Fit Club - I Did It My Way

With apologies to Frankie:

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.

Yep, I did Fit Club, but I did it my way.  I didn't do it to lose weight (although I lost a few pounds).  I didn't do it to please anybody else.  I did it just for me as a lifestyle change.  And it worked.  It is now automatic that I make those healthy choices Sandi asked for each week.  I no longer look for the closest parking space (unless I'm really, REALLY in a hurry).  I bought a set of hand weights - and yes, I'm using them!  If I feel the urge to snack I ask myself "are you really hungry, or just bored?"  Hey, so what if I get strange looks for talking to myself?  It's a question that needs to be asked!   I won't go to lunch until I've walked at least 2,000 steps.  Fit Club got me started, having Old Jersey Girl for partner helped me stay on track.

And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, Ill say it clear,
Ill state my case, of which I'm certain.

I've lived a life that's full.
I've traveled each and ev'ry highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
