I’m a huge fan of Sheyrl Crow, and she has a new album that is slanted a bit more R&B than her typical stuff. In listening to some samples I found some great upbeat tunes that would lend themselves to motivating us to move. The first is Our Love is Fading, and the second is the old Jackson 5 Tune I want you back. Hopefully our unhealthy relationship with food is fading, and we are looking in the mirror, thinking of the days when we were skinny saying “I want you back.” You can get it back, get on the treadmill, get off the couch, and get moving. Music can help.

(not sure why, but I can’t find the new album in itunes…)

One Kick Away

by Dave on August 27, 2010

I seem to have fallen into a month long pity party for myself. Sure things have not been going my way, my family has head health issues (everyone is fine now), but in the wake of all the dram and hurt feelings, I can’t seem to let go. Throw on top of it all, my gym was closed this week for remodeling. boo…

Each day I wake up and try to do some affirmations, and tell myself that today is the day I get back on track. And for the record, I’m getting closer. But typically I can do that, and go cold turkey. Get right back on track. Not this time, and its frustrating.

It shouldn’t be. I know why. I have been depriving myself of sleep, and in some cases not being able to sleep do to stress.

The one thing I won’t let myself do is quit. Even if I have a bad day, I will continue to try tomorrow and celebrate ANY positive moves. I know I will eventually turn this around.

I had and mini bike when I was growing up, Once it got started it was fast. However, starting it was a pain. You would kick the starter again and again and again. It would sputter and almost start. Then it would eventually kick in, and off you would go.

I know I’m sputtering, but I also know I’m just good kick away from starting and getting back on track.

Here it Goes Again – Workout Tune Tuesday

by Dave on August 24, 2010

This song is just fun. You might know OK Go from their video with the treadmill (which makes them fit into workout tune tuesday). This song is just so darn catchy. It’s got a great beat, a good tempo, and it has the word GOES in the title which is good as you should be the one who is GOing to workout, GOing to ecercise, Going to eat another salad.
