Song of the day 
Fearless Love
by Melissa Etheridge
When I woke up I was 17 
You kissed my lips in a bad bad dream 
Showed me things aren't what they appear to be 
Called me angel and set me free 
You gave me life in the cold cold dark 
But you ran away in the mornings spark 
Made me think that reality 
Is not where I want to be 

I am what I am and 
I am what I am afraid of 
Oh what am I afraid of 
I need a fearless love 
Don't need to fear the end 
If you can't hold me now 
You will never hold me again 
I want to live my life 
Pursuing all my happiness 
I want a fearless love 
I won't settle for anything less 
I've walked my path had worlds collide 
I lost my way and I fooled my pride 
This lover's ache wouldn't feel so strange 
If I could only change 

But I am what I am and 
I am what I am afraid of 
So what am I afraid of 
I need a fearless love 
Don't need to fear the end 
If you can't hold me now 
You will never hold me again 
I want to live my life 
Pursuing all my happiness 
I want a fearless love 
I won't settle for anything less 

Now I'm not here to lay the blame 
I understand when you hold a flame 
Heads will shake heads will turn 
And sometimes you just get burned

Song of the day 
Golden Lady
by: Stevie Wonder
Looking in your eyes
Kind of heaven eyes
Closing both my eyes
Waiting for surprise
To see the heaven in your eyes is not so far
Cause I'm not afraid to try and go it
To know the love and the beauty never known before
I'll leave it up to you to show it

And golden lady, golden lady
I'd like to go there
Golden lady, golden lady
I'd like to go there
Take me right away

Looking at your hands
Hands can understand
Waiting for the chance
Just to hold your hand
A touch of rain and sunshine made the flower grow
Into a lovely smile that's blooming
And it's so clear to me that you're a dream come true
There's no way that I'll be losing

And golden lady, golden lady
I'd like to go there
Golden lady, golden lady
I'd like to go there
Take me right away

A touch of rain and sunshine made the flower grow
Into a lovely smile that's blooming
And it's so clear to me that you're my dream come true
There is no way that I'll be losing

Golden lady, golden lady
I'd like to go there
Golden lady, golden lady
I'd like to go there
[REPEAT and FADE]

Day 37 Oh how I hate doing planks!!

Oh how I hate doing planks! 
With that said I know they have to be done but do they have to be so hard?!
Please give me strength to do more of them and hold them longer...

Now on this losing weight thing 
It's going so slow...UGH!!  But my doctor keeps telling me it's the best way to do it. I know it is but really?! 
It take all of a minute to put the weight on but it takes an eternity to take it off!
UGH!!!!! 
Dear Lord, Give me patience...
And give it to me NOW!...
Having patience is not one of my strengths...LOL

Song of the day
Boogie Wonderland
by Earth Wind and Fire
Dance boogie wonderland
Dance boogie wonderland
Midnight creeps so slowly into hearts,
Of men who need more than they get
Daylight deals a bad hand,
To a woman that has laid to many bets

The mirror stares you in the face and says
Baby, uh uh it don’t work
You say your prayers through you don’t care
You dance and shake the hurt
Dance boogie wonderland
Dance boogie wonderland

Sound fly through the night
I chase my vinyl drams to boogie wonderland
I find romance when I start to dance in boogie wonderland
I find romance when I start to dance in boogie wonderland

All the love in the world can’t be gone
All the need to be loved can’t be wrong
All the records are playing
And my heart keeps saying
Boogie wonderland, wonderland
Dance boogie wonderland
Dance boogie wonderland

All the love in the world can’t be gone
All the need to be loved can’t be wrong
All the records are playing
And my heart keeps saying
Boogie wonderland, wonderland
Dance boogie wonderland
Dance boogie wonderland

Days 23 - 36 Time Flies!

So sorry I have been
for 14 days 
(time flies)
Missing in action writing
But I haven't been MIA from my mission to lose the fat!
Time to catch up
I had the boys for a week which makes it hard to sit down and write when I have to watch and play with
an 6 year old and an 8 year old.

I've been
Jumpin, Walkin, Windsor Pilatesin, Tony Hortonin,  Sit-Upin and  Arm Weightin

And the good news is that I have been
Losin weightin! 
I don't know how much at this point but....
my pants are bigger and the tape measure is movin!!
1 inch off 
my hips, waist and belly 
That's all I need to know for now!

And a big thank you goes out to my
friend Shaleah Lorraine for her tip about
Po Sum On Medicated oil
which I purchased from Amazon.com
This is some A-Mazing stuff!! 


Song of the day 
A Brand New Day
From: The Wiz 


Everybody look around
'Cause there's a reason to rejoice you see
Everybody come out
And let's commence to singing joyfully
Everybody look up
And feel the hope that we've been waiting for


Everybody's glad
Because our silent fear and dread is gone
Freedom, you see, has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about
You owe it to yourself to check it out
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?


Everybody be glad
Because the sun is shining just for us
Everybody wake up
Into the morning into happiness


Hello world
It's like a different way of living now
And thank you world
We always knew that we'd be free somehow
In harmony
And show the world that we've got liberty


It's such a change
For us to live so independently
Freedom, you see, has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about
You owe it to yourself to check it out
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?


Everybody be glad
Because the sun is shining just for us
Everybody wake up
Into the morning into happiness 
Hello world
It's like a different way of living now
And thank you world
We always knew that we'd be free somehow
In harmony
And show the world that we've got liberty


It's such a change
For us to live so independently
Freedom, you see, has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about
You owe it to yourself to check it out
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
