Cookers Weigh In---FridayThrow Down 12-7

[Mary]

As co-founder of this thread and recovering fat-arse, you would be suprised at how much pull I have And I ain't skeered of the Ref ( I pay her off in Christmas goodies)

Hmmmmm . . . sounds promising! You can tell by my avatar how much I love Christmas goodies!

I know I am not an official member of this throwdown but I always thought Christmas goodies didn't count. Don't we burn them all up with the excitement of the season?

Oooh! I certainly like your thinking! Unfortunately, I don't know that my waist line will.

Today..2 Grands birthday parties ..Held in the backyard of son's house..he again, rented the huge blow-up rubber-slide.. .but I got smart. didn't let them talk me into going in with them like last year. .I was sore for a week. They played for 3 hours .until we pulled them out for hot dogs/Bubber burgers..chips, ect..I had 1 hot dog and passed on the chips/cake.. ..Too tired to even think about eating tonight.. .Anyone want to rent a Grand for a day? Those little curtain climbers, Rug Rats..can burn more calories in 1 hour than all day. ......(these 2 Grands birthdays fall next.next week. so close to Christmas..) ...Hard to do a birthday..for them..and know that Christmas is around the corner....Not fair to put out Chrsitmas gifts for them..until we make sure they are special on their Birthdays..

Gina...member or not....you are always wecome..........I am afraid that I am able to consume calories much faster that the seasonal excitement can burn them

Well, I didn't do too badly at dinner. I managed to only eat a few chips and salsa (couldn't resist entirely!), but that's a huge feat for me, since I usually eat a couple of cups of salsa on my own! And I only ate two fajitas. I'm still a bit swollen, simply because anything you eat at a restaurant is like licking a salt block, but at least I didn't pig out entirely.

Nikki, we know about Mexican food, being that we adore it with every taste bud we possess. Therefore, we know that you demonstrated miraculous restraint and superior judgment in your choices. That's akin to going to a candy factory and only eating a couple chocolate covered peanuts. Good for you!

 

[Cooker]

I want to congratulate all involved in the Throw Down!!!! Everyone is showing signs of positive changes in eating and exercise habits!!! The fact that we are maintaining or losing during the holiday season is nothing less than miraculous!!! Keep up the good work!!!

Possible irregularity! The REF seems to be saying she can be bribed by The Chimp with Christmas confections.

Say it ain't so, Mary!

Rest easy, SuperBob.

I'm just daydreaming about the tantalizing treats that the Chimp might be able to procure . . . . but in the real world, it would take more than Christmas delights to bribe me.
Darn!

SPECIAL REPORT.......Deit Explosion In South Carolina

The Co-founder of the VR.com Throw Down was the only one caught in the diet explosion which occurred in South Carolina today. Cooker, after navigating the club part on Friday was able to get back on track Saturday. The first wave of the Sunday explosion began at church with the full assault of a Hardee's Bacon, Egg and Cheese Biscuit followed by 2 KrispyKreme donuts. Still standing the co-founder tried to recover but was caught in the second blast of a Double Cheeseburger, Fries, Cole Slaw and a Soft Serve Cone.

A full recovery is expected. He was quoted as saying "Spit Happens"

 

[Karlynn]

Why didn't I see this on the news????

 

[Superbob]

Time to post the Prune Juice watch. Can only hope the REF is on guard and not distracted by Christmas cookies.

Cooker..If that was breakfast/lunch..what are you having for supper. I tried counting the calories for you in my fast-food diet book..but doesn't go that high. .Looks about like 2,000calories.. Better hit the road Jack .and I mean lots of walking. ...Bonnie

ChimpBoy is almost blown to smithereens in the diet blast and all you think about is watching for banned substances!!!!!!! Thanks for the sympathy

I feel for you, chimp! Sodium keeps exploding all over me. What's a loser supposed to do? Duck???

Which, BTW, I'm going out with friends YET AGAIN, which means more restaurant food and more sodium. But I'm planning to ask for a to go box right away so I'll only eat half!

 

[Gnusgal]

One strategy that I have when going out to eat is to decide what I'm having BEFORE I arrive. With many restaurants having their menus on the Internet, this is a pretty easy thing to do... Well tonight we are going to P.F. Chang's China Bistro with our friends. I decided I would go look at the menu before I start getting too hungry so that I can make a wise decision... Their online menu is GREAT if you're trying to figure out the lightest fare... If you click on "more info" to the right of a dish it gives you most of the nutritional info (no sodium content, alas). It's amazing how many calories are packed into these meals! Granted, they are huge portions, but they could easily cut back on that and people still wouldn't leave hungry... At any rate, as I clicked on "more info" for just about every item on the menu, I believe I've located an item with less than 700 calories (not easy to do) that when split in half (for leftovers) shouldn't be too bad. I don't want to know how much sodium is in it, though... Asian is always over the top in that department!

Cooker..my Hubby can eat that fast food, too..when we leave early for a trip..same type fast-food..and I cannot believe he wants another double cheeseburger...3 hours later.. .and yet..when we return home..He wants a full dinner.Meat/potatoes/Veggies..and never gain.. Plus.after dinner with coffee. always something sweet. ..All I can do is eat..1/2 of biscuit..skip the fast food lunch.And nibble on our dinner..to maintain my 9 lb. loss. ...Granted. he works outside..most everyday..heavy-duty type yardwork..maintaining cars, house, ect...guess he works it off?...I have deleted all salt from my cooking..In fact, did a pot roast with No seasoning tonight..he just said, it was so good.(didn't miss the salt).so I am thinking why my ring fingers are getting so loose (rings)..ankles, too.Salt must have been a culprit for me. ...Thankfully..we don't have the fast-food Chinanese, Mexicane food in the Mountain of North Ga.
