It’s about time.  This whole airline thing is getting out of control!

The Wheel of Life: Part II

Tonight Michelle and I returned to the Wheel of Life resturant in Irvine. But tonight we went armed with the knowledge that the Stuffed Tofu Surprise was not great, and that we did like the Sweet and Sour Pork, very much!

So this time we ordered three dishes. We agreed that we both liked the Sweet and Sour Pork and that was a must have, but we both wanted to pick out something new as well. Here is what we ordered:

Michelle chose the Brocilli Beef (not real beef, remember this place is vegiterian).

While swimming is great for increasing lung capacity, toning muscles, and even helping to burn off excess tension, Harr says the surprising truth is that unless you are swimming for hours a day, it may not help you lose much weight.”Because the buoyancy of the water is supporting your body, you’re not working as hard as it would if, say, you were moving on your own steam — like you do when you run,” says Harr.

Further, he says, it’s not uncommon to feel ravenous when you come out of the water.

“It may actually cause you to eat more than you normally would, so it can make it harder to stay with an eating plan,” he says.
