Gotta Get Fit

The calendar says, 'Not a moment too soon'
    I've got to fit in my swimsuit by the fifteenth of June

  I suppose I could ask doc for a quick tummy tuck
    But I'd rather the knife boiled chicken feathers pluck

Do men think about such things! I say buy a new suit if the other doesn’t fit. ;)

A fun write. If you need a swimsuit by June 15, then go with shorts/top. Have a blessed day..............

Hi Gershon, my doc always concerned that I am too thin..lol I see myself as a balloon? But I am more the size of a doorknob, I do know the damage weight causes on heart and muscles. I avoid sugar anything~ as cancer loves sugar. I rarely eat high card anything I was fatter 40 years ago. Good luck Good poem. Pangie

I am shedding ounces day by day by day. Really. If I live long enough, I'll weigh nothing!

The more I feel the need to diet My senses go deaf and quiet They know that I love to eat And dieting is too big a feat.

Somehow, I caught the bug again. i think it's because I walk around the house (inside) 6 times before eating and 6 times after.. It's making a difference, I see. One week and counting, so far. :) gw
