and to all a good diet!

Howdy All!

Just got back from a delicious dinner with the fam and our wonderful neighbors!

Ok, Check out this super cute poem my girlfriend sent me today...had to share...

T'was the month after Christmas,
And all through the house,
Nothing would fit me,
Not even a blouse.


The cookies I'd nibbled,
The chocolate I'd taste
At the holiday parties
Had gone to my waist.


When I got on the scales
There arose such a number!
When I walked to the store
(less a walk than a lumber)


I'd remember the marvelous meals I'd prepared;
The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared,
The wine and the rum balls, the bread and the cheese
And the way I'd never said, " No thank you , please."
As I dressed myself in my husband's old shirt
And prepared once again to do battle with dirt...

I said to myself, as I only can,

"You can't spend a winter, disguised as a man!"
So, away with the last of the sour cream dip .
Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip.
Every last bit of food that I like must be banished
Till all the additional ounces have vanished.

I won't have a cookie, not even a lick.
I'll want only to chew on a long celery stick.

I won't have hot biscuits, or corn bread, or pie.
I'll munch on a carrot and quietly cry.
I'm hungry, I'm lonesome, and life is a bore...
But isn't that what January is for?
Unable to giggle, no longer a riot.
Happy New Year to all, and to all a good diet.

Isn't that the best...I love it!

I think I could have written that poem.
Good luck with the new challenge and I can't wait.
