/ lovizmytrio / 1 Comment

PREP: 8 hours and 37 minutes TEMP: 68 degrees
Ingredients
8 hours of sleep
1 treadmill
2 cups of patience
3 tissues
1 pair of sneakers
1 pound determination

1. Go to bed early and ignore the sore throat that’s trying to keep you awake.
2. Hop out of bed as soon as the alarm screams at you.
3. Use the bathroom and blow your nose three times with your tissues. Swallow two cups of patience because you’re going to need it.
4. Carry your determination to the workout room and tie your sneakers. Don’t drop the determination or you’ll never get through this!
5. Step on the treadmill and set it to 7.3. Run like hell for four miles in thirty-three minutes, always carrying your determination and keeping your breathing steady.
6. Step off the treadmill. Take a few deep breaths and smile at your clear nose, your painless throat, and your ability to overcome.

Give Me till May

You come from Latin meaning away from
and that’s exactly where I’m sending you—
away from me, from my scale, from the fears for my future
take my backside with you and
don’t let the door hit you on the way out
because I will beat you
work you
crunch the tar out of you
until you’ve vanished
and left only
the smoothness of muscled skin,
the absence of all my baby fat,
and the delicious satisfaction
I will taste with my hungry eyes
every time I look down at my belly.
