new trick...(for me at least)

**wareagle69** · 11-05-2007, 06:13 PM

what i have started doing is training my mind and body for lean times. keep telling the wife we have had it good for a long time starting to get soft. usually when i get hungry i eat. well now when i get the grumblies i wait two hours the feed myself, goona do that for a couple of weeks(takes fourteen days to start a habit) then increase to three hours. combined with the increase in pysical work cause of the new homestead should tax the body well. just another way to test myself and to mentally live the scenario out.

always be prepared.

My God you people are healthy! Actually, good plan man, and good for you Nell (and that high fish intake in the diet is brilliant!)

**nell67** · 11-05-2007, 06:34 PM

Ya know they say fish is good for you!

**trax** · 11-05-2007, 06:49 PM

that was my hint that I'm still hanging around waiting for that dinner invitation next time you're cooking a fresh catch. (talk about the wolf at the door, lol)

**wareagle69** · 11-05-2007, 06:50 PM

Gawd I hate fish.... aghhhh... stinking mess. But Long John Silvers fake fish deep fried in a good fatening batter with deep fried hush puppies, yuuuumy yum... lol... talk about not healthy.
I'll stick to deer meat, baked beans, mac & cheese or mashed potatoes, collored greens w/ hot sauce, corn on the cob. (How ya think I got to weigh 235 lbs

) but us big guys gotta eat. My excerise is hiking at least three days a week and chasing perps through the hood

These words from a man who's career choice demands that he subsist on jelly donuts.

probably a good thing he doesn't know what a double double is the eh trax.

**FVR** · 11-07-2007, 10:28 PM

Have not gone as far as WE, but I have taken to eating fish at least 3 times min. a week. Salads, white rice and holding back on the steaks and deep fried foods.

I drink alot of water, if not water it's gatorade. I have a pretty physical job and love every minute of it.

Trax speaks of collard greens, I can't get enough of them. I could eat them or spinach every meal, same as rice. I can't get enough rice, don't care what kind it is.

Now, last Jan. 1, I was weighing in at 225 lbs at 5'10". I am now down to 200lbs, have to be doing something right.

Oh yeh, kids are running me ragged.

Just remember guys, it's all about the good ole food triangle that our fine and trusting gov't has provided for us. Just remember to add a lot of fried foods (preferably fast foods) and a bunch of partially hydrogenated liquified and then re-solidified monosodium hydro-glucosamine high fructose gelatinous goodness. All made for a well balanced healthy diet. Just look at me; 5'6'', 210 pounds. A model of real American fitness... God, I need a carrot...

I am in shape! I am in great shape.

Round is a shape! Right?

No jelly donuts here, just glazed, but jelly works in pinch if squeeze out that guts... hmmm sounds like the frog thing, and yes Trax I lick the donuts... lol...

(Add yellow dye no.3 here and red no.2)

**trax** · 11-08-2007, 12:07 PM

reminds me of Homer and his donut when Lisa asks for fruit "It's got purple in it. Purple's a fruit right?"

Definitely have to introduce Beowulf to the double double.

**nell67** · 11-08-2007, 05:03 PM

Ok I gotta ask,whats a double double??

**wareagle69** · 11-08-2007, 05:58 PM

when i was new to canada i said the same thing
it seems here that canadians have a love affair with coffee, a place called tim horton's is the place to be a double double is two creams and two sugars.
it's weird to walk in and say large double double please and that's all. i did hear one feller ask four an extra large four by four.
