Preparing for Summer
When your appetite starts knocking and you crave a light repast,
even though the time since your last meal seems too vast,
tie your cravings to a stanchion and curb their niggling prompt.
Do some calisthenics or take a forest romp.
Defenestrate those Oreos. Resist that peanut brittle.
It takes a lot of will power to make yourself more little.
Dieting’s not easy. Resolution is the pits,
but it will all be worth it when your favorite swimsuit fits!!!!
Prompts for today are: knocking, vast, defenestrate, stanchion, forest and peanut brittle.

Oh those summer swimsuit days can be dreadful … or …. not.
i go with the flo now-a-days. At my age (just turned 75 last week), I don’t want anyone to look because
I’m not looking. LOL But … good advice if I was in my 20’s at which time I never needed
to cut back on food since I never gained weight. Hit menopause and your a goner.
Have a restful weekend …

I just turned 75 as well, Isadora..I’ve always needed to diet but when i look back at my 20’s and 30’s and some of my 40’s, I really looked pretty good.

Isn’t that the truth?! I suppose we’re never happy with our weight. I was 82 pounds the day I got married. I thought I needed to diet. WHAT??? Happy 75 … whenever it was. May you continue to have many, many more birthdays. 🎂

Skinny dip, I say. Who cares who looks or what they see? Be you.
