'Drea is trying very hard to focus on the non-scale victories. Each time I put on a pair of pants, they are loose. (((And the crowd goes wild))).
My pants prove that there's progress. My focus on the pound had me thinking about Miss Q'n, a Zap Mama song; it could be because I've been listening to old music. It could be that I just like Zap Mama. Along with Sweet Honey in the Rock, I feel like they've never made a lackluster album.
There's always multiple interpretations to a work of art but Miss Q'n reminds me of my fascination with pounds.
Lyrics to Miss Q'n:The original version of Miss Q'n is slow but I like this house mix too.
When i was a little child i dreamed to be a princess
when i tried to be this princess i dreamed to meet a prince
when i was this princess i dreamed to be a queen
when i was this princess i dreamed to meet a prince
travelling from the north to the south
Travelling from the north to the south, southern stories
South to the east.
East to the west
we all looking for the best
Travelling from the south to the north, northern stories
North to the east
East to the west
were all looking for the best
When i met this prince i dreamed to be a queen
when i tried to be this queen i dreamed to meet a king
When i was with this prince i dreamed to be a queen
When i was this queen i did not know what to do with this prince
Travelling from the north to the south, southern stories
South to the east.
East to the west
we all looking for the best
Travelling from the south to the north, northern stories
North to the east
East to the west
were all looking for the best
When i was this queen like society tell us to be
I realized that i was indeed i was empty inside
When i was this queen (2:30 in song hard to understand)
I realized that i wanna be...
I wanna be, i wanna be, i wanna be me
Travelling from the north to the south, southern stories
South to the east.
East to the west
we all looking for the best
Travelling from the south to the north, northern stories
North to the east
East to the west
were all looking for the best
Dont try to be somebody else
Dont try just be...

I'll give you ONE MILLION invisible DOLLARS for that one pound! lol I wish I could lose some for money too.
ReplyDeleteI have to go by how clothes especially jeans feel also. My thighs are always tight in jeans when I don't do weight training consistently and they always loosen up with 3 or 4 weeks of starting weights and lunging around on command again. ahhh here is to more comfortable pants!
ReplyDelete@Nicci_Nifty Eats,
ReplyDeleteAt least one million invisible dollars made me laugh and I'm hoping, like a true fiend, that laughing burns a few calories. ;)
@midlife_swimmer,
You remind me that I need to do more weight training. It's the one portion of my regimen that tends to get neglected.
I love this post. One pound may not seem like a ton, but really that one pound you lost is one you never have to see again. And the scale is a very fickle fellow to be sure!
ReplyDeleteDiane,
ReplyDelete:o, what you said about *that one pound...lost* really resonates with me.
