'I can go the distance. I will find my way, if i can be strong.' - Go the Distance

NOTE ON TITLE: Despite the slight pessimism you may feel when you hear that the lyrics of my title above are from Hercules the Disney movie, the song has very good 'stay strong' lyrics, apart from the occasional line of 'in your arms'! I'll post the lyrics at the bottom.


Oh Yes! Another sucessful day and another gruelling workout! lol. Today, as predicted has gone very well - im only one night away from knowing my weight for the week.

For those of you that dont know, im going to weight myself on tuesday morning rather than evening, because in the afternoon there will be lots of food because its my sisters birthday!

I'll make this blog quite brief because its late and im working tomorrow (oh joy!) not to mention i have to write in my sisters card still! oops!

So, my ideal plan was to go gyming this morning but given the lateness i went to bed last night, i knew even then that it was out of the question. The only reason i woke up at 9am (painfully bleary eyed) is because an important parcel was supposed to arrive and we couldnt miss it. It was delivered and i went back to bed. I drifted in and out of sleep due to a high frequency of phone calls this morning. Eventually i got up at 12 midday.

It was definitely too late to go to the gym as i still had to make lots of phone calls regarding uni and finances. After a number of phone calls, one of which included me having to part with £100 (! ) i quick marched to the bus half an hour later than i had wanted to get there, then went off to the city where my mum works.

I spent the rest of the day tactfully avoiding those aisles which had food in them. Although i did have to buy some chocolate for my sister, and was quite proud that i avoided the pitfall of buy some myself. In fact, today has been super. I managed to find exaclty what i wanted in town and more without any problems. After finishing shopping for my sisters birthday prezzies, i walked to meet my mum. On the way home she mentioned what i had done today and i carefully slipped into my events of the day that i had picked up a wrap and eaten it in the park.

Back home, there was no time for dilly-dalllying and we went off to circuit training (yes!). It was a hard workout, though i found it easier than last time i did it. 600kcal in the exercise kitty! I now prepared my speech for tea and mention i would have my soup otherwise it would go off (it wouldnt but its a good excuse).

However, when we got home i said id have tea after a shower but we talked so much i sat with my parents while they ate, only sipping on a pepsi max. After my shower, i decided to avoid those crippling stomach pains for the night, as it would only make me want to binge, and i had the other half a soup.

Now im up in my room, and about to write in my sisters card and go to bed. Its been a long day and im looking forward to tomorrow to see my sisters face because my family got her a car!! lol.

GO THE DISTANCE LYRICS:

I have often dreamed
Of a far off place
Where a hero's welcome
Would be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer
When they see my face
And a voice keeps saying
This is where I'm meant to be

I'll be there someday
I can go the distance
I will find my way
If I can be strong
I know ev'ry mile
Will be worth my while
When I go the distance
I'll be right where I belong
Down an unknown road
To embrace my fate
Though the road may wander
It will lead me to you
And a thousand years
Would be worth the wait
It may take a lifetime
But somehow I'll see it through
And I won't look back
I can go the distance
And I'll stay on track
No I won't accept defeat
It's an uphill slope
But I won't lose hope
Till I go the distance
And my journey is complete
But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
For a hero's strength is measured by his heart
Like a shooting star
I can go the distance
I will search the world
I will face its harms
I don't care how far
I can go the distance
TillI find my hero's welcome
Waiting in your arms...
I will search the world
I will face its harms
TillI find my hero's welcome
Waiting in your arms...
