My my, at Waterloo Napoleon did surrender
Oh yeah, and I have met my destiny in quite a similar way

The history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itself

Waterloo
I was defeated, you won the war

Promise to love you forever more

Waterloo
Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo
Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo
Finally facing my Waterloo

My my, I tried to hold you back but you were stronger
Oh yeah, and now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight

And how could I ever refuse?
I feel like I win when I lose

Waterloo
I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo
Promise you'll love me forever more

Waterloo
Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo
Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo
Finally facing my Waterloo

So how could I ever refuse?
I feel like I win when I lose

Waterloo
Couldn't escape if I wanted to

Knowing my fate is to be with you

Finally facing my Waterloo

Knowing my fate is to be with you

Wishin And Hopin By Dusty Springfield

Wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin'
Plannin' and dreaming each night of his charms
That won't get you into his arms

So if you're lookin' to find love you can share
All you gotta do is
Hold him and kiss him and love him
And show him that you care

Show him that you care just for him
And do the things he likes to do
Wear your hair just for him, 'cause
You won't get him
Thinkin' and a-prayin'
Wishin' and a-hopin'

Just wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin'
Plannin' and dreamin' his kiss is the start
That won't get you into his heart

So if you're thinkin' heartbreak
True love is
All you gotta do is
Hold him and kiss him and squeeze him and love him
Yeah, just do it and after you do, you will be his

(You gotta)
Show him that you care just for him
Do the things he likes to do
Wear your hair just for him, 'cause
You won't get him
Thinkin' and a-prayin'
Wishin' and a-hopin'

Just wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin'
Plannin' and dreamin' his kiss is the start
That won't get you into his heart

So if you're thinkin' heartbreak
True love is
All you gotta do is
Hold him and kiss him and squeeze him and love him
Yeah, just do it and after you do, you will be his
You will be his
You will be his

Day 42 Jump

I walked a different route yesterday that had a lot of ups and downs. So I was really working the backs of my legs and my thighs. Sore, sore, sore! I guess that's the key work different parts of my body everyday.

My attitude still hasn't changed. I still hate exercising but I have to do it.

Jump by the Pointer Sisters

Your eyes tell me how you want me
I can feel it in your heart beat
I know you like what you see
Hold me, I'll give you all that you need
Wrap your love around me
You're so excited, I can feel you
Getting hotter, oh baby
I'll take you down, I'll take you down
Where no one's ever gone before
And if you want more, if you want more
More, more, more

Jump for my love
Jump in and feel my touch
Jump if you want to taste my kisses
In the night then

Jump, jump for my love
Jump, I know my heart can make you happy
Jump in, you know these arms
Can feel you up
Jump, if you want to taste my kisses
In the night then
Jump, jump for my love

You told me, I'm the only woman for you
Nobody does you like I do
Then make a move before you try and
Go much farther, oh baby
You are the one, you are the one
And heaven waits here at my door
And if you want more,
If you want more, more, more then

Jump for my love
Jump in and feel my touch
Jump if you want to taste my kisses
In the night then

Jump, jump for my love
Jump, I know my heart can make you happy
Jump in, you know these arms
Can feel you up
Jump, if you want to taste my kisses
In the night then
Jump, jump for my love

When you are next to me, oh I come alive
Your love burns inside
Feels so right
Come to me if you want me tonight jump
Jump if you want to taste my kisses
In the night then
Jump, jump, jump
Jump, you know my heart can
Make you happy
Jump, you know these arms can feel you up
Jump in, you want to taste my kisses
In the night then
Jump, jump for my love

Day 41 Ain't That Peculiar

Still sore but that's not stopping me. Walked last night hoping the soreness would be better today no such luck. I feel good...............good and sore that is.
I cheated last night. Yes I did!    I had an iced tea with equal.
I've been staying away from the artificial sweeteners they are not good for my diet nor are they good for the body. But I have to admit that it was soooooooooooooo good! I was like a crack addict I couldn't get enough.  But I think I'll be alright  LOL

Ain't That Peculiar By Marvin Gaye

Honey you do me wrong but still i'm crazy about you
Stay away too long and i can't do without you
Every chance you get you seem to hurt me more and more
But each hurt makes my love stronger than before
I know flowers go through rain
But how can love go through pain
Ain't that peculiar
A peculiar ality
Ain't that peculiar baby
Peculiar as can be
You tell me lies that should be obvious to me
I've been so much in love with you baby til i don't wanna see
That things you do and say are designed to make me blue
It's a dog gone shame my love for you makes all
Your lies seem true
But if the truth makes love last longer
Why do lies make my love stronger
Ain't that peculiar
A peculiar ality
Ain't that peculiar baby
Peculiar as can be
I cried so much just like a child thats lost its home
Maybe baby you think these tears i cry are tears of joy
A child can cry so much until you do everything they say
But unlike a child my tears don't help me to get my way
I know love can last through years
But how can love last through tears
(repeat chorus)

Working your back like it's going out of style
Shake just a little bit faster
Shake just a little now girl
Dying to meet you, so let's mess around
I've got an obsession of us getting down
Come just a little bit closer
I just need permission so just...

Give me the greenlight
Give me just one night
I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now
We can go all night
Give me the greenlight
I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now

I want your green greenlight
But if it's what it seems like
Then we can get it moving baby
Cause we know it's gonna be right

I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now

Day 39 Never Give You Up

All that block party prep, breakdown and dancing in the street.  But it was so much fun the soreness is so worth it. 
On this 39th day I feel good about how I feel and how my progress is going. I'm working out and eating well. I pray everyday that I have the will and the strength to keep going.

Today's Theme Song 
Never Give You Up by Raphael Saadiq featuring Stevie Wonder

She so sexy, the way she talks, the way she walks
It really drives me crazy, I think I like you girl
Enjoys the moment, and takes her time, and does it right
Cause she not just the average, I really like you girl

And something about her lips, the way she kiss
The way she walks them heads go
I see her like I should, Oh then she’ll look, and it’s so sweet
It knocks me right up off my feet, now baby, I see her like I should

Chorus

Oh, Girl I’ll never give you up
Cause ain’t no other good enough
And nothing can compare to you
I waited all my life to be with you

Oh, here I stand and when I fall
Only you’ll come back for more
Greatest love you’ll ever see
And girl your love is good for me

Girl you, got me, thinking, bout you, everyday

Men can’t believe her now,
I wanna say, her touch, her smile, keeps me, livin right
I gotta say, she’s the best for me
(I guess I tried and tried), to hide the way I feel
I can’t explain it, can’t explain it
It’s just too damn good
So I can tell the world, you got my heart
I love your mind design

Chorus

Oh, Girl I’ll never give you up
Cause ain’t no other good enough
And nothing can compare to you
I waited all my life to be with you

Oh, here I stand and when I fall
Only you expect for more
Everything she does is sweet
She knocks me off my feet, Oh Girl

“I’d like to invite Mr. Steve Wonder, to my album
Come on Stevie” (Harmonica Solo)

Chorus (Repeat)

Oh, Girl I’ll never give you up
Cause ain’t no other good enough
And nothing can compare to you
I waited all my life to be with you

Oh, here I stand and when I fall
Only you expect for more
Your love is so unique
It knocks me off my feet

Your love is so damn divine
You’re always on my mind

Day 38 Dancing In The Streets #2

There was literally dancing in the streets! 
We all helped clean up after the block party tables and chairs put into a pile and then the line dancing music came on and people started to dance in the middle of the street people came out of there houses and were dancing on their porches it was like something you would see in the movies. It was great! Black, white, yellow, young and old were pouring sweat and having a blast and it was a great workout.

We did them all The Stomp/Cha Cha Slide, Cupid Shuffle, Casper Slide and a few more that I didn't know what they were called but I picked up on it pretty easily. The key for me was to just keep it movin!
The more I move and sweat the more pounds melt off my body!

Day 38 Dancing In The Streets

Crazy today we are having a block party on my street literally right in front of the house so I was detoured from my walk with setting up moving tables lifting boxes etc.... That was quite a workout in it self.

Are you ready for a brand new beat
Summer's here and the time is right
For dancing in the street
They're dancing in Chicago
Down in New Orleans
Up in New York City
All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be swinging swaying records playing
Dancing in the street

Oh it doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So come on ev'ry guy grab a girl
Ev'rywhere around the world
They'll be dancing
They're dancing in the street

It's just an invitation across the nation
A chance for folks to meet
There'll be laughing, singing, music swinging
Dancing in the street
Philadelphia, PA
Baltimore and D.C. now
Can't forget the Motor City
All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be swinging, swaying, records playing
Dancing in the street

Oh it doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So come on ev'ry guy grab a girl
Ev'rywhere around the world

Dancing
They're dancing in the street
Way down in L.A.
Every day

Day 37 Everything

Last night my nephew who is 7 going on 45 looked at me and said Auntie your losing weight! Really? I mean I know I am but when someone notices even if it's a 7 year old made me feel really good. All of my hard work is well, working.
Yay Me!
My friend Amy called me as I was walking out the door so I took her along on my walk I was amazed that I could walk and talk at the same time and at a fast pace to boot. She also did my crunches with me and I did even more then I have been. I am going to start using this practice each and everyday so you'll never know who'll I'll be taking with me next.

Everything By Michael Buble


You're a falling star, you're the get away car.
You're the line in the sand when I go too far.
You're the swimming pool, on an August day.
And you're the perfect thing to say.

And you play it coy but it's kinda cute.
Ah, when you smile at me you know exactly what you do.
Baby don't pretend that you don't know it's true.
'cause you can see it when I look at you.
[Chorus:]
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, you make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.

You're a carousel, you're a wishing well,
And you light me up, when you ring my bell.
You're a mystery, you're from outer space,
You're every minute of my everyday.

And I can't believe, uh that I'm your man,
And I get to kiss you baby just because I can.
Whatever comes our way, ah we'll see it through,
And you know that's what our love can do.
[Chorus]

So, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
So, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
[Chorus:]
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, you make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.
You're every song, and I sing along.
'Cause you're my everything.
Yeah, yeah

So, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
So, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

For Once In My Life By Stevie Wonder

For once in my life I have someone who needs me
Someone I've needed so long
For once, unafraid, I can go where life leads me
And somehow I know I'll be strong

For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Someone warm like you
Would make my dreams come true

For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before
For once, I have something I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore

For once, I can say, this is mine, you can't take it
As long as I know I have love, I can make it
For once in my life, I have someone who needs me

Day 34 Butterfly

Not in as much pain as I was yesterday Thank God! I got up early 7:10am thank you very much because I had some thinking to do and it was on my mind.
While I was jiggling my way through the neighborhood a man came out of his house and said good morning, walking is the best exercise isn't it? You know I've seen you many mornings and I just had to come out and tell you to keep it up. I was 100lbs heavier a year ago and I know how hard it is.
I was blown away with hearing that from a complete stranger.


Today I had an opportunity to audition for a fat woman in a major film and said no, no, no! There is a thinner me inside of this fat woman and I don't want to be on film forever as the fat black woman.
(been there done that remember Malcolm X )
As I tried to explain this fact to my Agent/Manager and much to my dismay I had an emotional meltdown.  I didn't know that I was that emotional about it until today and it made me really realized that I am serious and how important it is to me not to be the fat black woman anymore. Now don't get me wrong I will never be skinny because I love being curvaceous and having jiggly parts.
I have to say that it was hard to have that talk/meltdown with him but it was a good thing because now Rob (my Agent/Manager) understands who I am as Cynthia and where I am as an actor.

Today's Theme Song 
Butterfly by Jason Mraz

I'm taking a moment just imaginin' that I'm dancin' with you
I'm your pole and all you're wearing is your shoes
You got soul, you know what to do to turn me on until I write a song about you
And you have your own engaging style
And you've got the knack to vivify
And you make my slacks a little tight, you may unfasten them if you like
That's if you crash and spend the night

But you don't fold, you don't fade
You've got everything you need, especially me
Sister you've got it all
You make the call to make my day
In your message say my name
Your talk is all the talk, sister you've got it all

Curl your upper lip up and let me look around
Ride your tongue along your bottom lip and bite down
And bend your back and ask those hips if I can touch
Because they're the perfect jumping off point of getting closer to your

Butterfly
Well you float on by
Oh kiss me with your eyelashes tonight
Or Eskimo your nose real close to mine
And let's mood the lights and finally make it right
But you don't fold, you don't fade, you've got everything you need
Especially me
Sister you've got it all

You make the call to make my day
In your message say my name
Your talk is all the talk sister you've got it all
You've got it all, you've got it all, you've got it all [2x]

You've got it all, you've got it all

Doll I need to see you pull your knee socks up
Let me feel you upside down, slide in, slide out, slide over here
Climb into my mouth now child

Butterfly, well you landed on my mind
Dammit you landed on my ear and then you crawled inside
And now I see you perfectly behind closed eyes
I wanna fly with you and I don't wanna lie to you
Cause I, cause I can't recall a better day
Sun coming to shine on the occasion

You're an open-minded lady
You've got it all
And I never forget a face
Except for maybe my own,
I have my days
But let's face the fact here, it's you who's got it all

You know that fortune favors the brave
Well let me get paid while I make you breakfast
The rest is up to you, you make the call

You make the call to make my day
In your message say my name
Your talk is all the talk, sister you've got it all

I can't recall a better day
Sun comin' to shine on the occasion
You're a sophisticated lady, oh

You've got it all, you've got it all, you've got it all [3x]
You've got it all, you've got it all.

You've got it all
You've got it all
You gotta gotta gotta got it all

Butterfly, baby, well you've got it all

Day 33 OMG!

OMG!!
 I am in so much pain today! 

My upper back, shoulders and arms are killing me.
I didn't go to bed until after 3am and then I didn't sleep well at all. Just in pain trying to sleep. Tossed and turned from side to side no luck uncomfortable and painfully Then trying my back for a while back to one side then the other I tryed  my stomach...... LOL  no way my breast makes that impossible looked at the clock its now 7:25am I'm up I was done trying to sleep nothing was working. I got up and rubbed Arnica gel on my back and shoulders. (I thinks might have over did my workout on the Ab Doer the last few days) But I didn't let it stop me?
Hell to the NO!!
I got up slowly and got dressed and got out. Started out slowly but soon I picked up the pace. I must thank my Arnica gel for helping me today. Thank you Arnica!

Today's Theme Song 
As by Stevie Wonder

As around the sun the earth knows she's revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early may
Just as hate knows love's the cure
You can rest your mind assure
That I'll be loving you always

As now can't reveal the mystery of tomorrow
But in passing will grow older every day
Just as all that's born is new
You know what I say is true
That I'll be loving you always

(Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky)
Always
(Until the ocean covers every mountain high)
Always
(Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea)
Always
(Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream)

Did you know that true love asks for nothing
No no her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee
To last through forever and another day

Just as time knew to move on since the beginning
And the seasons know exactly when to change
Just as kindness knows no shame
Know through all your joy and pain
That I'll be loving you always

As today I know I'm living
But tomorrow could make me the past
But that I mustn't fear
For I'll know deep in my mind
The love of me I've left behind
'Cause I'll be loving you always

(Until the day is night and night becomes the day)
Always
(Until the trees and seas just up and fly away)
Always
(Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four)
Always
(Until the day that is the day that are no more)
Did you know you're loved by somebody
(Until the day the earth starts turnin' right to left)
Always
(Until the earth just for the sun denies itself)
I'll be lovin you forever
(Until dear mother nature says her work is through)
Always
(Until the day that you are me and I am you)
Always
(Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
Until the ocean severs every mountain high)
Always mm mm

We all know sometimes life hates and troubles
Can make you wish you were born in another time and space
But you can bet your lifetimes that and twice it's double
That God knew exactly where he wanted you to be placed
So make sure when you say you're in it, but not of it
You're not helpin' to make this earth
A place sometimes called hell
Change your words into truths
And then change that truth into love
And maybe our children's grandchildren
And their great grandchildren will tell
I'll be loving you until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky

Day 32 Think


Good Morning
Rainy overcast day but did I let it stop me from my task?....... Hell No!
I got up and got dressed and went out in the rain and jiggled my way around the neighborhood. Kids out on porches waiting for their buses, yellow buses everywhere.

Feeling pretty good today. Just a little sore but now after doing the side crunches I'll be sore again. What is that they say No Pain No Gain. Who said that? I can find that person and slap them. Just saying

You better think (think) think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

Let's go back, let's go back, let's go way on back when
I didn't even know you, you came to me and too much you wouldn't take
I ain't no psychiatrist, I ain't no doctor with degree
It don't take too much high IQ's to see what you're doing to me

You better think (think) think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

Oh freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, yeah freedom
Freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, ooh freedom

There ain't nothing you could ask I could answer you but I won't (I won't)
I was gonna change, but I'm not, to keep doing things I don't

You better think (think) think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

People walking around everyday, playing games that they can score
And I ain't gonna be the loser my way, ah, be careful you don't lose yours

You better think (think) think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

You need me (need me) and I need you (don't you know)
Without eachother there ain't nothing people can do

Oh freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, yeah freedom
Freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, ooh freedom

There ain't nothing you could ask I could answer you but I won't (I won't)
I was gonna change, but I'm not, if you're doing things I don't

You better think (think) think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

You need me (need me) and I need you (don't you know)
Without each other there ain't nothing people can do

(To the bone for deepness, to the bone for deepness, to the bone for deepness, think about it)

(To the bone for deepness, to the bone for deepness, to the bone for deepness, think about it)

(To the bone for deepness, to the bone for deepness, to the bone for deepness, think about it)

(To the bone for deepness, to the bone for deepness, to the bone for deepness, think about it) 

You had better stop and think before you think,

Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

Oh freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, yeah freedom
Freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, ooh freedom

There ain't nothing you could ask I could answer you but I won't (I won't)
I was gonna change, but I'm not, to keep doing things I don't

You better think (think) think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

People walking around everyday, playing games that they can score
And I ain't gonna be the loser my way, ah, be careful you don't lose yours

You better think (think) think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

You need me (need me) and I need you (don't you know)
Without eachother there ain't nothing people can do

Oh freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, yeah freedom
Freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, ooh freedom

There ain't nothing you could ask I could answer you but I won't (I won't)
I was gonna change, but I'm not, if you're doing things I don't

You better think (think) think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

You need me (need me) and I need you (don't you know)
Without each other there ain't nothing people can do

(To the bone for deepness, to the bone for deepness, to the bone for deepness, think about it)

(To the bone for deepness, to the bone for deepness, to the bone for deepness, think about it)

(To the bone for deepness, to the bone for deepness, to the bone for deepness, think about it)

(To the bone for deepness, to the bone for deepness, to the bone for deepness, think about it) 

You had better stop and think before you think,
think!! 

Day 31 There Is Always Something There To Remind Me

Good afternoon  
I got up got my sore old body dressed and got out into this overcast and cool day. 
While walking and jiggling my way through the neighborhood I noticed 
how quite it is so I turned my iphone off and just listened. The wind was blowing softly, the leafs where swinging in the trees sounds of a few cars going by and there was just a few people out walking their dogs. quite
It was so peaceful just like a Sunday morning should be. 
AAH! 
(please use your sing voice)

I am literally working my ass off for...............ME!
Walked 30mins
Windsor Pilates 20mins
Crunches 125



There Is Always Something There To Remind Me
By Dionne Warwick

I walk along the city streets you used to walk along with me,
And every step I take recalls how much in love we used to be.
Oh, how can I forget you?
When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love you, and I will never be free
You'll always be a part of me, whoa oh whoa

When shadows fall, I passed a small cafe where we would dance at night
And I can't help recalling how it felt to kiss and hold you tight
Oh, how can I forget you?
When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love you, and I will never be free
You'll always be a part of me, whoa oh whoa, whoa oh whoa
When there is always something there to remind me
there is always something there to remind me
Fade out

Day 30 Walking On Sunshine

Tomorrow's Theme Song 
There Is Always Something There To Remind By Dionne Warwick

I walk along the city streets you used to walk along with me,
And every step I take recalls how much in love we used to be.
Oh, how can I forget you?
When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love you, and I will never be free
You'll always be a part of me, whoa oh whoa

When shadows fall, I passed a small cafe where we would dance at night
And I can't help recalling how it felt to kiss and hold you tight
Oh, how can I forget you?
When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love you, and I will never be free
You'll always be a part of me, whoa oh whoa, whoa oh whoa

If you should find you miss the sweet and tender love we used to share
Just come back to the places where we used to go, and I'll be there
Oh, how can I forget you?
When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love you, and I will never be free
You'll always be a part of me, whoa oh whoa

Never love another baby
I'll never will forget you baby
Oh you'll always be a part of me
Whoa, yes-sir baby

Never never never baby


Day 30 Walking On Sunshine

Drum Roll Please!!

I have lost 20lbs in 30 days 
Whoo Hoo!! 

Early start this morning. I felt that I had to get up and out in the sun on this day of remembrance. I will use this day to reflect on what was lost but I will also use this day to appreciate my fat life and the people I love. 
 I will never forget where I was nor what I was doing on

Completely automatic
All of my systems are down

Day 28 Aint Leaving Without You

Good afternoon
Last night walked on the beach with my nephews and fed the seagulls and 125 crunches.

Today
10mins Jiggling my jiggly parts
20min Winsor
125 crunches
Up and down the stairs too many times to count
Tried and hope to go to bed before 2am to get an early start in the morning.

Today's Theme song 
Ain't Leaving Without You By Jaheim
Tomorrow's Theme Song 
Automatic by The Pointer Sisters
Look what you're doing to me
I'm utterly at your whim
All of my defenses down
Your camera looks through me
With its X-ray vision
And all systems run aground
All I can manage to push from my lips
Is a stream of absurdities
Every word I intended to speak
Wind up locked in the circuitry

Chorus:
No way to control it
It's totally automatic
Whenever you're around
I'm walking blindfolded
Completely automatic
All of my systems are down
Down down down
Automatic
Automatic

What is this madness
That makes my motor run
And my legs too weak to stand
I go from sadness
To exhilaration
Like a robot at your command
My hands perspire and shake like a leaf
Up and down goes my temperature
I summon doctors to get some relief
But they tell me there is no cure
They tell me


Chorus
