The Workout Plan
Want to lose five pounds.
I shall start today
Now to remember,
What’d those experts say?
Eat a large breakfast.
Take some vitamins.
Stretch before work out.
If no pains, no wins.
–
Show up at the gym
An hour per day.
Get some work-out clothes,
Go shop on eBay.
Reduce calories,
Cutting out ice cream.
Must get out there now,
Lest run out of steam
–
Can’t go to the gym,
Too fat to fit in.
I’ll work out at home,
Until looking thin.
Popping vitamins.
Eating large breakfast.
Sipping my coffee.
I think, ‘Fit At Last!’.
–
Starting on stretches,
Reaching toward toes.
My warm up is done.
Should start I suppose.
Tired, drained, kaput,
But such a good start.
To keep up routine,
Do not have the heart.
–
Need a support group,
Somebody to cheer,
To keep me focused,
Help me get in gear.
None I know willing,
I’m left on my own.
Before got started,
Undertaking blown.
–
Never quit quitting,
Some day will be thin.
Need new strategy,
A tactic to win.
Ice cream, two big scoops,
Will fight feelings blue.
Tomorrow shall start
Endeavors anew.

This would be humorous if it wasn’t so true. For me anyway. I do not feel like I fit into the gym crowd when I am most in need of the facility. Working out on my own, well. . . it just doesn’t seem to work. I will not push myself.
So… I drown my sorrows in a bowl of ice cream and think about how I can over come the obstacles. I will try again, with a new plan, tomorrow.
Believe it or not, this post was inspired by a very good article on SociallyFitBlog called the Worst Workout Plan Ever. The message on this blog was great. My mind, however, travels down it’s own path when creating poetry.
