Ready set go!

These lyrics have become very inspirational for me, so I hope they bring you hope to carry on...

Little Change of the heart,
Little light in the dark.
Little hope that you just might find your way out of here.
Cuz you've been hiding for days,
wasted  and wasting away.
But I got a little hope today, you'll face your fears.
Yeah, I know it's not easy. 
I know that it's hard.
Follow the lights to the city.
Get up and go!
Take a chance and be Strong, or you could spend you're whole life holding on.
Don't look back , just go.
Take a breath, move on.
You could spend you're whole life holding on, your could spend you're whole life holding on.
Believe the tunnel can end.
Believe your body can mend.
Yeah, I know you can make it through, cuz I believe in you.
So lets go put up a fight, lets go make everything right.
Go on and take a shot.
Go give it all you've got.
Oh yeah, I know it's not easy, I know that it's hard.
I know that it's not always pretty.
Get up and go!
Take a chance and be strong, or you could spend your whole life holding on, you could spend your whole life holding on.
Don't want to wake up to the telephone ring.
Are you sitting down? I need to tell you something.
Enough is enough.
You can stop waiting to breath.
And don't wait up for me.
Get up and to!
Take a chance and be strong, or you could spend your whole life holding on, you could spend your whole life holding on.
Don't spend your whole life holding on.
Get up.....

Beautiful song by,

What a Journey!

This has truly been an amazing ride! The pounds melting (sweating literally) away! Inches gone, good riddance! Looking forward to the next 100 days-- and the next after that!

It's all about the "play list"!

So after about 10 weeks, 40-50 hours of listening to the same play list, I decided to start putting together a new one.  But first I need to pay tribute to the tunes that have inspired, pushed, and brought me to my knees at times. Which, I can now get back up!

So I start off with 30 minutes on the elliptical...
Love Shack- The B-52's-- It's best to begin everything with some 'Love'....
Then we move on to, All the single ladies-Beyonce---It's all about the "booty!
Next is,  Only the Good Die Young-Billy Joel---It helps you to get your-bad  @%# on!
Then we have-Old Time Rock 'n' Roll--Bob Seger--- Tom Cruze in his tighty whiteys-Inspirational!
On to--I Feel the Earth Move--Carol King---You have to get your butt moving, to move the earth!
Mid-Life Chrysler--Collin Raye---It reminds me how much my husband loves me, with a great beat!
Then we have,  Sugar---Def Leopard---Hot, Sticky, Sweet,  The hot is from the sweat dripping off my face, causing the stickiness, and the Sweet reminds us it's OK to pour sugar ON you, just not IN you!
This brings me to the last 5 minutes, which are Killer...American Idiot---Green Day---I'm the Idiot for letting myself get this way! and the song just gets angry and helps me make it to the 30 Minutes!  Then we have the 2 minute Cool Down!  You Can Leave Your Hat On---Joe Cocker-- A hot sexy Striptease, Now that's some Inspiration!!!!

I started with only being able to do 12 minutes on the elliptical, and I really thought that these people are  trying to kill me.... My heart felt like it would explode, How could this possibly be healthy for my heart! Just walking up the 3rd floor to work would take 5-7 minutes to recover from. Now I sometimes, (for fun!) hike up to the 7th floor, that's tough but it's getting easier! Another song further down on my play list is
Gimme 3 Steps--Lynard Skynyrd---Step one-- Start somewhere.  Step two---Plan! Make time!  Step 3--Just do it!
Other Songs are:
Kiss a Girl---Keith Urban
Rock n Roll Jesus--Kid Rock - Awesome!
Mama Mia--Merile Streep--Amazing and fun!
Unskinny Bop--Poison---Skinny-Skinny-Skinny!
Your Momma Don't Dance--Poison---Maybe she did, but didn't let us see.  I hope she did!
Life is a Highway---Rascal Flatts---It's definitely a journey!
Do ya Think I'm sexy?--Rod Stewart---I'm getting my sexy on!
Satisfaction-Rolling Stones--- The inches falling off are very Satisfying!
Can't get enough of you baby!--Smash Mouth---Fun- Fun- Fun!
I Like It,  I Love It!--Tim Mcgraw---I love it!
I Kissed a Girl--Katie Perry--A little bit of naughty!
Better than This--Brad Paisley---When you think it can't get any better, it does!
