    More Out of Monday with Madeline

    I’m Madeline - a healthfully humorous, radically ridiculous, momentarily messy broad here to give you a flicker of joy on the (in most cases) worst day of the week.

     

    Monday is like…

    …the new, gorgeous (skinny) intern at work casually asking you , “When are you due?”  You think…maybe I should have passed on that triple cheeseburger for lunch. 

    Now, on to more important things.

    Ode to My Scales

    We’ve been though it, you and I,

    From “you stupid, broken peice of crap,” to “why should I even try.”

    You must be thinking that I’m a foolish tart,

    When, every other week, I curse your digital display…straight from my heart.

    I know that you’re just doing your job,

    But I can’t help but think that you want to leave your mistress…this blob.

    I’m sorry that I work you so hard with my ups and downs,

    Just bear with me one more week; a new grapefruit diet, I have found.

    It’s going to be different from this day on,

    Wait and see; I can do this.  That extra fat, forever will be gone!

    I truly do love you; I can’t be shy,

    When you say I’m 155 when the doctor’s scale says otherwise.

    So, I promise to cut you some slack today,

    I’ll just quietly leave the bathroom without delay.

    Enjoy your vacation without complaint,

    Because, someday I’ll be back…just you wait!

    1. LOL! I never weigh myself, I go by how the jeans fit. Weight can be misleading unless you also know you body fat % vs. lean muscle tissue. You will weigh in heavier if you have more lean muscle because it is denser than fat.
