More music talk

I'm going to have to go a little longer and eat a little less today because I'm still stuck at 202lbs. :P So much for being under 200 by Friday right? Oh well. I didn't GAIN anything so that's good.

It's just frustrating because yesterday I had a bowl of oatmeal (NO sugar), eggs with brown rice and black beans and some black-corn chips with little bit of cheese and salsa, plus 130 calories worth of skim milk and half a bottle of this awful beer (MGD 64, which has, duh, 64 calories). I was on a treadmill on a steep incline for 40 minutes and on a weight-loss course on a training bike for 40 minutes. HOW did I not lose weight yesterday?!

I thought this morning I'd share a few more of the songs that really keep my going in my ever-increasing workouts. First I have to thank my little sister, because several of the songs that really keep me going are from High School Musical, I have "Fabulous," "Now or Never," and "I want it all." They're all wonderfully upbeat and help me keep going.

I really enjoy Head Automatica's song "Cannibal Girl," the lyrics go like this:

"I don't wanna bore you,
but here I go again,
Cannibal girl,
You've been eating me alive."

It definitely helps me remember that I did this to myself and I have to fix it. I have quite a few other songs that help me remember to keep going even when it's tough, one of my favorites is "Just one step" from Jason Robert Brown's "Songs for a new world." The song is actually about this rich lady who gets cheated on and threatens to jump off a building, but the chorus goes,

"Just one step,
look at where one step leads you
Just one step,
I'll be free"

I just have to work harder today I guess.
