After the Game

Super bowl Sunday ended yesterday I was sure my diet had won I did not prevail when I saw the scale and it read my old weight plus one So now that football won’t be back ‘til fall I will get back to it again No more tasty sweets cookies, pies or treats and this time I’m going to win Going to work out that’s what it’s about making my flabby muscles strong I look at the road and see it has snowed so starting today might be wrong

your poem expresses a truth many football fans are now experiencing. My husband hopes, like you, to get back to it again...a challenge especially in winter. Best wishes with your fitness goals. have a great evening, Sara

At least the weather is getting warmer to allow outside walking.

For so many of us, it's the 'Super Bowl of Cheetos' or some such... Good luck.

Thank Gershon. Chicken wings, smokies, chips and dip...enough to cause a heart attack.
