I'm Satisfied

Hey yall,
Caitlin here: So this particular post is of a comical nature. I was introduced to this song a few years back and loved it. I think we all can relate to it. It is to the tune of "I will survive" the song is I'm satisfied and it is by Chonda Pierce. I hope you appreciate the lyrics:

I’m Satisfied 

Chonda Pierce 

At first I was afraid I was mortified 

Kept thinking I would get a treadmill when I turned 45 

But then I spent so many nights eating all those krispy kremes

And I could see, I’d never fit in my blue jeans 

And so im back 

On norditrack   

I just walk miles and I get nowhere  

Trying to burn up all this fat 

I should have changed to pepsi free, cottage cheese, or celery 

If I had known for just one second there’d be so much more of me 

I go and go 

I walk out the door 

I just turn around now  

And there’s the weight I was before  

Who said that being fit would somehow set me free? 

Cmon and shout it THIS WORLD COULD USE SOME MORE OF ME 

Chorus

Oh no not I, I’m satisfied 

I don’t care if I will never be a size 2 in my life 

I’ve got all my life to live  and ive got all this love to give 

I’m satisfied, I’m satisfied, hey hey 

I count all those silly rice cakes that won’t pass through my lips 

I just want chocolate covered donuts hanging on my hips  

Cause I spent oh so many nights just trying to starve myself 

I use to cry, but now I always supersize 

And you can see, there’s more of me 

I’m not that scrawny little girl that I used to be  

Fried foods and double chins are still a girls best friend 

Keep those models on the run way, cause im a perfect 10  

Repeat chorus 

Never forget that no matter what size you may be you are worth so much! Don't get down on yourself during your journey to a healthier life style, choose to be satisfied! 

Why I've Been Silent

Hey Yall,
Caitlin here: I know I have not written in a while, but that has been for good reason....I haven't had anything to write about. These past few weeks have been a struggle. The only form of exercise I get is when I go for a walk/jog outside during the day. I have had a couple different things keep me from being able to do this. 1) Bad weather- we got 6" of snow about two weeks ago. This caused downed trees and power lines and it took a long time for the city to get it cleared up, making jogging unsafe, 2) My clients- usually they go to day programs and I get time off during the day. The past month I have had one or both clients home all day for 3-4 days in a row, meaning no time off for me. Needless to say, on the days that I did not have them home I chose to nap and relax. I would love to say that I am blogging now because I am back on the wagon, but that just isn't true and probably won't be for another few weeks. However, I have done two positive things in the meantime. First, I bought a new pair of running shoes. This way when I start running again I have a good pair of shoes to use. Second, I have not gained any weight. I may not be losing any, but the fact that I haven't exercised in three weeks, and haven't been eating as healthy as I have in the past yet I am still maintaining my weight, makes me happy. I still have a few more weeks where my clients will be home more than usual, meaning I end up working at least 60 hour weeks. Who wants to exercise after working a 60 hour work week??? Certainly not this girl. However I do promise to do start C25K again once things at work have calmed down.  How have things been going with you???
