EXERCISE!




Every day I am bombarded
In each direction that I turn
By those who claim that EXERCISE
Causes flab to crash and burn!

I did jumping jacks and sit ups
Went out and bought that darn machine
The one that guarantees in 30 days
I'd be trim and fit and lean...

I put it in the extra room
That we affectionately call the "gym"
With all the other paraphenalia
That will one day make me slim!

Ab mats for doing crunches
A small tramp to run in place
That awful, go-nowhere pedaling bike
That only leaves me red of face!

I have workout clothes and sweat bands
Even a "get-fit" coffee cup!
But that scale hasn't budged an inch
So, I'm on the verge of giving up!

I've just about convinced myself
That it's true what some folks say...
You have heard it too......Eat Right!
Get Fit? Die anyway!!

So for those who are devoted
To trying to make me over, PLEASE!
If God wanted me to touch my toes
He would have put them on my knees!

I believe He loves us as we are
That includes both big AND small
So when I reach the gates of Heaven
It will be with flab and all!



Food For Thought




When we were young girls, so fresh in our teens
We'd go on our diets, to look good in our jeans!
And of course, at that age, we'd starve now and then
The obvious reason, was to look good for men!

Then, in our 20's, we'd push food away
To look good for the boyfriends, we chose for the day!
Our 30's, the same "sorry, cannot eat that
My guy may not love me if I start getting FAT!

Thank God, in our 40's, we've learned from mistakes
We must push away pizza and candy and cakes..
So we feel good, feel healthy, love ourselves once again
Then just sit back and laugh, and outlive all those men!!!!!
