WELCOME TO THE BUS, Bobi!!!!!! |
||||||
| Bobi |
Can I sit near you, Dean!?!?! Hey!... who is driving this thing anyway? 
|
||||||
| Dean |
Bobi, I know you are eager to get this bus rolling... but, don't you think you have had too many wine coolers to be driving?! 
Where is Susanne?!... our designated driver!!! |
||||||
| Bobi |
Aw Shucks, Dean...as usual, you are absolutely correct. Maybe Suzanne will take over. I think she's a good driver, as long as she keeps her head in the window. 
|
||||||
| Suzanne |
Drive? I thought I was gonna sit in the back and party with the men. Darn it. I always get stuck being the designated driver. | ||||||
| Dean |
Suzanne,
You need to go get Susanne... SHE is the designated driver of this bus!!! I need YOU to come sit in the back! 
You DID bring your toy box, right? 
|
||||||
| Suzanne |
I agree. She answered a message I sent her earlier. Has she not answered yours about joining? | ||||||
| jeff |
I'd offer to drive, but Heather won't get off my lap! 
|
||||||
| Susanne |
Ok, I'm here already...had to work a few hours this morning and missed Dean's message until a short while ago.
I'm driving...someone get me an iced breve with four shots and some splenda and then LET THE PARTY BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
(heehee...just had to use a whip icon.) So, anyone got a destination in mind? |
||||||
| Dean |
Furthur has ALWAYS been the destination of this bus!

Saturday, August 19
I just ate the most horrible meal ever!!! 
I was starved and I didn't have my usual rib-eye available so I went to the store. At the deli, while getting lunch meat for my grandkids, I decided to try some seasoned tri-tip which they had. It was cardboard, tough, the only good taste was Dean's recommended Heinz 57 sauce. I have never tasted anything so bad. What a waste of 3/4 lb of meat...and not one sliver of fat on it. How can people eat that stuff? It was totally gross! Off to get a glass of wine. |
||||||
| Dave |
Hmmmm low fat loveliness! |
||||||
| Jessica |
Ugh, that is awful. I find I have a hard time eating out anymore, my cooking is way better, and my ingredients, I know what is in them. :)
I always seem to have a bad reaction to meat when I eat out. Must be the marinade or something. (((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))) Jessica |
||||||
| Bobi |
Sunday, August 20
1.5 lb. Cross Rib Chuck Steak, very rare and divided into 2 meals Butter Heinz 57 Sauce Tabasco Sauce Garlic Paisano Wine Coolers Exercise: Pool, 1 hour. |

I just turned 52 on August 17th...we are about the same age...right???
I remember your avatar...you looked great.
|
||||||
| Bobi |
Well...we're in the same decade!!! I will be 60 in January. At least I will be able to collect my dead hubby's social security benefits, now that I don't need it since I'm back at work!!!!
Thanks for the compliment, BTW, much appreciated.
|
||||||
| Bobi |
Friday, Saturday...Sept 1/2

Main Meal: 8-12 oz, Very rare Rib -Eye, boneless steak, broiled Garlic Gobs of Unsweetened butter Tabasco Sauce Steak Sauce (whatever one in the fridge at the moment) Snacks: Eggs, HB Hard Cheeses Coffee Relaxant: Wine coolers, Red wine/flavored waters |
||||||
| Shawn |
Hi Bobi,
Hope you are having a wonderful Labor Day weekend.
|
||||||
| Susanne |
So your food is the same old, same old. Is the drinking part too? I saw your post in Alisa's journal about how you and Jeff had fallen behind on your duties (drinking for those of us who don't or shouldn't indulge!!)
|
||||||
| Bobi |
Hey, Susanne,
Yup...same old, same old! Fills me up, leaves room for wine coolers!!! Wonderful to relax with after my hectic days!!
|
||||||
| Karen |
just wanted to stop by and say HI bobi! you dont post in your journal often do ya? i know some people arent into journaling much..anyhoo..HI!
|
||||||
| Bobi |
Hi Karen and thanks for stopping by.
A few weeks ago I stated in my Journal that I always eat the same way, so I didn't want to bore everyone. When I eat differently, I will post the differences. So for now it remains: Lg broiled, extremely rare rib-eye steak (8-10 oz) HB Eggs Swiss cheese on occasion Unsalted Butter Seasonings, lots of garlic and Tabasco and Steak Sauce Wine Coolers, 10 oz flavored sparkling water and 2 oz Merlot, or red wine Coffee, heavy whipping cream and SF flavoring. Boring, huh?!?!?!
|
||||||
| Shawn |
You sound happy and I remember you looked great in your avatar, so  to your diet.
|
||||||
| jeff |
Bobi, boring to write and read about, but not boring to eat. I eat a similar diet....not much variety.....and I find it anything but boring. |
||||||
| Heather |
I was thinking the exact same thing this morning, I eat chicken, eggs, beef and butter. To anyone else that would seem very boring but I do just fine with that and do not get bored. |
||||||
| Bobi |
I'm glad to see that there are so many of us boring people around!!
|
||||||
| Dean |
I eat beef, chicken, eggs... oh... and donuts!
|
||||||
| Bobi |
DEAN, NO MORE F****** DONUTS!!!!! YOU'RE GONNA END UP LOOKING LIKE A DONUT!!!
|
||||||
| Bobi |
FIRST TIME IN A YEAR!!!!
Saturday, September 23 Bacon Cheeseburger (1/2) Slice Cheese Pizza (1/2) Coffee Wine Coolers |
||||||
| Suzanne |
Oh, my! Was this intentional? What happened? How do you feel?
|
||||||
| Bobi |
Yes, Suzanne...it was intentional. I was starved and I wanted junk food.
I feel fine, but don't want anymore, probably not for another year!!!! I think that once a year is enough for me.
|
||||||
| Dean |
Seems like all of us have had a visit from the junk food goblin! I wish for me it was only once a year! I am still recovering from my stupid donut binge! I'm getting back on track though. | ||||||
| jeff |
I had some peanuts last night. |
||||||
| Dean |
And peanuts are legumes!
|
||||||
| Bobi |
My computer has been at the shop for the last four days and I have gone nuts, not peanuts, just plain nuts!!! It crashed and I'm trying to get it back the way it was and nothing looks the same. I hate the high resolution, but at least I don't have to scroll on this site like I used to.
PuPu Platter yesterday and I ate everything in it!!! My stress level is over the top at the moment. Rib-Eye today, so doing better Missed everyone lots. Haven't had time to get on the Bus via my laptop because I've been teaching too much and out in the field too much. I'm glad it's Thursday tomorrow, closer to the weekend...but where did the week go, or the month!?!?! WTH has the year gone?!?!? |
||||||
| Dean |
Bobi,
It's good to have you back on the bus! I wish I could have been there to fix your system. I would have had it up and running just like you like it in no time. I hope you find time to ride this bus. It aint the same without ya!
|
||||||
| Bobi |
Thanks, Dean. It's been horrible the last few days. $250 later, I have a new-old computer. I wish you had been here too. I'm really having a problem getting used to the new set up and it has taken me 4 hours to reinstall all my add-ins. It also took me four years to get up to $210,000 in my Tripeaks game...and it's all gone. Sheeit!!!
|
||||||
| Suzanne |
Ouch! Glad you're back.
|
||||||

"The China Lake Buffet" (A Chinese food buffet) Salmon Shrimp Mussels Scallops Crab Legs (I ate some for Dean, too) Butter Iced Tea Wine Coolers |
||||||
| jeff |
Oh man, I'm drooling reading that list. 
|
||||||
| Susanne |
A seafood buffet - what a concept, especially in Wyoming! I'm jealous...
|
||||||
| kateryna |
Nevermind, I'm still waiting to find out what comprises a "PuPu Platter" 
|
||||||
| Bobi |
Pu Pu Platter:
Teryaki Ribs Paper Wrapped Chicken Shrimp Egg Roll, I give those to the kids!!!
|
||||||
| Dean |
Bobi,
We miss ya!
Hurry back soon!
|
||||||
| kateryna |
Ditto That pupu platter reminds me of the Japanese village combo: chicken, beef, seafood, miso soup. You can pick 3 items and I always pick 1 chicken and/or 1 beef and/or 1 seafood and ignore the steamed rice.
|
||||||
| Bobi |
Thanks guys, you are the best!!!!
Okay, here goes, now that I can eat again!

Bobi: Are those Atkins Shakes made with soy protein? Do you buy the channed or powdered ones?
Glad you are well again
|
||||||
| Bobi |
Kateryna,
They are the canned ones, so they are portable...no muss/no fuss! They do have soybean oil and lots of vitamins and minerals. Good to have on the road, when time is at a premium and you know you have to eat. They go down easily also when you don't have an appetite, which is my problem lately. |
||||||
| Bobi |

| Steve |
Bobi,
I'm assuming you are diabetic.. My question is,since you eat a low carb diet and your glucose levels are already going to be low,how does the insulin affect your blood sugar levels? what about mood,vigor,cognitive "stuff" Are you typeI or 2? |
||||||
| Bobi |
I am not diabetic. Just getting over pneumonia and am on antibiotics, galore. It is affecting my appetite big time.
I have lots of energy and am very cheerful and upbeat all the time.

|
||||||
| Bobi |
Thanks, Dean...yes, I'm back in full operation!
As you all can see, I decided to include Occupational activities in my Journal, because according to all sources, that counts as exercise. I also can see that if I'm working 10-12 hours a day, it's hard to go walking or biking, and of course swimming is out until May! |
||||||
| Heather |
I would consider 5 miles as a form of exercise.
|
||||||
| Alisa |
Me too! |
||||||
| Bobi |
Thank you ladies!!! | ||||||

|

We were attending a seminar, gambling and drinking. Of course, we lost!
