    I'm sorry the print is so small! On my computer I can read the text. Ugh.

The headings are most important. It is amazing to me that soda is so bad for us but people continue to drink it like water!

Drink more water!!

    I tried zooming in on the page, but unfortunately, the print was blurred. To zoom in you either hit View - Zoom in, or you hold down the CTRL button and press + until it is as large as you want it.
But you can still see each of the areas that are affected by soda, and I'm sure that none of the descriptions are about any good effects. So soda hurts you all over.

    It looks like a good graphic, but I don't know how to make it big enough to read

Goal reward

Saturday, May 18, 2013

Hubby and I have been talking about a reward for losing 100lbs each. We finally decided to take a vacation to the beach! Where we actually fly and spend a week away from work, laundry, etc. The only sad part is leaving Max but he is too young to appreciate Mommy's idea of a week at the beach.

What better incentive to lose 55 more pounds??

I CAN DO IT!

Listerine

Friday, May 17, 2013

I have seen this everywhere and have to share. Facebook, pinterest, I even received it in an email so now I am blogging about it. I have not tried this but will be doing so this weekend.

Listerine: the BEST way to get your feet ready for summer.

Sounds crazy but it works! Mix 1/4c Listerine (any kind but I like the blue), 1/4c vinegar and 1/2c of warm water. Soak feet for 10 minutes and when you take them out the dead skin will practically wipe off!

Water vs. Coke

Thursday, May 09, 2013

Very interesting indeed! Water or Coke? We all know that water is important but I’ve never seen it written down like this before.

WATER
1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.

2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.

3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one’s metabolism as much as 30%.

4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.

5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.

7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.

8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.

And now for the properties of COKE

1. In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the truck to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.

2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in two days.

3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the “real thing” sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.

4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.

5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.

6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.

7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.

8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.

For Your Info
1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase in osteoporosis.

2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the Hazardous material place cards reserved for Highly corrosive materials.

3. The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!

Now the question is, would you like a glass of water or coke?

emoticon for me please!!

    I have used coke for the laundry, the battery terminals, and the toilets and it does somewhat work.

I do know several people who drink coke all day long and they haven't dissolved yet, in fact I think they are getting bigger.

Kind of makes you wonder what our insides are made of.
