We had lunch at Pollo tropical but it wasn't good for the diet because the salad had tortillas and beans that's a no no on this diet. But I went because my g/f wanted to go so a sacrifice was made for her..I guess that was good..

The strangest thing......

Our home phone # is still a Cali area code and number since it's associated with my kids cell phone.

In the four years she's had that # we've never had wrong numbers or weird phone calls.

I was in the hospital from the 25th till this afternoon and three different out of state calls came thru and wouldn't talk when my kid picked up.

She called them back, and one was disconnected? One went to an answering machine and never returned the call, and one just kept giving this very odd noise when it was called back.

Hmmmmm shades of Twilight Zone - doo doo doo doo doo doo

Many years ago I read, and recently purchased and viewed the movie, 'Love in the Time of Cholora'...I am still bewildered by how a man can love a woman for 52 years...

I say this only because in my lifetime, which has been a pretty long one thus far - I have never heard of that kind of love, by either man nor woman. I am speaking here of the biological man and woman, or for that matter - any kind of love, excluding familial love, by which, I mean, mother & child, sibling, love.

How does one love so long with unrequited love? I shouldn't wonder tho. I've loved someone since 1971 - what, that makes 40 years this July 4th...so, I guess I'm a close second to the man in the novel. Which means, I shoudn't be asking this question. It is evident. One can love forever, whether it is requited, or not...

The truth: "This is an urban legend," says Liz Applegate, Ph.D., director of sports nutrition at the University of California in Davis. "There is no valid research proving it."

Another, albeit contradictory, myth: Coconut water makes you fat. This bad rap came from coconut milk, which is made from pressed coconut meat and packs 445 calories per cup, most from saturated fat. The water (the fluid in young coconuts) has only 46 calories per cup. Of course, for a truly trimming sip, opt for zero-calorie water, coffee or tea.

The talk: It's nature's sport drink
The truth: It's a fine post-workout chug for the average active Jane, but it falls short for more hard-core athletes.
The gist: When you exercise, you sweat out a lot of sodium and some potassium. You should replace both after intense sweat sessions (more than an hour a day), so your muscles contract properly. Coconut water is a potassium powerhouse, delivering roughly 600 milligrams per cup, about 175 mg more than a banana does and 13 times what most sport drinks offer. "The problem is that it has only about 30 milligrams of sodium per cup; we lose much more than that during a long workout," Applegate says. Thus, serious athletes may need a sport beverage with a higher sodium-to-potassium ratio, such as Gatorade or Powerade Ion4; lighter exercisers can rehydrate with whatever they like best, including coconut water or plain H²O.

The talk: It makes you look younger
The truth: Coconut water contains cytokinins, plant hormones shown to slow the aging process in plants and fruit flies, according to a study in Molecules. Alas, the benefits aren't yet proven in humans. The search for the fountain of youth continues.

The talk: It's a hangover helper
The truth: There's a reason the morning after a bender is so painful: Alcohol dehydrates you, leading to nausea and headaches. Like any drink, coconut water refills your H²O stores, but plain water does the job just as well, notes Samir Zakhari, Ph.D., director of the Division of Metabolism and Health Effects at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. As for electrolytes, our kidneys preserve them when we drink, so there's no need to replace them with coconut water. If the taste lifts your postspirits spirits, go for it; but you can save cash (and calories) with the tap.

The talk: It protects your ticker
The truth: Diets high in potassium can help lower blood pressure and promote heart health, says Andrea Giancoli, R.D., spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association. Coconut water is a good source of the mineral, but it's better to get it from whole foods like veggies (spinach, sweet potatoes) and low-fat milk, which supply additional heart-healthy nutrients such as fiber and vitamin D.

Interesting, I just purchased some coconut water a few days ago, because it looked pretty interesting. I didn't know it had a lot advantages like this give or take.

Good Post Rookie.

but it is also random: I am craving a buffalo burger, medium, with blue cheese and bacon (lettuce, tomato, red onion, extra mayo). I don't think I've had one since I left NM! *sigh*
