[GCFL-discuss] T'was the week after Christmas

[gcfl-discuss at gcfl.net]

Thanks Frank, that was great!  We had not heard from you in awhile.  Happy New Year! 
I'm going back to South Beach, (that is diet)  
Over Christmas I ate everything that didn't move.  But worked my South Beach when I could, and continued to exercise, so I only gained a little. 
I love this way of healthy eating.  The desserts in South Beach are sufficient, and you don't have to go hungry.
I feel it is part of my responsibility as a parent, & grandparent, to maintain a healthy lifestyle. 
The Obesity in our country is hurting us.  I wish more people would try the South Beach.  
Carla

  T'was The Week After Christmas 
  'Twas the week after Christmas, and all through the house 
  Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse. 
  The cookies I'd nibble, the eggnog I'd taste 
  All the holiday parties had gone to my waist. 
  When I got on the scales, there arose such a number! 
  When I walked to the store (less a walk than a lumber). 
  I'd remember the marvelous meals I'd prepared; 
  The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared... 
  The wine and the rumballs, the bread and the cheese 
  And the way I'd never said, "No thank you, please." 
  As I dressed myself in my husband's old shirt 
  And prepared once again to battle the dirt... 
  I said to myself, as I only can 
  "You can't spend a winter dressed like a man!" 
  So...away with the last of the sour cream dip, 
  Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip. 
  Every last bit of food that I like must be banished 
  'Till all the additional ounces have vanished. 
  I won't have a cookie, not even a lick, 
  I'll want only to chew on a long celery stick. 
  I won't have hot biscuits, or cornbread, or pie, 
  I'll munch on a carrot and quietly cry. 
  I'm hungry, I'm lonesome, and life is a bore... 
  But isn't that what January is for? 
  Unable to giggle, no longer a riot 
  Happy New Years to All and to All a Good Diet
