My doctor told me to start my exercise program very gradually, so today I drove past a store that sells sweat pants. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/devilgrin.gif
 
Ya gotta build slowly into these things!

Keep up th' good work, Will.

I took a couple of Elan parts out for a ride today... In the Alfa.

Slowly gettin' 'em used to the road again. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/jester.gif
 
Tomorrow you can park your car in front of that store & walk to the meter to insert a coin!

Be careful walking back to your car that you don't overexert yourself!

Next day, you might make it to the display windows of the store....hehehe
 
Easy does it!!!! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif

I`m on a sea food diet ....... see food an EAT IT! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/devilgrin.gif
 
My idea of exercise is to get up from the couch, go to the frig, get a beer, and return.
I try to do this repeatedly every evening.

Atta boy Dave! Remember to stick with the regular beer, you can’t get a good cardio going with light beer. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thirsty.gif
 
I'm on two diets--one isn't enough food.

I exercised my right to eat 3 cheeseburgers. I worked out the best way to open a can of soda pop, and I exesrted extreme will power before having that second piece of pie for a snack. I'm exhaused. All this working out and exercise is making me hungry. Time for a drive to the Mac for a snack. See ya.

I hear Oreos aren't too fattning.
 
You can eat the broken ones and be safe...cause all the calories have leaked out.

Terri;
That's great news, cause now I can have broken chips with my beer every night.

I'm forever in your debt

Beer, Pizza, and Ice Cream Diet

As we all know, it takes 1 calorie to heat 1 gram of water 1 degree centigrade. Translated into meaningful terms, this means that if you eat a very cold dessert (generally consisting of water in large part), the natural processes which raise the consumed dessert to body temperature during the digestive cycle literally sucks the calories out of the only available source, your body fat.

For example: A dessert served and eaten at near 0 degrees C (32.2 deg. F) will in a short time be raised to the normal body temperature of 37 degrees C (98.6 deg. F). For each gram of dessert eaten, that process takes approximately 37 calories as stated above. The average dessert portion is 6 oz, or 168 grams. Therefore, by operation of thermodynamic law, 6,216 calories (1 cal./gm/deg. x 37 deg. x 168 gms) are extracted from body fat as the dessert's temperature is normalized. Allowing for the 1,200 latent calories in the dessert, the net calorie loss is approximately 5,000 calories.

Obviously, the more cold dessert you eat, the better off you are and the faster you will lose weight, if that is your goal. This process works equally well when drinking very cold beer in frosted glasses. Each ounce of beer contains 16 latent calories, but extracts 1,036 calories (6,216 cal. per 6 oz. portion) in the temperature normalizing process.

Thus the net calorie loss per ounce of beer is 1,020 calories. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to calculate that 12,240 calories (12 oz. x 1,020 cal./oz.) are extracted from the body in the process of drinking a can of beer. Frozen desserts, e.g., ice cream, are even more beneficial, since it takes 83 cal./gm to melt them (i.e., raise them to 0 deg. C) and an additional 37 cal./gm to further raise them to body temperature. The results here are really remarkable, and it beats running hands down.

Unfortunately, for those who eat pizza as an excuse to drink beer, pizza (loaded with latent calories and served above body temperature) induces an opposite effect. But, thankfully, as the astute reader should have already reasoned, the obvious solution is to drink a lot of beer with pizza and follow up immediately with large bowls of ice cream.

We could all be thin if we were to adhere religiously to a pizza, beer, and ice cream diet.
 
I may head to the local pool tomorrow as my own cold tub has hard water in it at this time of the year. (just to build up an appetite)
