True Story!
I’ve decided to be healthy
so I’ve gone and joined the gym.
I have been there twice already,
working hard on getting thin.
I’ve invested in a sport’s bra
and a Zumba DVD
so I reckon by September
you’ll all see a brand new me!
I have polished all my crystals
to promote my calmer state.
I have started doing yoga
and begun to meditate.
I’m aligning all my chakras
and I’ve smudged to Kingdom come;
I’ve refused all conversations
where my Zen might come undone.
Every New Year is a clean slate
and a chance to fix the past,
though the odds are stacked against us -
resolutions rarely last -
We’ll intend to make the changes
even for the shortest time,
then it’s back to stress and back to fags
and back to drinking wine!

My husband even bought me an agate carnelian egg for Christmas -- a symbol of new beginnings 
or a tell-tale sign that he's noticed my stress levels under the baggy black jumpers 
Been to the nurse who took my blood pressure and expects me back in March with pounds off! Didn't join a gym but my knees are too dodgy for that these days and at 64 I'd just knack myself but as soon as my bathing suit fits....
