway, we miss you.

Okay now, you don't want to rankle Superbob and cause him to send out Superdawg and her friends to track you down! Time to report in, ThrowDowners!

 

[Bina]

...... do you really want a man in a cape landing on your porch and knocking on your door?

Uh, as a matter of fact, that would be kind of cool. Bring along a tray of brownies and SuperDawg.

Thanks SB. You embarrassed? Never!
