Diet Starts Monday
Look… I had a plan. A very good plan. …It's Thursday. The plan starts Monday. It always starts Monday. Woke up feeling righteous, had my water and my oats Googled clean eating recipes, saved about forty posts Told myself today's the day, no sugar, no bread Then somebody brought donuts and… well, you know how that went Ate one. Then two. Then three — it was free Somebody made them homemade bro, who am I to disagree? Checked my fitness app, logged zero — closed it fast Today was a trial run, the real thing starts Monday at last Lunch came around, I ordered the salad — I swear But the burger looked so lonely sitting right there Just this once, I said, just this once and no more Then they asked about dessert and I said what's on the floor Oh oh oh — diet starts Monday Tonight we celebrate, pass the bread my way Oh oh oh — diet starts Monday Sunday night I'll meal prep — okay maybe not okay Oh oh oh — it's only Thursday Four more days of living like there's no tomorrow, hey Diet starts Monday — wooooh And Monday is still very far away Saturday rolled around, someone's having a party Can't count calories at a party, that'd be heartless, hardly The polite thing to do is eat what they offer I'm a guest, not a monk, I'll restart Monday, I'm softer Sunday morning, fresh start energy is high Opened up the fridge and let me tell you, oh my Leftovers from the party still looking real good Waste not want not — that's a value, understood Meal prepped in my head — very detailed, very clean Chicken, rice and broccoli, leanest you've ever seen Mentally prepped it while eating cereal straight from the box The intention was there bro, that's what really counts, that rocks Oh oh oh — diet starts Monday Tonight we celebrate, pass the bread my way Oh oh oh — diet starts Monday Sunday night I'll meal prep — okay maybe not okay Oh oh oh — it's only Thursday Four more days of living like there's no tomorrow, hey Diet starts Monday — wooooh And Monday is still very far away …You know what, I've been doing this for a while And I've noticed something important Every Monday I start fresh Every Tuesday I'm doing great Every Wednesday I'm doing okay Every Thursday… someone brings donuts. It's always Thursday. … I think Thursday is the problem. Not me. Thursday. Monday arrived, I woke up feeling brand new Lemon water, no sugar, the whole breakfast debut Made it to noon — a personal record, no lie Then somebody said "let's do lunch" and I said why not, I'm alive Ordered grilled chicken — then added the fries Because protein needs carbs, that's just science, alright? Got home feeling balanced, feeling healthy, feeling blessed Checked the scale — don't look at the scale, forget the rest Tuesday's the new Monday, I've decided today Fresh start energy, new week mentality, okay? Or maybe next Monday, the first of the month A round number start date just hits different, I've found Oh oh oh — diet starts Monday Oh oh oh — or the first of the month Oh oh oh — or after the holidays Oh oh oh — or when life calms down enough Diet starts Monday — wooooh …I'm getting tacos. …It's Thursday. …It's always Thursday.
