Dieting

I'm on a diet right now that most would find... let's say "unconventional". Yes, let's describe it that way.

Basically all I do is eat Smarties. No finesse to it. Just eat Smarties day and night. I bought over 20 pounds of them on post Halloween clearance so I won't run out of them until early December.

Scary but I've already gone through over 12 pounds of the things in 4 weeks. And weirdly enough I've lost 8 pounds during that same time period--mostly off my belly. I think I might be torturing my pancreas to death--and not doing my liver any good either.

Well, time for me to go eat my lunch. You can see it up there clinging to the keyboard of my laptop. Mmmmmm. Smarties!

Ha, I love those candies. I remember the first generaton of them....little dots of sweet/smart candies stuck to a very looong piece of paper that I would bite off and enjoy. Good luck with the diet, Dave. I have a feeling your belly will be yelling soon.

Losing weight could mean you have thrown yourself into diabetes, eating all that candy.

Well, the smartie diet seems as sensible as some of the others out there. Might as well enjoy it!

Your "Smarties" have another name over here... Not that I can think of the name right now! Over here Smarties are made by Cadbury's and are chocolate with a coloured coating.

I am unfamiliar with Smarties...but it sounds like it is all pure sugar...! Help Me!

As you said, it is unconventional....LOL!

Michele sent me to suggest maybe a tiny bit of protein from time time might help balance all that sugar...!

It doesn't sound any more ridiculous than another diet I read about that instructed two Big Macs per day and all the popcorn you can eat.

Maybe I'll try yours... :)

Hello, Michele sent me today!

Nitroflex at home

Image
I mentioned a few days ago that I'd purchased off of Craig's List an exercise machine. A Nitroflex, to be more specific, for the grand sum of $75. The boxes you see to the left were bought by the seller as discontinued merchandise over a year ago and stored in his back yard storage shed. You might be able to see some of the bugs and such that had made their homes on these boxes. I left them out on my deck for a few days before opening them to allow the insects to leave gracefully or die in the sun. The picture to the left is the pieces from the box, unboxed, and up in one of my upstairs bedrooms. For the most part it wasn't difficult to move it around though two pieces were heavy and a number of them were kinda long and bulky to be wandering about the house with. Surprisingly, this kit didn't require any extra tools. There were two allen keys and one combo wrench included in the boxes and that was all it took to put it together. The whole thing only took about half an h...

ankle update

S ince a few people object to seeing my feet --poor misdirected souls--I have the two pictures below hidden behind links. Behold them at your own risk! *evil laugh* Actually they're not scary though the first one is a little colorful. T he first picture shows my ankle and foot from the side, as labeled. You can see a lot of general edema of the entire foot. There's also a good bit of discoloration of the ankle area and to a lesser degree the top of the foot all the way down to the toes. The side view is a lot worse in this regard than the top view. T he second picture shows the two feet from the top so you can compare the somewhat normal looking right foot to the injured left foot. There's not much abnormal color on this view but you can see the "sausage like" swelling of the left foot. It's this swelling that is causing my main problem--I can't get the foot into my boots and I need the boots to support the ankle. Damn Catch-22. Side view, looking inward ...

Ostrich poop found here

Image
I took these pictures last Fall while visiting the NC Zoo. On the left you can see what appears to be a nice polite ostrich just wandering around. This impression soon turns out to be false when her dowdy tail feathers raise up and reveal a puckered anus. Ewwww! If you look carefully, you can see that she's made a deposit on the ground. More ewwww! Feel free to click on the image to make them bigger. Details can make all the difference in these shots. In other matters, aren't those really bony legs they have? And couldn't they have a little more color?
