Weight Gain Holiday Bane

StevLL

Two days till thanksgiving,
and all through the house.
There was baking and cooking,
for way more than a mouse.

We said screw gluten free,
it’s holiday time.
Now we had our excuse,
hope the tummy feels fine.

So we cooked and we ate,
and we bloated and grew.
Tomorrow the diet
but we really knew.

Our anniversary now,
is just two weeks away.
B&B and fireplace,
what a cozy stay.

We say to ourselves,
just as soon as we’re home.
We’ll jump on the bike
like we never left Rome.

But Christmas was coming,
goodies abound.
We kept expanding and growing,
excuses all round.

Two months since the New Year ,
things settled down.
Felt miserable enough,
to stop being a clown.

Got back to basics,
got back on the bike.
Now back to clean eating,
ready to fight.

The moral of the story
As we all know
If we fall off our path
Our waists surely grow.

So dust off your shoulders,
say goodbye to your shame.
Stay focused, be happy,
and bring your best game!
