What does success taste like to you?

If you had to describe your body what would you say?
Or better yet, what flavor do you think you would taste?
Are you tighty-frutti, or cottage cheesey?
Are you marshmallow squish or hard apple candy?
Do you like your flavor but need to be revitalized?
Maybe you're a banana waiting for the fat to be peeled from your thighs!
Or maybe you are an apple but wish you were a pear.
Whatever your desire, whatever your flavor,
Decide today to do yourself a favor!
Promise yourself that you are going to change/enhance/revitalize!
It may be a rocky road ahead but the reward will eventually be realized.

If you commit to change and commit to fight;
You can abolish the jello-jiggle and keep your abs tight!
You can become the grade-A, top choice piece of meat;
Instead of the squishy log of 70/30 ground beef.
You can change your image from couch potato to potato gun!
The best part of all is that sometimes it's fun!
Not everyday will be a Sundae with nuts;
But each day you work hard you will begin to get cut.
Your rolls will stop rolling and your skin will get tight;
You'll go from full fat fudge to fluffy and light!

So today is the day that you stop being Kentucky Fried Chicken!
Today is the day you back away from the kitchen.
No one will know if you cheat or mess up,
It's all up to you, to you and your gut!
Make a choice here and now to change your original flavor;
To something more healthy that you (and your hubby ;) will want to savor.
Choose for yourself to start living today;
Trade in your full fad "die-it" and pick the more permanent "live-it" way.
