Back On Track

Been gaining some pounds since moving here Getting back on track once more No more cake with two scoops of ice cream I'm as dedicated as I was before Resisting temptation is the name of the game Will power sure comes into play Without it you're doomed right from the start Keep chomping away on fillets Did it before so failing's not an option Determined as I was back then Too much poundage can be a dangerous thing Going to lose a bunch once again Do I hear you cheering me on, my friends Well thank you for your support I'll keep you posted on how I'm doing Kinda like a progress report Trust me I'm as confident as I've ever been Did it once and will do it again But if for some reason I don't achieve my goal Got no one but myself to blame © Jack Ellison 2014

Hey! Dragon can help here! He's great on incentive. He can snatch anything, from any one's hand faster than you can blink! And you'll be exercising better... as he chases you with his flame! And he can sluth out hidden pockets of goodies hidden any where around! So if you don't lose weight my friend... it'll truly be quite a a shame, I do tell! In for a penny... or in for a pound... His motto is: your weight will come off... Or he'll fricassee ALL the food he finds any where around!

I relate completely to this, Jack. I have found out that losing and gaining back makes it more difficult to lose it again. Hope you succeed.
