This is a common phrase used in our family. We say it in reference to things that are kind of no brainers. Like if you want to lose weight you have to eat right and exercise, etc. Well this week Cindy emailed me the link to a really funny video that is the embodiment of that phrase in the context of our current economic crisis. If only we could have all stuck with the plan instead of following the fad diets that seem so attractive and provide such instant though not long lasting results.
