Diets Are A Mystery

I’ve been on a diet for two weeks and all I’ve lost is fourteen days. – Totie Fields

Whatever I do

Can’t seem to lose weight.

Not true

but it is so fuckin’ hard

and takes so much fuckin’ work

and I am only so strong.

Take yesterday for example,

please.

Started with one percent milk over

organic granola enhanced with

chia seeds.

Liter of filtered water.

Six-mile run.

Lunch on cottage cheese,

large-curd and fruit cocktail in water.

Organic walnut pieces.

Liter of filtered water.

Thirty-three minutes on the

spinbike.

Reminded I have no ass.

Why 33 minutes?

Girlfriend maybe 25 years ago

a real witch

nice, smart, pretty lady told me.

six is my lucky number.

More water and a

beer.

Maybe another beer.

Really, who counts?

Dinner might be fish and a not-

so-simple salad.

My wife is like some

ninja salad master.

Of course, the crumbly blue cheese

dressing don’t hurt none.

Great with a beer.

As is true with the latest episode of

Justified.  I am so

Raylan.  Wife’s favorite show is

The Walking Dead.

That’s too cute.

I’ll be honest.

Might be somewhat biased.

Her favorite show

used to be

Snapped!

About wives who kill their husbands.

“Making plans?,” I once asked her.

“You’ll never see

it coming,” she replied.

And I believe her.

But I digress.

Diets are a mystery.

Grab another beer,

have to think the culprit

is that creamy dressing.
