A Small Chrismas Miracle

Sometimes things just work out in my favor without a huge effort on my part. I've been cruising along on the Swartzbein diet without too much thought and stalled out at a 9 pound weight loss. I spent too many days getting up on the scale only to be bitterly disappointed, so I quit looking for awhile.

I finally decided to get back on the scale the other day (I usually avoid the scale like the plague as it has only ever meant bad news) and, lo and behold, I have lost 15 pounds now. To say that I was surprised is a total understatement. So the Swartzbein Principle has been working steadily away. Of course, I finally gave up alcohol as she suggested (that happened about 2 weeks ago). That was a big step for me as I love me a glass of vino with my dinner. But, hey, losing 15 pounds is a nice substitute.

I'm still going on and off of coffee though. Gad, but that one is kicking me to the curb. I know it's got to go.....
