Ode to my Hiney

I originally wrote this on June 19, 2006. In celebration of my renewed fitness focus, I'm revisiting the ode:

ODE TO MY HINEY
By: Hannah (Bone) Holmes

Hiney, my dear,
The time's drawn near
For me to say,
"Get outta HERE!"

You've had your chance
You're a vast expanse
You no longer fit
In my favorite pants!

So, I say farewell,
Your ship has sailed,
What? NO, I don't want
To eat Taco Bell!

Try as you might
To stay and fight.
You'll soon be tiny
And fit and tight!

I'm working-out!
Now, don't you pout.
Your time has expired -
About that there's no doubt!

So, I'm off to exercise,
Soon you will decrease in size.
So, I bid these last good-byes
To my buns and hips and thighs.

The Biggest Loser

I joined Gold's Gym about six weeks ago and joined a "Biggest Loser" competition at the gym, in an effort to motivate myself to get into shape!! This Saturday will be my midway weight check. Then, I will have 6 more weeks of the program. I don't imagine that I'll win, necessarily, but it has served its purpose.....which was to get me off my BEhind and INTO the gym! So far, I'm noticing some great results. I've been running several days/week and going to BodyPump classes. The scales aren't really going down, but my clothes are DEFINITELY getting looser!

I've lost about 52-54 lbs since I had Jonah last September. Ideally, I'd like to lose at least 30 more lbs. We shall see......

This will primarily be my venue for logging my progress toward my fitness goals.

Hijinks

Hijinks definition: noisy and mischievous merrymaking

sounds like a good Blog title to me :)
