So it’s a new year … which always seems to bring about those pesky resolutions … and apparently also those holiday pounds. So that must mean it’s time once again to try and lose some weight! Colour me ecstatic … woo … hoo …
Once again our little circle of friends is engaging in what we like to refer to as the Fat Losers. Clearly a riff on the NBC show Biggest Loser, but ours has a little bit more of an edge don’t yah think? Anyway our merry little band is keeping an eye on each other … watching each other’s waistlines and eating habits … trying to make sure that everyone is doing all they can to reach their goals.
But there are challenges. Take today for example. I’m out for a walk with a coworker … and he suggests a path … which goes RIGHT BY a sidewalk sale in a market where they’re selling half price fudge. I’ll let that soak in for a second. Half. Price. Fudge. I hope anyone who’s reading this can appreciate how hard it was to walk past that. After all, it’s been my wife who has instilled into me a sense of thriftiness and taking advantage of a sale wherever you can. Stupid fudge …
