Weight Loss Song of Joy!!! Sing Along... :-)Aug 06 2009 21:35
Copied from a Forum Post I Created recently... Wanted to preserve it in one place, so I'm putting it here... Enjoy if you want!
July 31...
I'm feeling really Happy Today with some weight lost, inches lost, Fitness Goals almost Achieved! 
I've now lost 27.9 lbs, 4 inches from my waist alone, changed clothing sizes, and almost finished 1,000,000 steps in 2 months time-- Today will be the Finish Line for THAT!!!
(If I'll Quit stopping, to write THIS, lol!!!)
As I tried a new size of clothing, a funny collection of thoughts began to run through my silly head, and-- with no intention to belittle the Lovely Hymn they worked with!-- I thought I'd share and see if anyone else had some more to add.....
I'm not really so heavy now, but I've felt this way, anyhow!
To the Tune of... "What a Day that will be..."
Add any encouraging/motivating/funny thoughts you would like!
"What a Day...THAT Will Be....
When My Feet... Again, I'll See....
No More Look--ing... Into Space...
Wondrin'... "Are... They Still In Place...?"
Just to Sit... With No Alarms...!
Knowing That, I'll Cause No Harm....
What A Day.... Glorious Day... THAT Will Be....!!!!"
Got any ideas of what YOU are Looking-Forward-To-Enjoying?
New Verses.............. * giggle! *
"What a Day... That Will Be...
When My Seat-Belt... I Shall Seize...
Just to Snap...It, In It's Place,
With Such New... Amaz-ing Grace...!
No More Shift-ing... It To 'Wide...'
For I'll Gent-ly... 'Fit' Inside...
What a Day, Glorious Day... THAT Shall Be...!!!"
"What a Day... That Will Be...
When My Tow-el... Cov-ers Me...
No More Need... For Extra Size...
For, It Fits... Me, Side-to-Side...
All-Around-- with Room To Spare--
As I Safe-ly...Tuck it There...
What a Day... Glorious Day... THAT Will Be!!!"
Lookin' Forward to that, lol!!!
Another one...!
"What a Day... That Will Be...
When My Scale... Shall HONOR ME....!
The Weight Will Glide Across It's Arm...
Rest, and Smile... To Say, "I'm Home!"
Just To See... A Job 'Well Done...'
Is 'Worth It All'... When I Have WON....!!!!"
What A DAY... GLORIOUS DAY... THAT Shall Be...!!!!
"What a Day... That Will be...
When In My Closet... I Shall See...
No More 'Range' I Want To Hide...
From 'So-Small'... to 'Extra-Wide...'
Just The Clothes... I WANT To See...
Nice and Small... and 'Fit' to Me...
What a Day... Glorious Day... THAT Shall Be...!!!!"
"What a Day... That Will Be...
When No Bul-ges... I Shall See...
Hanging HERE... and Over THERE...!
Must Be CARE-FUL... What I Wear...!
Nice and Trim... Down Either Side...
With Clothes That 'Fit'... Instead of 'Hide...!'
What a Day... Glorious Day... THAT Shall Be...!!!!"
"What a Day... That Will Be....
When My Feet...Don't Trouble Me...
Not To Limp... Nor Feel The Pain...
'Cause My Weight... Made Them Complain...
Just To Walk... and Not Be Tired...
As I Cross... My finish Line....!!!! (1,000,000 Steps Today!!! YIPPEE!!!) 
What A DAY... GLORIOUS DAY... THAT Shall Be....!!!!!"
Already True!!! Double-YIPPEE!!!
Maybe My Favorite....
"What a Day... That Will Be...
When Mir-rors Hold... NO Dread For ME...!!!
No More To Fear... Or Look Away...
Hating What... I've Seen Them Say...
Glass Store Fronts... Or Mirrors Wide--
Will Only Bring... An Honest PRIDE...!!!
What A DAY... GLORIOUS DAY... THAT Shall Be...!!!!"
"What a Day... That Will Be...
When In The Dust... Behind, I See...
The Broken Dreams... and Hopes Laid Waste--
By The Weight ... That Took Their Place--
Rising Up... Again... RENEWED...!
By The Hopes... I HOLD In View...
What A Day... Worth-It-ALL-Day!... THAT Shall Be...!!!!"
Got a couple more to add...
"What a Day... that will be...
When, in my 'Weight-Box,' I shall see...
A Hun-dred pounds... laid Neat inside...
To make me grunt, as I lift it high...
No longer borne... by weary feet...
For, My Goal... will be Complete...!!!
What a Day... GLORIOUS DAY!... THAT Shall Be...!!!"
(Better work on those Dead Lifts, lol!!!)
"What a Day... that will be...
When, From My Dreams... At Last, I'll See...
The One I Know... I Should Have Been...
Standing Tall... She'll Live again...
No More a Dream... But, Reality...!
Smiling Brave-ly... back at Me...
What a Day...VICTORIOUS DAY!... THAT Shall Be...!!!"

Caught a No Fun Bug... May 23 2009 08:08
Just a note... I'm away a lot for now. Caught a Bug that is No Fun, and haven't felt like logging or writing yesterday and today. With the outside work I've been doing, and my usually Busy Weekends, I'll be off-line a bit.
My Mom has plans for me Monday, lol! Day Lily Tours! Then, a Picnic planned that afternoon with Church Folks and Friends...
I'll be watching my Goals-- just away a lot.
Have a Great Weekend, Friends! Just being here, as an active part of CC, means ALL CC Folks Deserve Great Times-- we WORK for 'em!!!

Just to make clear-- I created a New Identity
Today!May 05 2009 09:47
Just in case I goof and use my New Identity somewhere-- Yes, I've Created another Alter-Ego...
There is another AutoHarpist in CC now, called 2beittybitty2!
Not too Original, lol!
I'm not trying to confuse, I just didn't like my old Weight Chart being sooo long-time and large as it wasn't showing my New Beginning losses clearly, at all! 
Now, I've a New Chart for my New Efforts to go along with my regular Identity and Chart!
It's NOT to replace my normal identity or hide my real identity, lol!

Notice of Insanity, lol!!!Mar 13 2009 12:46
* copied from my earlier post...to save time typing, lol! *
I wanted to let everybody interested know where I've been, and where I'll be for the next few weeks....
* waves to everybody!!! * I just wanted to let ya'll Fine Folks know I'm terribly busy lately-- up to 401 jars now, with a few to do and finish today-- as well as some freezing! I'm overwhelmed with chicken! I'm currently very happy with a new recipe I couldn't find anywhere, and worked out for myself-- BBQ Chicken pieces in a ready-to-heat-and-eat-jar! (rather easy, really!) Next will be some boned and sauced to make BBQ sandwiches... After finishing these chickens, I'll close down the canning for a few weeks, then come back into it to replenish my Chicken/Shrimp Gumbo stores... After Jury Duty next week, Revival the following week, then a week of finishing preparations for House Guests, etc. for my Oldest Daughter's Big Wedding Day.........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Can you hear me screaming...????) Good news was that I DID reach and use my Treadmill for an hour yesterday! Going to try to do what I can, while Life goes crazily on...! I'll be back-- but it's wild here, and gardening is now beginning nicely-- Spring is coming in!!! 
Hope everyone is doing well!!!

New Schedule...for my CC Friends...Dec 01 2008 10:44
Due to need to concentrate on my health more, I'm going to spend less time online and check in in the evenings to stay in touch with my CC friends... I need to avoid procrastination in the mornings and go EXERCISE!!!
I've developed a new physical problem that has been disturbing and side-lined my exercise plans while I tried to accept it-- a skipping heart rate combined with a flip-flop sensation, which is actually common and is a premature/too early heart beat that feels like a skipped beat... It occurs mostly in the evening while sitting quietly... and a Nurse friend told me it is the same for her, and several of the Ladies I know at Church, and also occurs in athletes! My first impulse would have been to try in improve my health in the expectation that I could cause it to go away-- but that is unlikely, if athletes develop it, Grrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It disturbs me-- feels awful and unsettling, but I understand it better now...
I've considered my weak areas more and see a need for morning exercise to conquer my weight for life... if I don't, I see I won't... so, I'll shift my computer time to evenings and create a new HABIT that I'm confident will work for me...
I've been offline this weekend with company and canning greens if anyone missed me...
I'll be around still-- logging and Lurking-- but catching up will be an evening session now.
* scurries off away from the computer to go GET ON THE TREADMILL!!!! *
