St. Euphrosynos Taverna and Ouzeri 29

[Michael G]

Michael I am impressed with you planting and all!!

The trip killed us... but the people are so nice and we love that area.

when we move down there permanately (hopefully sometime this summer) we could meet all of you living in the PA area. I was so shocked to see that there are Orthodox theology classes at the community colleges ...you guys are so lucky I hope my daughter will have the priveledge to take a few cources when she goes to college there.

God bless,
Philothei

That would be cool, having a PA or local get together. Maybe those in NJ and MD could even manage to join up?

That is so nice that she will be coming!

I take it for granted that my mom lives 20 minutes away, and my out-laws (lol) are only 3.5 hours away.

Outlaws? LOL!

 

[Anatole]

I'm really happy my moms coming. It will give us all a chance to hopefully get her out of her rut!!!
We own an industrial supply business and we have 9 employees and my husband is very busy and stressed out because of all the drama amongst the employees. I've never seen him this stressed and since he's about 60 pounds overweight and heart attacks run in his family I'm really scared! Please pray for him!!!

 

[Michael G]

Everyone have a great day, I am off to work!

 

[BabyLutheran]

stole the term "outlaws" from a co-worker.

Anatole, if you want me to tell you what I did to get this weight off, shoot me a pm. I am more than happy to help your hubby. My dad died at 44 from heart disease, so I had the same fears.

 

[Anatole]

OWBE- He's so busy all day that by the time he gets around to eating he over indulges. He gets up around 3:30 every morning and works till about 6:30. Then he comes home and eats and is in bed usually by 8:00. There's not a lot of time to exercise, but that's what he needs more to help him lose the weight than dieting. Maybe when we get our workout room completed in the basement, it will motivate him.
Prayers right now for his business to run more smoothly is what he needs most. His name is Kelly.
Thanks so much!!!

It is 90% diet, and 10% exercise. He just needs to eat more often with less at each meal. I eat 6 times a day, about 350 calories per meal. It sounds really hard, but it's not. I eat a lot of tuna in those zip pouches. I also drink protein shakes, and cook broccoli, green beans, etc in the microwave. There is a brand called Birdseye Steamers that come in a microwaveable bag, you just throw the bag in for 5 minutes and then rip it open and dump it on a paper plate. There is also Uncle Ben's Brown rice that comes in a microwave pouch, that takes 90 seconds to cook.

Here is my typical day:

6 am: Protein shake (either EAS prepacked, or I mix 2 scoops of protein powder in 2 cups of water, and 10 ice cubes, in the blender)

9am: Same thing

12 noon: zip pouch of tuna, bag of broccoli, half a pouch of brown rice.

3pm: protein shake, other half of the brown rice

6pm: whatever my wife cooks, just eat one serving.

9pm: 1 cup of cottage cheese.

It works and I am never too hungry.

I will pray for Kelly. I know what he's feeling like, I was there. I am 200lbs and 5'9", formerly 240lbs.

The hardest part is the first week, just encourage him to try it for a week.

Mike

 

[Anatole]

Thanks Mike! That sounds a lot like what I did at Jenny Craig. I ate in a similar way and lost 35 pounds a couple of years ago. I've 'fallen off the wagon' so to speak, and have put back on 15 pounds. I know what to do for myself to get it back off, but I'm too lazy and I have a weakness for anything chocolate!!!

 

[BabyLutheran]

Yeah, I gained a few back myself. I made the mistake of eating Dairy Queen blizzards a few times, and now I am hooked on them. I might as well go shoot heroin. lol

 

[Anatole]

LOL!!! I love those too! Also Goodtimes Spoon Benders!!! Drooling!!!
We have to stop talking about this, I'm too weak!
I need to go address my sons graduation invitations, I'll talk to you later.

Hello evreyone. Looks like Im leaving Florida just in time what with these Storms and fires

 

[Khaleas]

Cruising by again among the loads of laundry... everything has to go through the washer at least once. Boat smell sticks to things like nothing else. UGH!!! Plus the smartie had packed a flight suit that was not completely dried so they all STINK now and they're in the washer for the third time. Can't put anything else except liquid detergent on them either because of the fire retardent treatment.
Three loads left and then it needs to be folded and put away...
Ok, time to unglue the husband from his laptop...

Can the flight suit handle some baking soda in the wash?

My grandpa was an oil well worker, and my grandma washed his clothes with Pine Sol, it worked great!

 

[Komnenos]

Hey evreyone! Im on the plane on my blackberry until its time to leave! See you tomorrow

 

[BabyLutheran]

Hi Don, hope you had a good day!

If I join a Greek church, do I have to start liking Ouzo?!? lol

 

[DonVA]

You just have to like saying "OPA!"

Actually, it turned out to be a pretty good day. Even had a "God moment." I wrote about it on Orthopraxis (under the "I've been robbed" thread in The Hall).

How was yours?

 

[Anatole]

I guess I better stay out of the Orthodox/Baptist forum. I'm the only one that got yelled at by Lisa! I don't care what anybody says, I still think it's because they don't want to take the time to educate themselves about the history of the church.
It all boils down to stubbornness and ignorance!!!
