How to lose 4 pounds in 24 hours

The fastest way to jumpstart a diet:

Go to your local sandwich chain and order the same sandwich you always order every time. Think to yourself, "Hmmmm, this tastes a little different." Wait 36 hours, and your weight loss will begin!

Ala and I both have spent the last two days in bed enjoying our instant weight loss (we shared the sandwich). It's a miserable way to do it, for sure.

She and I had to send our regrets with Hubby today. He's at his Dad's house enjoying Christmas celebrations with his side of the family. #1 Son and his family were supposed to be there, but his wife hurt her back and she's not getting around well. They were unable to go, as well. We're just one, big, wimpy family!

On the fateful sandwich day, we'd been to OKC for shopping. Hubby needs a table for his office, and I need something to put in the kitchen so I can get all the larger small appliances off the kitchen counter. I found a stainless steel work table at Sam's that can sit along one wall and give a new home to the microwave and the large mixer. That will give me much more cabinet space in the kitchen upon which I can pile junk. Right now, my junk piles are pretty squished together. They need some elbow room.

Unfortunately, we were in the car and didn't have room to tote it home. We'll have to go back with the truck, originally planned for tomorrow, but may be postponed for another week.

Next week is billing week. I'm praying for a miraculous recovery by Monday morning. Since billing is starting three days late because of the holiday and weekend, I need to be 100%.
