My song for a new day...!
I've binged
I've indulged
I've wished I'd purged
coz now all contours and definitions of my body have merged!!
My food-sins have been appalling
Time away from the gym been quite unsettling
Time to saddle up and get pedaling
Renew goals, resolve them tight, and get battling!
The motivation was to feel fit and fearlessly outdoorsy
To not get winded on stairs nor crash topsy turvy!
Rewards were to look amazing in sexy clothes and a hot body,
To improve my health stats and look younger well after forty!
To boost my self-image and feel sexier than ever,
to run, dance, flirt, and charm forever!
So with this memo to myself, I am now ready to fly,
Treadmill or gravel--I'm not scared to defy!
carbs, bad fats, white stuff, and alcohol to deny,
Instead, green outdoors, good friends, and summer breezes blowing by,
colorful meals,good sweaty fun and pumping iron will make me high!!
One last thing, before I off and run,
I need to remind myself of the penalties of uncontrolled fun,
carbs begets carbs, lack of water causes instant bloat,
out of control food habits will truly sink my boat,
hard earned losses will come doubling back,
I'll be pushed so far back that impossible will be a return on track!
Ill-fitting clothes, unflattering pictures,
fatigue and poor mood will be permanent fixtures,
self-loathing and feelings of failure and doom,
For these evils, in my treasure trove there really is no room!!
Thus, I can't afford to slip and slide,
Coz the price of setbacks is a stinging slap on my pride,
Misery will ensue from the failure to abide,
so let me just quit this downward ride!!
ok? ok!!
