wow. 3 miles to start with might be a bit much. i know for me, i gotta start

shorter distances and work up. i was just reading about a guy who started

walking in the pool for 20 minutes at a time. he built up to 21 minutes and then

up from there. after changing his eating habits and building up his exercise,

he'd dropped from 600 pounds to 175.

A kilometer is a little more than a half mile. For a quick and dirty

estimate, divide the kilos by 2. To get an exact equivalent, multiply

kilometers by .6. 3 miles = 1.8 k.

[Guest guest]

Your formula looks right, but wouldn't 3 miles = 5 kilometers rather than 1.8?

a it .6 times 5

Not .6 times 3

[Guest guest]

or 3 divided by .6

Elaine,

Your formula looks right, but wouldn't 3 miles = 5 kilometers rather

than 1.8?

opps, you're right, a. i had done it backward. I should have

divided the miles rather than multiple them.

Thanks

Dear Bill, I am glad that you are approaching this on a very realistic

level. There is nothing more defeating than setting goal to high or more

under motivating than setting them too low. My Dad always says that if you

take a course and you get 100% you have under estimated the course or

something like that. I was also wondering if you were taking any

supplements of any kind. They may help you lose weight if your diet is

missing something. Also I have a recipe for a power drink from one of the

former Toronto Maple Leafs which I have upgraded and improved. It consists

of Plain yogurt, Orange Juice, Bananas, Strawberries, and Honey. I also

have a lady friend at work who adds Cranberry Coctail and Breyers Sorbet.

She says it's almost a religious experience, which means you've died and

gone to heaven. Hope you enjoy. If I can be of any help in the future

please let me know. TC Carl

All of those ingredients are in my kitchen at this moment except the yogurt. Am running out and getting the yogurt now. Yes, it does sound like a heavenly indulgence. Will leave off the cranberry and Breyers for now and save them for a special occasion. Thanks for sharing.

Now, if someone will just share a recipe using broccoli and/or cauliflower. I love both, but my usual way to serve them involves sauces loaded with bad things -MW

Dear Labtrek1941,

One futher note on the power drink. IF you freeze your fruit it will

condense the sugar and you will not need any honey or sugar. I so this with

bananas especially. When they get almost too ripe I peel and split them and

throw them into a freezer bag and wait till I need them. I have also tried

rhubarb(?) with somewhat disastrous results. I was living at my

Grandmothers' house a number of years ago and had a similar recipe without

the yogurt. I had to buy frozen rhubarb and had forgotten to put it in the

freezer after coming home from shopping. I figured I had to make it up

right then. I put a couple of cups of the stuff in the blender and added

some water, placed the lid on the machine and turned it on. The rhubarb

just went whoosh and stuck to the side of the blender bottle and didn't do

anything. I figured that i could take the lid off and take a spatula and

push it down and everthing would be fine. Do you know that rhubarb sticks

to walls, cupboards and ceilings. I didn't but apparently God did or

whoever runs this planet. I had forgotten about Mr. Gravity and when he

came knocking we had a little clean up party. Needless to say Granny was

not a happy camper. She also used to blame me for pluging up the sink drain

with strawberry seeds. Unfortunately the lady who had rented out the apt

before me used to dump her fryer fat and coffee grounds down the sink. Oh

well, such is life. take care. Sincerely Carl French Hamilton Ontario.

Thanks Beth, Sounds really good, and I will try it. I am a "moderation in all things" person also, at least in philosophy, and more and more, in reality, and I use butter sparingly rather than margerine. Love the idea of the fish with it. Our fresh, local seafood is just becoming safe to eat again. Hurricane Katrina made local seafood unsafe to eat for a time, and, boy, have we missed it. W.

Carl,

My three Labs thank you for the dog biscuit recipe. I plan to make some for

them today. Thanks from me, too

You're more than welcome . I grew up with labs as a child and have a

real soft spot for them. My first had thirteen pups. Unfortunately we lost

two of them and sold one. the rest we gave to a pet store. We travelled up

to our uncles cottage for a vacation when I was about 4 and the dog was in

heat. We were travelling in a 1954 Minor and the Trani went in

a little town called Dorset not far from our destination. We didn't know

the dog was in heat and every dog in town chased her into one of the general

stores and fortunately not one of them got her. When the pups were born (

in the middle of a party my parents were having for colleagues of my dad at

IBM) one of them had a white spot on its' chest. The old male down in the

valley had a white spot on its chest too so we knew got her. So much for

our canine history. How's yours? Carl in Hamilton

Carl, The one Lab litter I raised, a first (and last) litter for the mom,

was also 13 puppies. Labs often have large litters. I never had a lab until

about 15 years ago. The people who keep my horses were serious Lab field

trialers and gave me one. He was an exceptional dog, and I have had Labs

ever since. I was raised with German Shepherds, and I still love them, but

the modern American types have such a huge incidence of joint dysplasia, and

they are such smart, high energy dogs. I am a little too old and laid back

for that. I evacuated to North Carolina after Hurricane Katrina for a month

with my three Labs, a foster Lab and my brother's German Shepherd. The

German Shepherd was smarter than me and the four Labs put together. I love

border collies also, as long as they belong to someone else. Again, too

smart and high energy for me. It is good to know oneself, strengths and

shortcomings. W.
