It's almost the New Year.
I haven't been to the gym in AT LEAST a week. Before that, a month.
I haven't been to Weight Watchers since November.
I'm feeling the blahs. Can you tell?
I've maintained my weight over the break, but, I just feel bad. Not sad, not depressed, but, my body feels BAD. I've got to do something. And, I need to get started on it FAST.
I need to take care of myself! I only have this one body and I can't believe the damage I've already done to it.
I'm kind of disgusted with myself.
We are planning on going to Mexico next October. There's my incentive. I have nine months. I can be to 75% of my goal by then if I get my act together.
I'll keep you posted on my progress.

Music Monday... On Wednesday
This song reminds me of when Ed and I were first married. We lived in a little house near the local bar and would walk there Friday nights. My sister worked there and this song was a staple on the jukebox. It was also the second CD we bought together.
Chloe Dancer, Crown of Thorns
Ooo, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Chloe don't know better
Chloe's just like me, only beautiful
A couple of years difference
But those lasses never learn and you know
Chloe danced the tables in the French Quarter
She's always been given so I can't always make her laugh
But I'm proud to say and I won't forget
The time spent laying by her side, oh yeah, yeah
T he time spent laying by her side, oh yeah, yeah
Dreams like this must die
And a dream like this must die
Dream like this must...
You ever heard the story of Mr. Faded Glory?
Say he who rides a pony must someday fall
Talkin' to my alter, life is what you make it
And if you make it death well rest your soul away
Away, away, yeah child
It's a broken kind of feeling she'd have to tie me to the ceiling
A bad moon's a comin' better say your prayers, child
I wanna tell you that I love you but does it really matter?
I just can't stand to see you dragging down, again
Again, my friend again, oh yeah
So I'm singing
And this is my kinda love
It's the kind that moves on
It's the kind that leaves me alone, yes it does
And this is my kinda love
It's the kind that moves on
It's the kind that leaves me alone
I used to treat you like a lady now you're a substitute teacher
This bottle's not a pretty, not a pretty sight, yeah
I owe the man some money so I'm turnin over honey
See Mr. Faded Glory is once again doin' time, oh yeah
And this is my kinda love
It's the kind that moves on
It's the kind that leaves me alone, yes it does
And this is my kinda love
It's the kind that moves on
It's unkind and it's unkind and
It'll leave me alone, yeah
Like a crown of thorns
It's all who you know, yeah
So don't burn your bridges woman
Cause someday, yeah
Kick it!
And this is my kinda love
It's the kind that moves on
It's the kind that leaves me alone, yeah
And this is my kinda love
It's the kind that moves on
It's unkind and it's the kind that
Baby i said com' on, com' on, com' on,
Com' on yeah I said baby don't burn your
Bridges woman

Music Monday...
On Tuesday, of course...
I love this song because it reminds me of good friends... (and dancing in the garage...)
No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry.
Said - said - said: I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown,
Oba - obaserving the 'ypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet.
Good friends we have, oh, good friends we've lost
Along the way.
In this great future, you can't forget your past;
So dry your tears, I seh.
No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry.
'Ere, little darlin', don't shed no tears:
No, woman, no cry.
Said - said - said: I remember when-a we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown.
And then Georgie would make the fire lights,
As it was logwood burnin' through the nights.
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge,
Of which I'll share with you;
My feet is my only carriage,
So I've got to push on through.
But while I'm gone, I mean:
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right!
I said, everything's gonna be all right-a!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right, now!
Everything's gonna be all right!
So, woman, no cry;
No - no, woman - woman, no cry.
Woman, little sister, don't shed no tears;
No, woman, no cry.
I remember when we used to sitIn the government yard in Trenchtown.
And then Georgie would make the fire lights,
As it was logwood burnin' through the nights.

Of which I'll share with you;

So I've got to push on through.
But while I'm gone:
No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry.
Woman, little darlin', say don't shed no tears;
No, woman, no cry.
Eh! (Little darlin', don't shed no tears!
No, woman, no cry.
Little sister, don't shed no tears!
No, woman, no cry.)
