My final weigh on the LighterLife program and I have lost pounds since last week and returned to my 'fighting weight'...ha ha.So this is it...for the rest of my life. It was an amazing adventure getting to this point and one which has given me more 'highs' and more boosts to my ego from other people than I have had all my life. I feel great, feel positive, think clearly and have a feel good factor about my life and family in a way I have not experienced for many years. And even more amazing was that it wasn't that hard to do!
As I enter the final week of "route to management" I think this song captures the moment, the spirit and the essence of my adventure over the last 6 months perfectly. I did this for my health (for me) and the decision to do it was mine (not the doctor's, my health's or God's decision) and I did it my way!
Title: My way
Artist: Frank Sinatra
Album: My way
Year: 1969
And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, Ill say it clear,
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
I've lived a life that's full.
I've travelled each and every highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Regrets, I've had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.
I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.
To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
No, oh no not me,
I did it my way.
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!
