FOUL

Well, let’s see,

For two months now

DeRay and I have cut out

1. All dairy.
2. All grains.
3. All sugar.

My long-cherished favorite foods.

Impressive.

Ah – the will-power;

The determination.

Yes!  The sacrifice.

The emptiness.

No kidding.

I resisted Amy’s delicious-looking

Peanut butter cookies

With a big chocolate kiss on top;

The sugar cookies the neighbor children

Brought to Eddy;

Even the Christmas See’s candy

From our hometeacher.

This is getting personal.

Exercising faithfully.

Plus we are taking $5000 each

Vitamins and supplements.

Seriously.

Nonetheless,

The trend is moving in the wrong direction.

Evoking this,

Upon awakening, I muse:

“I wonder how much
my blood sugar has gone up;
and how much weight I’ve gained today.”
