Day 40 and 20 pounds gone.

Got on my scale a half hour ago and still 20 pounds gone.

The pounds are coming off very reluctantly but they will come off in
the fullness of time. In the movie, "My Cousin Vinnie," Joe Pesci asks
a hapless witness on the stand in a courtroom how long it took his
grits to cook and the witness says, "Three minutes, I guess." And
Pesci follows up with: "You mean to tell me that you can cook your
grits in three minutes when it takes the rest of the grit-eating
people of the world five minutes to cook their grits? ... Are the laws
of physics suspended in your kitchen?" Well the laws of physics are
not suspended in my kitchen. If I continue to eat fewer calories than
I burn, the weight will HAVE to come off.

I am going to go up my little hill tonight - I didn't do it last
night. Today I'm off to a conference and those are always a lot of
fun.

I hope everyone has a great Friday, a great weekend, and a great week
and month ahead! Not much fun avoiding good-tasting food but it has to
be done to lose weight and get healthier!

Yours truly,


Caleb
