me and my spare tire

i've had a long relationship with my spare tire and now i'm almost sad to see it go. but secretly i'm elated. suddenly when i look down, i can see my navel, a friend i haven't seen in years.

it's far from washboard and a little squishy but that midsection is almost gone. the battle now is to get rid of the lower bulge ... my arch nemesis!

the great thing is that i can now "suck it in". man oh man! i can't remember the last time i was able to "suck it in". i thot i had to resign to "letting it all hang out" till kingdom come.

ahhhh .... life's little pleasures : )
