Tuesday is poker! and other stuff...


Tuesdays are great around here with canasta and poker too!  A whole day of friends, friendly games, and tonight is pizza night at poker.  We do that twice a year.  I'll have two slices of cheese pizza for 10 points and a big salad.  I remember the last time I ate pizza I felt awful afterward but I love it so much I'll do it anyway.  Maybe I'll only have one slice.  And a bigger salad.  Yeah, that's what I'll do and I'll still get to eat it and I won't feel bad.  

Then when I get home I watch Covert Affairs and try to see if White Collar is on again after, sometimes it is, otherwise I have to wait to see it on Video on Demand.  It takes a day or so to show up.  I've been in tv heaven lately what with Big Brother, Leverage, Burn Notice...  So many shows I love.  Honestly I have not been watching the Olympics.  Every time I try it's just many many commercials and commentary that seems to tick me off and soccer, tennis, water polo, stuff I don't like.  

I wonder if I could play water polo in my pool?  I'd have to use my noodle for a horse and get a big stick and a beach ball, hmmm.  I bet I could get another medal! Ha!

Yesterday the duck hit 100 pounds lost!  Isn't that amazing!  He has worked so hard and looks so good. I'll get a photo for you when I see him later this week, you'll see.  And I hit 59 pounds myself.  On the button.  236 sticks of butter gone from my fat a$$!

Have you ever heard of "negative calorie foods"?  I was wondering if this was true and it seems it is.  At least in the case of celery.  I have also heard that lettuce, grapefruit, kelp, cucumbers and even onions and pickles are negative calorie foods.  

What about ice cubes and water with ice?  Yup, though not foods, they burn calories to process in the body.  I've been busy on the Internet, haven't I?  Drinking eight glasses of cold water burns 70 calories.  That means every ten days 700 calories.  Now we're getting somewhere!  And that, my friends, is a great reason to drink your water.

Have a lovely Tuesday, I know I will...

  3. Haven't watched any Olympic stuff. Didn't have any tv at all in the skilled nursing place, unless you wanted to go watch Drooling For Dollars..... I'm not heartless, really. I just didn't belong there. The gal in the bed next to mine kept setting off the emergency alarms - at night. She was mean, too. Yelled and hollered at me. No know she didn't know what she was doing but good grief. Miserable place.
    Supposed to get my staples out soo. Tired of the darned walker mainly because my hands hurt... Sorry for the crabbiness, I'll find my good side again.

  4. Yes, I have heard of negative calorie foods! Ruby Red pink grapefruit juice was my evening drink with dinner the last time I did this. 19 years ago. Unfortunately, I now have acid reflux which means grapefruit juice of any color is no good. Oy. That's OK though. I like water. And other stuff. Like wine.

    WTG, Chuckie Duck! I think I lost 112 or 114 pound in 15 months the last time. Of course I was only 39 and could exercise more than I can now. I'm hoping to be able to exercise more as the weight starts coming off.

    Commercials and me? Well, you know we just don't get along.

    Have a funtabulous day today! And me, too! big hugs xoxo

  10. I've not watched any of the Olympics either. I'll read about it in the paper. I HATE commercials. HATE commercials.

    I didn't realize that the Duck was losing weight too. Wow, way to go for the both of you.

    I need to eat more negative calorie foods.

    Have a terrific day. Big hugs. :)

  11. I think drinking eight glasses of cold water would burn more calories than that! of course, it depends on how far away from the bathroom you are! hahahaha

  14. Excellent landmark with the weight loss! Keep up the good work.

    I imagine you could play water polo, but I think you're going to need more people in that pool to do so.

    I never heard of negative calories, just zero calories so you can eat as much as you want.
