Ode to weightness

Current weight : 15st 2lb
Weight difference : + 1/2 lb








Well some one didn't get the memo! I've gone the wrong way. The excuses are - I'm still not 100% after 2 nasty colds and I still have Christmas chocolate to eat. Lame, but true!

At least the dog is getting exercise, on the balance ball!!


          An Ode to Weightness

Oh how I wish I'd looked after my waist.
Ignored all the food and the fabulous taste.
Had I glanced at the mirror to see how it grew.
Noticed when asked when the baby was due.
Why on earth did I wait until now?
Did I not realise I was the size of a cow?

Oh how I wish I'd looked after my bum.
But I sat on my arse until it went numb.
I should have got up and ran to the gym
But instead I poured wine right up to the brim.
Relaxed on the sofa all snuggled and warm
It was way too late when I noticed the harm.

Oh how I wish I'd looked after my thighs.
But I just couldn't see what was infront of my eyes.
I suppose I did notice my jeans getting tight.
But needing an 18 was a hell of a fright.
How I would love boots right up to my knee
But with legs like mine they just don't zip you see.

Oh how I wish I'd looked after my face.
But with everything growing it kept the same pace.
I look in the mirror and who do I see?
Takes me a while to realise it's me!
I look like a hamster with my cheeks all a chubby.
I frighten my whole family, especially my hubby.

So things need to be different, over eating to stop.
Believe it or not I have 5 stones to drop.
So out with the trainers, and maybe my bike.
For circuits, and spinning and even a hike.
Keep reading my blog, whilst the nights are still chilly.
In Spring you will see a slimmer, better version of Gilly.

The future lies before you, like a field of fallen snow
be careful how you walk it, as every step will show.
