New Goals

I’m turning over a new leaf…and it’s a lettuce leaf, possibly spinach leaf…well any of the green vegetables…so I’m told.  This was not my choice but a choice forced upon me.  My new goal is to become over weight, according to the BMI chart I can add 8 inches to my height or loose 20 pounds.  I tried the stretching exercises. They didn’t work. It looks like I’m left with no other option.  The 20 pounds has to go. I have to get rid of this baby fat…I’ve got to get out of the obese classification into the over weight category.  It’s out of the question to go all the way down in to the normal weight range.  No more laying on the sofa and eating homemade pecan pie.  

Dear Lord Jesus,

Give me the strength to carry through 

With all the things I couldn't do.

For seventy years I've over indulged 

Counting calories I always fudged.

Now's the time to get it right 

To straighten up and fly right.

Don't let me show up at your gate

All fat and flabby and over weight.

Amen.
