I’m blocking Dr. Atkins from this post.

He can never read this…

 

 

 

You see, my birthday is the last day of this month.

I’ve been so good Dr. Atkins’ing it.

I really have.

 

(Pat-on-the-Back;  Happy Dancing;  Fist-Pumps;  Hoots & Whistles.)

 

 

I’ve lost forty pounds………………….really it’s only because I can move again.

Two new/artificial hips and two new/artificial knees can have that affect on a person.

My doctor asked me what I did for exercise to loose the weight………………

I said I lived on a farm.

She followed-up with, but what do you do for exercise?…………………

………………There was a cultural/communication break-down right there.

………………….so I just told her I had a stationery/recumbent bicycle.

She was happy then.

I left it at that.

……………………really what it takes is sweating your guts out in a swamp, fixing a shorting-out electric fence over and over again………………..

That’ll drop poundage on anybody.

 

 

 

BUT————I’ll turn sixty-four on June 30th.

 

 

 

Who would have thought!        I would have even put odds against it.

So, I’m breaking my diet.

It’s been all planned out…………….

***************Protracted Caloric Mayhem will ensue***************

#1.     Hole-In-One Donut Shop will be visited and multiple dozens will be purchased………………..and not the simple, pristine, bare-bones fried-cakes or Johnny cakes…………….MAIS NON!!!

The goopy, hideously colored, stickiest-ones we can find———–with nuts and frosting and glaze and custard and cream…………a fist-full of cholesterol……….and not the good kind.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Yum~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

 

Then immediately on to the birthday cake.

 

 

 

 

#2.     Home-made~~~

 

 

 

 

Sachertorte………………..made with the darkest, best chocolate that we can find over here………………..Europe has the best-est chocolate……………….here, we have to settle in desperation…

 

 

But still……………..a sachertorte………………

 

And then for dinner……………hmmmmmmmmm.

 

 

More donuts?

 

And then, more sachertorte for dessert!

Yep, that’s my plan…

Oh, and I’ve asked for a portable radiation detector——-Paolo, are you reading this post?————-that’s what I want for a present.

I’ve already stated my disclaimer in a previous post…………..I’m a bit of a paranoid-conspiratorialist………………and I like sushi………………and………… Fukushima Daiichi DID happen.

It pays to be careful……………….while eating donuts, sachertorte…
