Here is a cute poem I received at work...I thought you all would love it!
Weight Before Fitness
‘Twas the weight before fitness, and up on the scale
I saw numbers a-stirring, and I turned quite pale.
My “thin jeans” were folded in the dresser with care.
In hopes that someday soon I would fit in a pair;
So decked in my sweatpants I took to my bed,
While weight loss resolutions danced in my head.
When I woke in the morning my ideas they came,
And I thought them all through, and I wrote them by name:
“Choose fruits! Choose veggies! Eat portion sizes!
Start walking! Get moving! Try new exercises!
I could see to the future-and, wow, I look great!
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away weight!
And then I keep going, for weeks I did work
At eating well and exercising for the health perks.
My eyes-how they twinkled! My waist is so lean!
After doing this program, you’ll see what I mean.
Now get ready and set to begin your new quest
For a trim, healthy body and a spirit of zest.
And here’s my last wish, as my little poem writes,
“Health and fitness to you, and to you a great life.”
