12 Wks Till Summer - 4 Wks To Go!!!

This song is called Stand and it's by Rascal Flatts. This song, for me, is all about getting back up and doing something when you might think you can't or when you fail.

"Stand" by Rascal Flatts

You feel like a candle in a hurricane
Just like a picture with a broken frame
Alone and helpless
Like you've lost your fight
But you'll be alright, you'll be alright

[Chorus:]
Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break
Cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad you get strong
Wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand, Then you stand
Life's like a novel
With the end ripped out
The edge of a canyon
With only one way down
Take what you're given before its gone
Start holding on, keep holding on

Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend till you break
Cause it's all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad, you get strong
Wipe your hands, shake it off
Then you stand, then you stand

Everytime you get up
And get back in the race
One more small piece of you
Starts to fall into place
Oh

[Repeat Chorus]

Just spent a week in Disney so didn't weigh in last week. Exercise goal - get out of bed for early AM spin class. Current motivation - wedding in 2 weeks - have a great dress that will look and feel better with a few more lbs gone!

Great job Mike!

Wow .. 4 more weeks, I can't believe it. Time has gone by so fast. Great job on the losses, I'm a little disappointed at myself because I thought I was going to lose more than 1 lb but oh well there's always a next time right?

I have been so down in the dumps lately and I'm not sure why. I am reading every single one of your posts to get the motivation.

My exercise goal this week is to get into the gym at least 3 days. I was doing okay and then fell off the wagon. I trying soooo hard to pull myself back up on there!

way to go everyone!

I get so much energy from Usher - More (RedOne Jimmy Joker Remix) !!!! Lyrics are motivating, nice heavy dancebeat.. Love it!!

Watch me as I dance under the spotlight-
Listen to the people screaming out more and more,
'Coz I create the feeling that keep 'em coming back,
Yeah, I create the feeling that keep 'em coming back,
So captivating when I get it on the floor.

Know y'all been patiently waiting, I know you need me, I can feel it,
I'm a beast, I'm an animal, I'm that monster in the mirror,
The headliner, finisher, I'm the closer, winner.
Best when under pressure with second's left I show up.

[CHORUS x2]
If you really want more, scream it out louder,
Get it on the floor, bring out the fire,
And light it up, take it up higher,
Gonna push it to the limit, give it more.

Get up both your hands, I'm in the zone, tight!
Put 'em in the air, if you want more (and) more,
Cos I can't wait to feel it.
I go hard, can't stop,
But if I stop then just know that imma bring it back,
Never quittin' on believin' that!!

Oh and my exercise goal: I just started building up my jogging schedule, so I at least want to jog 5 times this weak!

Keep up the good work y'all!
