Day 57 (phase 2) - Feeling good

I have been away on a conference with work and have had many comments about my 'change' which have made me feel great, boosted my confidence and have reminded me of the many benefits of getting my life under control.


I have indulged in more food and drink than I should have so my weigh in will be interesting this coming Tuesday. Also, my regular gym exercise has lapsed a bit due to circumstances (me)

Well, what is the bad/good news? I gained 2.6 lb and was told off for letting my exercise regime slip and I know I have been letting the diet slip in one or two small areas. Going into week 8, I have to try some 'trigger' foods so it is important get a grip! I promise myself to do so.

This song is SO appropriate to how I feel now about me and my life. This has to be my current signature tune ad it is from an artist with a fabulous and unique style and voice, Nina Simone. If you have never heard this song, seek it out and enjoy the beauty that is 'Feeling good':

Title: Feeling Good
Artist: Nina Simone
Album: I put a spell on you
Year : 1965


Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Reeds driftin’ on by you know how I feel

It’s a new dawn
It’s a new day
It’s a new life
For me
And I’m feeling good

Fish in the sea you know how I feel
River running free you know how I feel
Blossom in the tree you know how I feel

It’s a new dawn
It’s a new day
It’s a new life
For me
And I’m feeling good

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don’t you know
Butterflies all havin’ fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
That’s what I mean
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me

Stars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel
It’s a new dawn
It’s a new day
It’s a new life
For me
And I’m feeling good
