As I speak, it’s been 49 weeks since I began my quest for the best body and abs
Although a little disquieting, faithfully, I’ve been dieting and exercising like mad
The dieting has not been hard because any hunger has been barred
By the amazing flax seed, a very good lead that I’m glad to have received.
And the exercising has not been bad, for which I’m more than relieved
I view it as my “me” time, a luxury sublime
101 pounds have I lost and as good as that sounds there’s more to go down
To be exact, and not speak in abstracts, that number’s a prime one—23.
But this last 23 may be the death of me
You see I have famine genes that in the past were a means of surviving
But in this age of plentiful food all with these genes are screwed
Since they make it hard when striving to lose.
My body resists letting go of this last bit
So now I must strategize to reach my perfect size
Two hours a day I work out, and about that I’m devout.
I never forget that my goal is to get fit—regaining my body, the prize.
A thousand crunches first thing in the morning,
Because I heeded the warning
I hate them the most so I do them post-haste
Then its 2 miles each day on the ski machine, also tackled early in the morning.
And on alternating days it’s either the weight craze
With the multi-gym, free weights, push-ups and isometric routines
Or the Pilates Reformer—that well-known body transformer
The adrenaline has hooked me; these are not simply a means to an end, but a way of life.
With all this, my body still resists letting go of the last 23
So I’ve had to resort to consulting various authorities for new exercise priorities
These experts say that each day you must keep your muscles confused
Don’t let them plateau; per their theories, constantly throw in something new.
So now I have Russian Kettlebells, which excel for Turkish Squats
A chin-up bar, which I hope won’t mar its mounting spot
Additional floor exercises for more muscle surprises and cardio
And more advanced routines for that Reformer machine, bought on video.
In the next 8 weeks I plan to lose the last 23
I want no fat on my bod so that my abs can be seen
I’m eager to reach my target weight, what I used to weigh when I really felt great
Yes, I’m going to lose this last 23 and be the old, lean me.
just remember what the little red caboose said...and do it
Hugs,
