Saturday - BOTT Cafe & Cardio

Hi BOTTers,

I like American Idol. This was certainly an amazing season with so much talent. I kept bouncing around as to who was my favorite. I know there is a lot of discussion between Adam and Kris. I liked them both but I usually root for the underdog (probably because I've felt like the underdog so much of my life). Both of them are so talented so I have no doubt this year that regardless of winning or not that Adam will do very well.

The song that Kara wrote was very difficult to sing. I saw the lyrics on line and since I can't sing and don't pretend that I can (LOL), I liked the lyrics. I thought of our BOTT group because sometimes staying BOTT can feel as challenging as winning American Idol and singing that song. I share it with you here:

NO BOUNDARIES:

Seconds, hours, so many days

You know what you want, but how long can you wait?

Every moment last forever

When you feel you've lost your way

What if my chances were already gone?

I started believing that I could be wrong

But you give me one good reason

To fight and never walk away

Here I am, still holding on

With every step, you climb another mountain

Every breath, it's harder to believe

You'll make it through the pain, weather the hurricanes

To get to that one thing

Just when you think the road is going nowhere

Just when you almost gave up on your dreams

They take you by the hand and show you that you can

There are no boundaries

I fought to the limit, to stand on the edge

What if today is as good as it gets?

Don't know where the future's heading

But nothing's gonna bring me down

I've jumped every bridge and I've run every line

I risked being safe but I always knew why

I always knew why

So here I am, still holding on

With every step, you climb another mountain

Every breath, it's harder to believe

You'll make it through the pain, weather the hurricanes

To get to that one thing

Just when you think the road is going nowhere

Just when you almost gave up on your dreams

They take you by the hand and show you that you can

You can go higher, you can go deeper

There are no boundaries above and beneath you

Break every rule 'cause there's nothing between you

And your dreams

With every step, you climb another mountain

Every breath, it's harder to believe

Yeah, there are no boundaries

There are no boundaries

With every step, you climb another mountain

Every breath, it's harder to believe

You'll make it through the pain, weather the hurricanes

There are no boundaries (x3)

Wow thanks for sharing that song. I actually got teary reading it. Keep in mind my hormones are a little out of whack but still.... very good lyrics for us. I have company coming today and am not feeling very sure of my food.

So far I have had fiber one and yogurt
think we are just having cheese, fruit and veggie tray etc for lunch
not sure for supper

I am trying to talk myself into going to the gym before they get here. Really struggling to push forward today. Glad you are all here.

Where do you get your jalapeno mustard pretzels? Are they the protein kind?

I just got back from 25 min on elliptical and easy walk with the dog. Didn't think I would so think it helped to post it here.
