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

[gcfl-discuss at gcfl.net]

I'm still on the South Beach Diet, lost about 30 lbs. so far.  Don't like the exercise but force myself to do it anyway.

Frank, how is your grandchild coming along. About 18 months now?? We are expecting #4  in August.

Dave.

  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.

    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
