ok so i had a moment today where i felt completely ticked at my boss when he made a "comment" about my diet being poor and unhealthy because i snack on crackers wtf? I was so mad when i went to lunch and then i remembered my dad always saying you will get happy in the same britches you got mad in, and i sat there and thought yep cause my boss has no idea about my diet whatsoever, he has never had a meal with me so i let his shitty comment go and came back from lunch a happy girl.

Started back at the gym yesterday, there was a young girl my age on the treadmill, she was doing pretty amazing switching it up between high incline and a good run at about 5mph. I was feeling very competitive, which honestly is an awesome motivator and got in a really great workout of my own. 35 minutes brisk walk and run with a five minute cool down, stretched and called it a night. Tonight I think I'll do 30 minutes on the elliptical, some strength work and maybe floor. I'm tired and disinterested so we'll see how it goes...

For those who are working out -- do you rock out? Whatcha listening to?

Hope this post finds all well and happy~

I love stuff with a good, hard beat when I'm on the treadmill or elliptical. I don't mind what's on when I'm doing circuit training as long as it's not maudlin and/or depressing stuff.

When I'm doing my ab work, I like music with a steady beat, but it doesn't have to be upbeat or fast like I prefer on the treadmill/elliptical.

Examples of artists that I listen to on the treadmill or elliptical are: David Guetta, Britney, Lil Jon, Pitbull, Disturbed, LMFAO, Missy Elliott.

Today, i went for a 2 hour hike with a friend of mine..
We went to the lake and hiked the trails, lots of conversation and lots of laughs.

i, too, love beats when i am working out..
i do love all kinds of music, i have such varied tastes..
but my workouts, hard beats get me moving good!!
(& helps with doing housework too, hehe)

Well I've had quite the active week this week ~ I'm amazed I survived lol but seriously, I wasn't home a complete day this week so I think that's a first step in this whole weight loss thing. So this past Sunday one of my best friends in r/l had me walking for 5 hours around the biggest mall in our city! OMG I have not hurt that badly in awhile but unlike past times I didn't hurt as long as normal. I was at my parent's floral shop 2 days this week and there is no sitting most days, Tuesday I went for a 2 hour walk, Thursday I got in my first workout in a long time and I've also gone for 3 extra walks after dinner with my father. This is literally the most active week I've had in years and I have to admit that it felt really good

Gemme, you and I have a lot of music in common with workouts, I also toss in a lot of Latin music, and some reggaeton. It is also the only time (other than out at a club) that I will listen to techno, the faster, and the harder the better.

Tomorrow is hiking day! I'm ready, sort of. My wrist and heel are feeling better than they have felt in ages. The medical massage was so worth every second of pain

I hope you all enjoy your weekend!
