(poem) - Exercise Push
There’s nothing like
Going on a diet
Knowing that you can’t eat food
Even if you see it.
The thought of
Not packing away the food
Is a strange one
Putting people in a sour mood
But the fact is
I’m not active enough
To get rid of
All my ‘fluff’
The fact of the matter is
I’m getting more and more out of shape
And upon the horizon
I can see my wedding date
My goal is to be healthy
I know I haven’t been recently
My stamina has dropped down
Quite drastically
So what am I to do
But diet and exorcize?
I know I don’t want to go up
In my current pants size
One thing about writing
It takes a toll on the body
For you remain at rest
A big softy
But the biggest thing to realize
Is I’m the man of the house
So I must be ready
To Move boxes and fend off a mouse
Luckily at this time
I can walk quite a ways
Because exercise is my friend
At least that’s what I say these days....
Which is a motto
I shall continue
Because I must
Attempt to rescue
My body and my soul
Need me more than ever
Because being unhealthy
May very well sever
My bonds to this mortal coil
And I tell you this with all earnest
I have reason to live
My life to the fullest
So healthy I shall be
For the sake of others beyond me
I will forgo being flabby
And do my best to be healthy.
Because my life
Is not my own anymore
It belongs to my wife
Because it is she that I so completely adore.

Working Out Can be Fun
For those of you who don’t know, I’ve been walking in the afternoon as part of my fitness routine. I’ve really been trying to push myself, knowing that there is a honeymoon coming up in my near future. So, I’ve been pressing myself to walk further and further, and just trying to increase my stamina and walking distance.
Fact is, writing takes a toll on the body, especially once you add in a blog to keep up with. The only way to combat the inactivity is to work out, or some form of sport. In recent years I’ve struggled with my health, not in terms of being sick, but just being strong. There’s nothing more sad than going on a shopping trip and getting winded when walking through the mall....
