Highlight (lowlight) of the Week:
Highlight – I lost 4lbs this past week. Lowlight –
Shuffling along walking, a mile from home, head down, singing “I wear my Sunglasses at Night”, LOUDLY, not noticing that I am shuffling past two seniors, seated on their front porch, having a good laugh at my lack of singing prowess.
Congrats on the 8 lb. loss, and who cares if you can sing or not. Sing out loud! Sing out proud!
I’m just happy I wasn’t singing “Mmmmbop” by Hanson as I shuffled past 🙂
Good job! I am currently arguing with my scale, because it seems to be in a contrary mood. I will update once I beat it into submission … er … um … talk it out …
Yeah, I had to kick mine a few times before it cooperated 🙂
You’re doing great. I think the seniors laughed because you made them happy. That’s a good thing.
When I shuffle past today, I’ll be sure to sing some Frank Sinatra as I pass their porch 🙂
Yeah, you could sing My Way.
