Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

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

Carol Eastman February 14, 2014 at 9:13 AM 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! Jack Ellison February 14, 2014 at 2:42 PM Kinda scary but thank Dragon for his encouragement! XOXOXOX

Jerry Bolton February 13, 2014 at 9:07 AM 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. Jack Ellison February 14, 2014 at 2:40 PM The vicious 'yo-yo dieting... difficult to break!

Russell Sivey February 13, 2014 at 6:39 AM You'll succeed and make your goal my friend, I just know that you will! You have the willpower to succeed, so I know you'll finish with flying colors! I am always proud of all your success Jack, I'm positive I'll be full of pride again with this goal! You can do it!! What a fantastic poem that I've read here this morning, Great Work!!
