When I work out on the elliptical, spin on the spinning
bikes, or run on the dead-mill I like to watch a TV show. We have a TV in our
workout room at home and there are also TVs on campus or at the YMCA; however, I prefer
to watch my shows the next day or even a few weeks later on my iPad or iPhone
because then I get to skip the commercials. Another nice thing about watching
it on one of my devices is that I can pause the show and finish it the next day.
My favorite shows to watch are: The
Bachelorette, Extreme Weight Loss, Pretty Little Liars and The Biggest Loser.
Then I sometimes watch Netflix and miscellaneous shows from ABC, CBS or NBC.
When I am not watching a show I am listening to music. If I
sit in silence and try to workout I will go NOWHERE. It is no fun for me.
Especially when I am running. I need the music to motivate me and keep my legs
moving.
The songs currently on my ‘workout’ playlist are:

Love this song... So sad I watched the |
absolute all time FAVORITE song |
Each one of these songs help me get through my workout. When the
songs Beautiful and Beautiful Girls come on I just remind myself how beautiful
I am and how I will turn heads. {haha I know it is tacky!} When the song F*ck You comes on I just think of
all of the jerks in this world and I think to myself to forget about them. They
don’t matter and especially not in your workout! I Run For Life, this is a song
about breast cancer. I know a few people who have/ have had breast cancer and
it is about being strong and tough. {Waddup Breast Cancer awareness month. Show some boobie pride!}
The best thing is when I am nearing my run and I can see my
house/ campus, there is two things going through my head: sprint to the finish
line you are almost there {but then I think hell no I have nothing left to
sprint there brain! Chill-out} and my other thought is to start walking and
begin my cool down {but then I think why the heck would I not go to the finish
line, that would just be stupid, right?} Then the song DON’T STOP BELIEVING ~
Journey comes and I literally feel like I could run 3 more miles. It is amazing
what one song can do for you!
“Never give up on a dream just because of the
time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.”
