Boxing Match

Thanksgiving just passed, and more of the holiday season is descending on us all. Getting caught up in the festivities, paired with the likelihood of running short on time during the day, could be very detrimental to a healthy diet. In an effort to combat those large portion sizes common with the holidays, I like to think of each meal as a boxing match... me versus mile-high-piled-plate-of-goodies:

Tonight's special event features two great fighters. In the red corner, the former heavyweight champion, the Master of Disaster, the one and only... Oversized Meal! In the blue corner, coming from the great fighting city of Phoenix, the Dancing Destroyer... Body Smart Gal!

We are about to begin. The two fighters come to the center of the ring. They get their hands up. Ladies and Gentlemen, it's show time!

Here we go. Oversized Meal and Body Smart Gal begin circling the ring. Oh! A left jab from Oversized Meal starts off the match. Body Smart Gal responds by throwing a strong right punch at Oversized Meal. Meal staggers back. Body Smart Gal delivers another blow right to the jaw! And another one to the left of the head! It's absolute pandemonium! Oversized Meal steps back... seems to be throwing in the towel... Can it be? Is Oversized Meal done for? It's true! Oversized Meal sinks to the mat. Body Smart Gal wins!! Paramedics enter the ring. What is left of Oversized Meal gets carried out of the ring in a to-go box.
