So…who should be our victim this year?

A better question probably is: Which of these diet programs have the Vollmer already attempted??? You’d be surprised!

Since we’re not in a financial position to pay for those “We supply the food” programs, I guess LA Weight Loss, Nutrisystem and Jenny Craig are out.

Did anyone else notice the number of weight-loss program commercials during Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve???

One of the ones I noticed was a “free” Weight Watchers online program, that doesn’t involve the meetings and weigh-ins…hmmm….

…okay, I just went to the link and it immediately kicked me to a signup page to include things like “Payment Plan”…WTF???

Off to taking the kids to school/the gym. I foresee the gym being PACKED! Sigh…

The New Year’s Resolution — who thought of that???

Not to sound like Jerry Seinfeld, but it’s a topic of conversation Dave and I have every year. Why do we need to have a New Year’s Resolution? I think Dave put it right yesterday during the Dick Clark New Year’s show when this girl was going thru the crowds asking everyone’s resolutions:

“If I think I need to improve something about myself, I’ll start improving immediately and not wait till January 1st.”

Of course, one of things we always do on Jan. 2nd is start our Annual Vollmer Diet Attempt. We’re coming up on the 13th Annual Vollmer Diet Attempt tomorrow! Yep — lose 10 pounds by Feb. 1st! Whoo hoo, the enthusiasm is there, can’t you tell???
