56 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | DECEMBER 2021 Elvis is in the house! So I thought I would enjoy a friendly game of paddle tennis. After several good rallies, the opponents made a drop shot. At first I thought of rushing to the net but, "Wise men say only fools rush in." So I stayed back. Still I was "Caught in a trap, can't get out!" Here I thought they were going to "Love Me Tender," but there is no mercy in paddle tennis. They fired fast balls at my body. I had to protect my "Hunk, a hunk of burning love." After that I was "All Shook Up." Now I was thinking I should have gone to "Blue Hawaii" or had "Fun in Acapulco." I pleaded with them "Don't Be Cruel," but it was to no avail. So there was nothing left to do. I returned to my "Heartbreak Hotel" a loser. The last thing I heard was "Elvis has left the building!" Come out and have fun playing paddle tennis. There may be Elvis sightings in the future. You never know. Author: Terry Miller. ~ Syed Ali, o2browing@aol.com Paddle Tennis We are building a snowman in Southern California. Well, not a real snowman, but one that represents the amazing weight loss success of our group. Each week, if the net weight for the group is a loss, our snowman gets another part. Last week, the weight loss was 12 pounds. So, our snowman has a body. We have until the end of the year to get him built. These are tricky weeks for eating healthy, and so we have been accumulating recipes with fewer calories. In October we taste tested low-calorie, low-fat, crustless pumpkin pie. The recipe was easy and just as tasty as regular pumpkin pie. We also tested apple chips made by thin slicing an apple, adding spices, and slow baking them. They were delicious, chewy, and super low calorie. We are no longer using the term Biggest Loser. "Big" has a connotation as does "Loser." So, our top weight- loss members are now Thinner Winners. Last month, Sue Hilberg was the Thinner Winner with Charles Caldera the runner up. Congratulations to them both! You may find that a group like TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) can help you as well. We meet now on Tuesday at 8:30 am in the Ballroom. For more information call Andi Henderson (918) 497- 6491. ~ Andi Henderson TOPS
