20-ounce bottle of thist stuff
Congratulations goes out to “NoLayupRule” over at realgm.com for winning the first ever “Most Valuable Nutrider” award. The award is presented to the Knicks fan who demonstrates their extreme love for Isiah Thomas no matter how awful a job he is doing. “NoLayupRule” has been riding Isiah’s nuts for about 3 years now and, the only thing that could possibly pry him off would be the Jaws of Life. Doubtful though.

Luckily, I don’t develop addictions very often, so cutting the caffeine out of my diet didn’t bother me. In the last month, I’ve had zero diet sodas, and I’ve had maybe four regular sodas. I can’t say cutting out soda has given me more energy since I’ve also been doing a lot of other things differently at the same time — but I don’t miss soda like I thought I would. I will occasionally drink a Cherry Coke (non-diet) at Ted’s, but that’s about it.
Except for Liquid ADD, that is.
Liquid ADD is the name I’ve given to Jolly Rancher soda. Cary and I found it a couple of weeks ago, and I decided to pick up a few bottles. I mainly wanted to see how much like a Jolly Rancher this stuff actually tasted. It’s startlingly accurate. We tried the watermelon, grape and green apple flavors, and aside from the facts that the stuff is carbonated, it tastes exactly like it’s hard candy counterpart.
Calorie-wise, it’s on par with most other sodas, but it’s so sweet, it tastes like it has a cup of sugar in it. Luckily for me I can only drink about six ounces of the stuff at a time. I can’t imagine the amount of energy that would be released if a small child drank a 20-ounce bottle of thist stuff.
Jolly Rancher soda is neat in a novelty kind of way, but it’s in no way as bizarre as the Jones Holiday Soda assortment. I don’t have to try that stuff to know it’s evil. With flavors like Cranberry Sauce, Turkey & Gravy, Herb Stuffing and Pumpkin Pie, it seems as though Jones Soda is attempting to catapult the novelty beverage industry into a Jetsonsesque futureworld where an entire meal can be ingested in a single unnatural form (pellets, wafers, gum, etc.) It’s the quaffable Thanksgiving dinner, only without the nutrition and tryptophan-induced coma*.

*I know that the tryptophan in turkey is NOT the reason why thanksgiving dinners make a person pass out, and that it’s really just the overload of carbs. . . but it’s a fun myth to perpetuate.
So it wasn’t super hard to order, I got this scallop dish that normally has pasta, but I requested extra asparagus instead. It was good, not a whole lot of food, but I was moderately full.
Afterwards, I made my escape to my scale having friends house. I guess it was a bad time to weigh myself==night, I had just eaten, clothes on etc.. In any case I think I lost 4 lbs. By THINK, is that I mean, the last time I weighed myself, I was butt-nekkid, post sex, at this bozo’s house to whom I no longer speak. His scale was pretty damn old, and this one was fresh out of the box. I can tell I’ve lost some by how my clothes fit. Like this blouse I am wearing today normally sort of stretches a lot in the chest area. Not today!!!
Regardless, I have 50lbs to go. I want to be the 123 I was. Its seem so impossible. So far away. i can’t even think of how I got to that weight so long ago. I forgot what it feels like. I have to accept, I am going to have to excercise. We get paid next week, and I am going to Curves. I dont’ know if i’ve mentioned it, but all my weight is truly in my gut. I have a big belly and little legs. Though not as little as they once were….

not sure who to give credit too, but it sure is funny!
