Never mix hard liquor with sugar like coke or Dr pepper. That's where your headache comes from. I drink Moonshine straight with no problems. Mix it with sugar and pow,, headache.

They had to go thru my back this time. I’ve gotta get it done in the other side too sometime in the near future. Not as bad as I was expecting and much better having a large urology facility near me now rather than the one doc in town that accidentally worked on the wrong kidney once. I’m doing fine and am looking forward to a dog walk soon. I miss outside

When the Old Hen had a biopsy on a small lump in her left breast, I wrote "wrong ***" on the right one. The nurse laughed and said it was a good idea, as they'd goofed up before.

Not hungry....trained myself.

I'm the same way with breakfast, and normally lunch. Dinner time is a different story.
When I was still in the rat race, I only ate one meal a day. Since retirement, I might eat breakfast once a month or less.

I had a similar plan if I had to trust that old doc again. So glad I made it to Va before I needed a doc. It bothered me that he just laughed it off. If I’d made a mistake like that on a submarine there would have been a critique some training and a process change. Maybe I’m asking to much and it happens more often than I thought

not a day passes without my breakfast, most important meal of the day in my world...

I like breakfast some days but usually opt to drinking coffee instead and skip the food.

It honestly is, I just never was hungry first thing in the morning. The Old Hen? She's hungry all the time. She dreams of food. She'll climb outta bed in the morning, take a whizz, and head for the kitchen. I can't do it. It's usually around 15:00 hours before I even start getting hungry.

 

[user 60606]

... dreams of food.

nothing wrong with sweet dreams

 

[user 60570]

nothing wrong with sweet dreams

yeah , dreams of oatmeal raisin cookies or fig newtons , cherry turnovers with Ethiopian coffee

sweet dreams indeed

 

[boo]

if I just did coffee my gut would go nuts on me, stuff happens when you get old...I like strong coffee, pain stripper to some...my girls keep me and many neighbors supplied with eggs, I cruise down the street on the tractor to give 'em away, I get a hoot out of it...modern day green acres...I eat probable more than most, I just burn it faster than I can consume it...2 weeks of covid and I lost 20 pounds...I ain't right folks, those here that know me will attest...one thing about my life is it's never a boring place...

 

[Carty]

I got rid of all breads, got hooked on egg roll wrappers and as in other aspects of life, I roll my own. LoL That and romaine boats. Simply fill the romaine sleeve with good healthy stuff..
Should find out about hip replacement #1 in few weeks with Orthopedic appt.. they said lose 50lbs. Hoping 49 counts..lol
30 more be nice..

diet is the biggest part of the get healthy equasion...not WHAT you eat but WHEN you eat it that makes the biggest difference...of course you have to burn more calories that you take it...not difficult when you really think about it...

I'm seein' a buncha nice guys here with the wrong fargin "dieting" methods. But the above is simply "it".<-- the right way to go.

Two things you do to get rid of FAT (it is fat, it is not "weight")"

1. Eat regularly -- FOUR small meals a day is far, far better than ONE big one. Eat all the salad you can stuff down (NO salad dressing). You will become extremely fond of a huge salad with 100 calories worth of dried sweet cranberries mixed in. Cut out breads entirely.

2. Eat ALL YOU WANT as long as you do not exceed 1400 calories in 24 hours. <-- There is a sekrit plus to this you will wet yer pantses over:

After you have dieted for several months and have achieved your weight goal, you can go off your 1400 calorie restriction. But Lo!! What do you discover?

Instead of sharing a pizza with yer wifelet, you find you only can cram down two slices. YOUR STOMACH has shrunk. And YOUR BRAIN has been re-dialed into when you feel "full". <-- Free fer nuffin surprise. Other dieting endeavors DO NOT do this. One meal a day or so leaves your stomach larger, and your brain hungrier.

You cain't fool yer internal body monitor guy. No matter how sneakily you take in calories... he always KNOWS every single one.

Experience here. 260 down to a skinny 210. <-- Have stayed at 210 for five years with no extreme (eg: calorie counting) dieting needed.

 

[Unca Walt]

I do both. Cold beer and a bowl.

After my recent adventure into the realm of blood pressure being 180/120 with a heartrate of 120... eg: Atrial fibrillation

New Rules on Board:

The AF was triggered by two things -- alcohol and caffeine. It so happens that the most delicious sippin' drink in the world is brandy mixed with a little Kahlua. <-- Insidiously good. I had three that night.

Scooter (for any newbies, that's MySonTheDoctor) informed me I had what is called "Holiday Heart". The trigger was described above.

So whut, ya say? I have a cabinet full of wines and liquors, and a fridge with beer. I can not touch alcohol anymore. I ain't paying that price again.

 

[user 60606]

mornin'

holiday heart huh .. glad your still here

 

[Hippie420]

Walt, you think drinking one instead of three would be something you could get away with? Might not be worth the chance, though.
The Old Hen's poison of choice is Kahula & milk. Kinda like a white Russian without the vodka, which is weird, 'cause she's half Russian.

 

[Unca Walt]

mornin'

holiday heart huh .. glad your still here

Me too!!

"Holiday Heart" can be triggered by caffeine or alcohol. I was hitting both, since the delicious brandy was laced with delicious Kahlua.

I now drink decaffeinated tea with honey in the moanin'. No, it is nowhere near as good as the full quart of straight black John Wayne coffee I useta scarf down every moanin...

...But it won't kill me.

"They'll haveta kill me before I die!" [/Yellowbeard]

 

[ness]

Morning, I should put myself on a diet. At least eat healthier and drink more water.

I'll be transplanting the two Jack Herer today.

Enjoying my coffee and smoke before I start this day.

49 F and going to hit 80's.
