only 3 cups in the morning and it being too cold outside to do
anything am feelin a bit tense.

I'd have cut out the booze, and cut way back on the coffee. Maybe only
11 cups, but they'd have to be 8oz cups, not those chintzy 6oz jobs.

Alot of stuff you enjoy is had to give up, but for the better. for me,
no more 1/2 lb hershey bars (1 a night) No more big bag of chips, or
doritos, or corn curls ( from top to the last crumb), cutting out on
salt. less beef and pork, and more fish. Eat more breakfast and less
supper.

But I ain't giving up coffee!

Don't forget chicken! But the best part, the skin, has got to go.

Rotisserie chickens, with a lot of celery and onions, make some great
soup, into which you can throw some brown rice.- Hide quoted text -

Well, I usually go for skinless chicken breasts in the oven, but I
never knew why otherwise you needed to toss the skin?

Since I retired I do not drink anywhere's the amount of coffee I used
to. And still rarely drink alcohol. But one nice thing about losing
the Christmas weight gain. I am using Costco's brand SlimFast for
breakfast and lunch. Yesterday my buddy and I went up to New Melones
lake for some trout and bass fishing. We used the Hobie pedal
kayaks. Was easy to imbibe lunch while pedaling along and trolling
for trout. No fooling around with cutting bread or cheese. And only
caught one nice bass.
You know, you can make sandwiches ahead of time and wrap them so they
don't get soggy in the cooler. Really.
What would you suggest? PBJ?

I like PBJ's but I cut them out too.


I like wonder bread smeared with just mayo.

Good Lord! I used to eat a lot of Mayo, and dumped it for Mustard. I
figure I had enough artery clogging mayo to last a life time.

Could be, but I never thought there was enough junk in th skin (what
little and thin the skin actually is) to bother anything.

I know why Harry does so, he doesn't like anything with flavor.
Remember, he uses the boil in the bag method of cooking turkey.

How big is a cup?
I am probably up around 8-10 cups a day. We have a "12 cup" maker, my
wife takes 16 oz with her to work and I drink the rest throughout the
day.
I make a pot in the morning and pour it into a vacuum flask. That way
it oxidises less and doesn't evaporate at all. It is also in arms
reach and can go on the road.

That's also what we do


We got some single "K-cup" brewers a couple of years ago. My wife uses
hers for tea, and I use mine for the one or two cups of coffee I drink
weekdays. They are really nice...hot coffee (tea) when you want it, and
nothing sitting around in a flask, getting stronger and stronger. 30 to
35 cents a cup. When I run out of k-cups, I just use instant coffee and
the cup of hot water the machine dispenses.

keurig machines. I've seen them for well under $100...
