This is a BIG time of the year for everyone to go to the beach, and many of our friends are fortunate enough to have a place on the Eastern Shore. For many of our Game Friends, the Eastern Shore also means all those things that normal dieters find "forbidden" : Thrasher's Fries, Fisher's Popcorn, Frozen Custard and the like...not to forget the delicious "adult beverages" that are usually thrown in coolers, huggies and fun plastic cups...
So what does a group like ours do in a situation like this?? Throw up our hands and say oh well?? For many of us, we are changing our lives, one day at a time...which includes the days we are at the beach. So, for the first year, possibly ever, we add to those fun things above, a swim in the ocean...a good swim or a long hard walk on the boardwalk, or, according to two or three different friends, a run or walk down the InterCoastal Highway.
Which then brings me back to the warning above...which for some reason, is still giving me the giggles. One of our seasoned gamers, who happens to be younger than most of us, although only a few of us know that, heeded a warning to a newer gamer who voiced plans to walk on the InterCoastal Highway.... L.D. stated to "watch for the turkeys" because on her run earlier that week, she had seen a wild turkey on her run!! Oh my!! I am picturing my sweet L.D. running with her blond, long ponytail behind suddenly running faster and then seeing my other friend (who really wasn't there at the same time, but it makes the story better) like this:
The moral of the story is, B.M. did lose weight on her first week at the beach as L.D. is proving she can do too, by adding in a factor that was not always there before...watching what they eat and throwing in some good old fashion, turkey escaping exercise!! Here's to the second week of June and STILL PLAYING THE GAME OF A LIFETIME!! GO FRIENDS!!
