It's All About Willpower, Baby

Following the holiday season, and after perusing family pictures from said season, and having queried myself, "When and how did that happen?!!!", I resolved - there's that word - to get the old physiognomy back into - if not photogenic, at least somewhat less gravitationally improbable - proportions.

So I've quit with the between meal snacks, mostly. I've stopped rummaging through the freezer compartment for Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate, much of the time. I've sent food back to the kitchen when it was too big a portion, once, maybe twice. I've stepped up my exercise program, once or twice a week, And I'm thrilled to announce that, only twenty-five days into the new regime, I've already shed

One and one half pounds.

Sharing my momentous news with the Little Lady, she smiles that Cheshire Cat smile and says, "Way to go, big fella."

Now that's motivation.
