Shall We Never Forget!


Eight years ago these buildings stood
tall and proud
as a soldier should
then through the sky
like a darkening cloud
came the sound of thunder
from deep below

then to the stairs
the crowds all ran
to escape the cloud
engulfing the land
Our flag stood tall
as she always does
Showing those creeps
who she really was


And just like
our lives were changed
The soldiers were down
And we were in pain
But for these guys
their lives changed more
to the battlefield they went
from shore to shore
I'm not ashamed to say
I'm proud an American to be
Shall We Never Forget
what that means!

Back To Weight Watchers

So, I kind of took the summer off and didn't do too much with my weight watchers - which I know is not a good thing but it is what it is. I've been putting off going back because I was really afraid that I would have gained everything back that I had worked so hard to lose. So, tonight I bit the bullet, took the big step, gathered my courage and drove myself to Weight Watchers again.
The ceiling did not cave in..
no one was shocked to see me...
they didn't run screaming from me..
and they didn't act like I was horrible for not having been there.
No, instead they welcomed me
asked me how my week was
and when I had only gained a couple ounces (from the last time there - 6 weeks ago)
declared that it was the long weekend
that caused the fall.

Now, we all know the long weekend wasn't to blame.. No, it's because i have not been working out like i'm supposed to be and I haven't been following the plan like i'm supposed to be. So -
as of now, I am back ..... going to be working out.. going to be thinking of the plan, working the plan and tracking the plan.....

Now, what was the plan?

ahhh - we shall see how well it is remembered next week when it is time to weigh in again.... Thursdays at 4:30 is weigh in....... let's get back on track and moving DOWN the hill instead of back UP it.
