I'm Still Good

I had took my two days leave of absence from exercise since I worked 14 hour days and had nothing left to put out. Though it was gurling, I thought of the money being well spent for our holidays together. Yesterday was a lovely, cool day for a walk. It cleared my head to take a stroll then I returned to work for a couple more productive hours.
Though I have been faithful to walking or dancing/drinking for my workout. I feel more out of shape than ever. I think our Power of Three has help me spiritually and emotionally, but I feel my body has been neglected. The scales are high and my physical comfort is low. My clothes are tight and squeezing on my self-esteem.
I just keep asking myself why have I let myself go? Why? There never is an answer. Just an overwhelming feeling of defeat.
HOWEVER,
Today...I dragged my ass to the gym first thing this morning. I really wanted to go for the spa treatment of it; to pamper myself in the steam room, sauana, and whirlpool. Why I haven't hardly used my gym membership in the past year, I just don't understand. I told myelf that I would do a half hour, but before I knew it, I had managed an hour of circuit work. This morning I saw a woman on tv who was so large and so out of shape that she could only use one of those pedal gadgets to sit and spin her arms for two minutes and then she was out of breath. Eventually she graduated to pedaling her feet for a couple minutes. Now she is thin. If she can bounce back from that far, I get myself back on track. God always manages to come through with the right song to encourage me. I gotta love that Hanna Montana. I've been digging Mylie Cyrus, but I never paid any attention to Hanna Montana music thinking it was kid's stuff. Yet, today a song came on as I worked out and it totally lifted my chin up. Google the song to listen to it. I really felt it was a song of encouragment for The Power of Three.


I'm Still Good lyrics

So I might slip again,
let it in now and then,
that don't mean anything,
i'm still good

I look around me,
how did I get here?
not part of my plan,
I ended up in a situation,
wasn't in my hands

I think about it,
when I wanna give up
how to keep on goin'
how to keep my chin up
somehow I know it,
I'm not gonna give up,
never gonna give up

So I might slip again,
let it in now and then,
that don't mean anything,
i'm still good,
trying to be my best,
when I fall it's a mess,
pick myself up again,
I'm still good,
I'm still good,
I'm still good

When days are like that,
and I can't shake 'em,
it's weighing on my mind,
so i'm just saying,
I'm only human,
life gets you down sometimes

I think about it,
when I wanna give up
how to keep on goin'
how to keep my chin up
somehow I know it,
I'm not gonna give up,
never gonna give up

So I might slip again,
let it in now and then,
that don't mean anything,
i'm still good,
trying to be my best,
when I fall it's a mess,
pick myself up again,
I'm still good
(repeat chorus)


Life puts up a fight with me,
but I can take on anything,
(anything)
I'm gonna make it real,
this dream I believe in

I think about it,
when I wanna give up
how to keep on goin'
how to keep my chin up
somehow I know it,
I'm not gonna give up,
never gonna give up,
oh oh

So I might slip again,
let it in now and then,
that don't mean anything,
i'm still good,
trying to be my best,
when I fall it's a mess,
pick myself up again,
I'm still good
(repeat chorus)

I'm still good,
pick myself up again,
I'm still good,
I'm still, I'm still good


What stood out to me in the lyrics is ... when I fall it' a mess.. PICK MYSELF UP AGAIN..... NOT---- BEAT MYSELF UP AGAIN.
Girls.....we're still goooooood!
Much Love, Mamasita
PS- Uraban Dictionary states Momasita means standard for mother or 'the red-hot kind'. I'm one and the same!!
