Any of you have a "personal" theme song? inspired by nativetxn

[PRINCESS VIJA]

I love 2 songs in my fight for losing wt. Does anyone else? I would love to hear how you relate your fight for fitness into songs, or am I the only crazy one??

The first one I listen to on a CD while walking and envision each pound leaving my body.......

Another one bites the dust.... and another one's gone and another one's gone, ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!!!!



The other one is Go the Distance from Hercules.

I have oftened dreamed
of a far-off place (my weight watchers meetings)
Where a great
warm welcome
will be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer (when I reach goal)
when they see my face
and a voice keeps saying
this is where I'm meant to be. .(I know WW is the plan for me)

I will find my way (I need to find the motivation from within)
I can go the distance
I'll be there someday (it will take time but I will make it)
If I can be strong .(with the help of prayer, friends and WISH I gain strength and courage)
I know ev'ry mile.
Will be worth my while
I would go most anywhere
to feel like I belong.

I am on my way (I have faith in myself)
I can go the distance
I don't care how far
Somehow I'll be strong
I know ev'ry mile (All my walking / exercising will pay off)
Will be worth my while
I would go most anywhere
to find where I belong (I owe it to myself and my family to get healthy and "belong" to the healthy and happy!)

I don't know if I would call it a personal theme song but I have always found the song "Reach" by Gloria Estefan to be very inspiring. I believe it was the theme song for the 1996 Olympic Games so it would kind of need to be inspiring.

Reach

Some dreams live on in time forever
Those dreams, you want with all your heart
And I'll do whatever it takes
Follow through with the promise I made
Put it all on the line
What I hoped for at last would be mine

Chorus:
If I could reach, higher
Just for one moment touch the sky
From that one moment in my life
I'm gonna be stronger
Know that I've tried my very best
I'd put my spirit to the test
If I could reach

Some days are meant to be remembered
Those days we rise above the stars
So I'll go the distance this time
Seeing more the higher I climb
That the more I believe
All the more that this dream will be mine

Chorus:
If I could reach, higher
Just for one moment touch the sky
From that one moment in my life
I'm gonna be stronger
Know that I've tried my very best
I'd put my spirit to the test
If I could reach

Chorus 2:
If I could reach, higher
Just for one moment touch the sky
I'm gonna be stronger
From that one moment in my life
I'm gonna be so much stronger yes I am
Know that I've tried my very best
I'd put my spirit to the test
If I could reach higher
If I could, If I could
If I could reach
Reach, I'd reach, I'd reach
I'd reach' I'd reach so much higher
Be stronger

I love singing this song on my am walks!! It's from my favorite movie, The Sound of Music, sometimes I change the lyrics to fit what's going on with me..

When I see the piles of laundry
I'll know it'll all get done
Then I'll take my bubble bath and have some fun!
Besides what I see, I have confidence in ME!!!!

But here are the right words!


What will this day be like?
I wonder.
What will my future be?
I wonder.
It could be so exciting,
To be out in the world,
To be free!
My heart should be wildly rejoicing.
Oh, what's the matter with me?
I've always longed for adventure,
To do the things I've never dared.
Now here I'm facing adventure
Then why am I so scared?
A captain with seven children...
What's so fearsome about that?
Oh, I must stop these doubts,
All these worries.
If I don't I just know I'll turn back!
I must dream of the things I am seeking.
I am seeking the courage I lack.
The courage to serve them with reliance,
Face my mistakes without defiance.
Show them I'm worthy
And while I show them
I'll show me!
So, let them bring on all their problems,
I'll do better than my best.
I have confidence
They'll put me to the test!
But I'll make them see
I have confidence in me.
Somehow I will impress them.
I will be firm, but kind.
And all those children,
Heaven bless them
They will look up to me
And mind me!
With each step I am more certain,
Everything will turn out fine.
I have confidence,
The world can all be mine!
They'll have to agree
I have confidence in me.
I have confidence in sunshine,
I have confidence in rain.
I have confidence that spring will come again!
Besides, which you see
I have confidence in me.
Strength doesn't lie in numbers.
Strength doesn't lie in wealth,
Strength lies in nights of peaceful slumbers,
When you wake up, wake up! It's healthy!
All I trust I leave my heart to,
All I trust becomes my own!
I have confidence in confidence alone.
I have confidence in confidence alone!
Besides, which you see,
I have confidence in me!

Hey those songs are great! It would be great to get a whole list of inspiring songs.

 

[Tink33]

I heard this at the gym last week and adopted it as my workout song. The artist is Michelle Branch

Goodbye to You

Ohhh yeah
It hurts to want everything & nothing at the same time
I want whats yours and I want whats mine
I want you but I'm not giving in this time (all that yummy food)

Goodbye to you (all the fat)
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
The one thing that I tried to hold on to

I asked the CB for their favorite inspirational songs. Check out their list HERE .

Here are two terrific songs! They are 'love' type songs but you have to think of them as if you are singing to your body -- or your body is singing to you.

Cher - If I could turn Back Time
Cher
If I Could Turn Back Time

I don't know why I did the things I did
I don't know why I said the things I said
Pride's like a knife, it can cut deep inside
Words are like weapons, they wound sometimes
I didn't really mean to hurt you
I didn't wanna see you go
I know I made you cry
But baby

CHORUS
If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that have hurt you
And you'd stay
If I could reach the stars
I'd give them all to you
Then you'd love me, love me
Like you used to do
If I could turn back

My world was shattered, I was torn apart
Like somebody took a knife
And drove it deep in my heart
When you walked out that door
I swore that I didn't care
But I lost every thing darling then and there
Too strong to tell you I was sorry
Too proud to tell you I was wrong
I know that I was blind, and darling

CHORUS



Queen - You're my Best Friend
Lyrics
Ooh, you make me live
Whatever this world can give to me
It's you, you're all I see
Ooh, you make me live now honey
Ooh, you make me live

Oh, you're the best friend
That I ever had
I've been with you such a long time
You're my sunshine
And I want you to know
That my feelings are true
I really love you
(ooh) oh, you're my best friend

Ooh, you make me live

Ooh, I've been wandering round
But I still come back to you (still come back to you)
In rain or shine
You've stood by me girl
I'm happy at home (happy at home)
You're my best friend

Ooh, you make me live
Whenever this world is cruel to me
I got you, to help me forgive - oo oo ooh
Ooh, you make me live now honey
Ooh, you make me live

Oh, you're the first one
When things turn out bad
You know I'll never be lonely
You're my only one
And I love the thing
I really love the things that you do
Oh, you're my best friend

Oh, ooh, you make me live

I'm happy (happy at home)
You're my best friend
Oh, oh, you're my best friend
Ooh, you make me live
Oo oo ooh
You, you're my best friend

Imagine singing this to all that food that you know isn't good for you!

GLORIA GAYNOR LYRICS

"I Will Survive"

First I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
without you by my side
But I spent so many nights
thinking how you did me wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to carry on
and so you're back
from outer space
I just walked in to find you here
with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed my stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
you'd be back to bother me

Go on now go walk out the door
just turn around now
'cause you're not welcome anymore
weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
you think I'd crumble
you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
as long as i know how to love
I know I will stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
and I'll survive
I will survive

It took all the strength I had
not to fall apart
kept trying hard to mend
the pieces of my broken heart
and I spent oh so many nights
just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
Now I hold my head up high
and you see me
somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person
still in love with you
and so you felt like dropping in
and just expect me to be free
now I'm saving all my loving
for someone who's loving me

Jody, I was reading the I will Survive lyrics and imagined animated food! Too funny!
