Diet starts Monday

rubers76

Time to change myself once more
It's my mantra every Sunday
Be good with food and have less wine
This always starts on Monday

Commence with gentle exercise
And eat a smaller ration
By Tuesday this is going well
I'm full of strength and passion

It's Wednesday I am feeling weak
I want to drink some claret
I tell myself to carry on
So instead I eat a carrot

I put myself to bed that night
Hoping not to suffer
Tomorrow is another day
Of course I'll be much tougher

By Thursday I am back on track
I'm feeling rather dandy
I force myself to eat less snacks
And have a little brandy

By Friday it is getting tough
I'm feeling so much weaker
I pour a glass of cold crisp wine
And then fill another beaker

Come Saturday I am off the plan
I've gelled into my sofa
I fill my face with tasty treats
And turn in to a loafer

The sabbath day I carry on
I may as well keep eating
Hereafter I will start again
And do it without cheating

    Rubers, your excellent poem described my week perfectly!

    Great write. I have a similar plan I will start exercising and dieting tomorrow.

    I know this so well. A meal without wine is like a day without sunshine and yet for six weeks now I've managed to give it up - also I exercise on a daily routine (although I have been doing that for 10 years now) and have cut down on the carbs quite drastically and eating smaller meals. Chocolate is out and just a couple of bedtime biscuit treats. The Outcome? I have lost 6lbs in the 6 weeks since I started but it aint easy. Today my daughter and family are coming over for lunch and already there is a bottle of wine on the table in readiness... Oh what the heck! And, yes, I do love your poem.

    Love your good humor and enjoyed your nice rhymes. I needed the smile!
