Weighing Me Down - Literally!

Where do I begin?
Seems a daunting task
The New Year is hear again
Do you really have to ask?
I am on a mission to rid this extra weight
Protein and veggies are all that cover my plate

I exercise with a smile
I just love to sweat
I walk at least three miles
But still not enough pounds lost yet
I shouldn't have made cookies for desert
I should have realized how seconds would hurt

I'm not self loathing
That's the crazy part
I'm happy where my life is going
Just wish I had less to cart
My knees are aching and I crave more energy
More energy so I can find a better me

I forge ahead
Goal on my mind
When I get out of bed
I just take a look at my behind
That's all the motivation I need
The only thing I've ever grown without a seed

This year is for reaching goals
Anything is possible
The plan just can't have any holes
And the pantry cannot be full
I want to feel comfortable inside and out
So I can't finally shine a light on what I'm all about
