So it’s no secret that I’ve been struggling really hard lately with staying on plan.  We’re talking really really hard.  In fact, I had somewhat of a brain/body/spirit meltdown last night.  Thanks to a couple of really good friends (you know who you are), I’m feeling better today and more hopeful.  Thank you.

On my way into work, I heard this song that I think really applies to the whole weight-loss struggle.  It pretty much applies to any struggle or challenge in life and I’m sure the songwriter didn’t have weight loss in mind when s/he wrote it, but it still applies really well.  It added that extra touch of hope on top of my day.

I had heard the song before, but couldn’t remember who sang it, and this time I really listened to the words.  Perhaps it really struck me this time around because of the situation I’m in.  Of course, when the song was over and they announced the title and artist, I was completely appalled.  Miley Cyrus.  Ack!  :o)  Then I remembered that my friends played a couple of her songs for me while I was in CA and had to admit that they were decent.  This one is called “The Climb.”  (Hey guys, was this one of the ones that you played for me?)
