I won't be around, we are off up North tomorrow... we have a funeral to go to on Thurs at 11am, we could get up early and travel, but decided to go on Wed and have a night at a motel.

My god daughter's father (86) has died.... his little wife will probably go in a resthome.. she has been in hospital... fell out of bed... and he was in there as well with a chest infection. He got sent home, live in home help was provided but he only lasted a day or two. I was very fond of him, used to stay on his farm in Taranaki as a youngster and would always get up at sparrow's fa*t and help him milk the cows and go to the dairy factory in a bouncy seated truck, no seat belts then and no heating either.

Awhh - Sad news Persie - hope all goes well ! <3

Poor Gracie is SO hot while we are all sitting here shivering -life aint fair is it ? ;-) :-D

Thank you for breakfast Sylvia - I hope you get to your Physio - will it be the last one this time?

I am having the cheese and onion tarts with extra bacon and some chicken stir-fry to follow :-D <3 <3

See you all later,

Dea x

Morning all.

Thank you Sylvs.

It's on now Gins.

Bye.

It's summer here but my feet are cold... been a very bleak day with rain on and off... Often it is warmer outside than in the house... we get high humidity Dea... can get very sticky but the temperature won't be as high.

Victoria can get too darned hot though.... we usually go over to OZ in August... September before their summer and near the end of their winter.


Hope physio goes well Sylvs... I wonder if Gins will appear or whether she has faded away.... and has just become an ethereal vision.

Is that an 'ethereal vision in a size 10 whispy flowing gown' Persie??? :-D

Dea x

Ive not disapeared and wont be doing so for some by the looks of those scales!

JB also got weighed yesterday and he has gained 2lb..............there is no way he can have gained weight, he's eaten the same as me....maybe its catch up from the week before we started?

Pers, sorry to hear about your friend, I hope the funeral goes as well as a funeral can go <3

Syl.....think I'll grab all those 8 grapefruit from your fridge and see if the magic will work...whatever it is they have in them to aid weight loss, I want some :-D

A Scientific 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.

Happy eating!

LOL

Now that sounds like a good idea Jonesey........cold beer and pizza, heaven!

Going on the above theory, I think I should be eating lots of ice cubes and sticking my spag bol in the freezer before consuming......do you think that will work :-D

I had the mumps on yesterday, but today my tummy and legs hurt from the double up exercise and it is a reminder that it is working, just not quite as fast as we dieters would like

Just orf to get a cold beer to take into the shower ;-)

Just checked with Ancestry and the price for a new member (world wide) is £155.40 which is what they quoted my renewal at!!

Gave them a call and I have 25% discount :-D

Glad you took my advice then Gins........ :-D :-D :-D


Don't go overdoing the exercise - you're at a funny age remember! :-P



Sorry about your friend Persie. It sounds as though you had a great time on his farm - before all those health and safety rules kicked in! Hope things go as well as can be expected. <3



Very cold here.....brrrrrrr....... but lovely and bright :-D

Yes THANK YOU for advice oh wise one ;-)
