JIM'S FLAB-O-GRAPH

‘Flab-O-Graph’ for February 2012

Another four-pounds—or a half-gallon of flab—toward my goal. I did fall off the "lifestyle change" wagon (this is a lifestyle change, not a diet), but am back on the treadmill each morning during the TV news and replacing chocolate donuts withr salty, crunchy dill pickles (0 calories, 0 fat). Thanks for keeping me accountable!
