Let’s Get Physical!

As  I know I’ve mentioned like 6 billion times, I quit smoking a few months back – and there are tons of positive aspects of doing so: health benefits, saving money, smelling nicer, etc. However, there are also the downsides to quitting (yes, they exist),  such as: losing a vice/outlet for stress and the worst – gaining weight!

Quitting smoking mixed with the stress of graduating caused a lot of junk food binges and just unhealthy eating to the point that in  5 months I gained a lot of weight, (this is sort of expected when you stop satisfying your oral fixation, you replace it with food). If that wasn’t bad enough, I am in a wedding in 2 months and therefore have a bridesmaid dress to fit into! (Yikes!) So, my goal is to lose 20 pounds before the wedding,by eating healthy and through exercise ! *fingers crossed*

Oh, the stress!!

In honor of my new healthy life style, I’ve decided to share my top 5 favorite songs to work out to, as well as the 5 runner ups… So really it’s my top 10… But, yeah. Counting down from 5:

5. Totally Fucked – This is a song from the musical Spring Awakening which is an amazing show! The song has a great beat to work out to! Check it out:

4. Georgia by Alex Day – I tend to write about this youtuber a lot because I think he’s absolutely brilliant. Here’s one of the songs off his latest albums:

3. I’m on a Boat by The Lonely Island – Another song with a great beat, and so funny too! This is a must-see video, so check it out if you haven’t already:

2. Another One Bites the Dust by Queen/Jonathan Groff – This song always gets me up and moving! I love it! Though, I have to admit, I tend to listen to the Glee version by Jonathan Groff more than the original… I’m a total Gleek!

1. And the number one work out song is: For You Entertainment by Adam Lambert – I have this on my playlist 4 times – it’s that good! Such a good beat, and a great voice… What’s not to love?

Quick Update (Before the Proper Post)

First,  I just want to say thank you so much to Jules for the new header! It came out so good and I am so grateful! I absolutely love it! Thanks!!

Now to address some questions: My hand is doing fine, still hurts a bit but less and less each day. I’ll be in the cast (did I mention it’s hot pink? ) for at least 10 days, then a splint for a few months? Very strange healing process I guess!

The collaborative blog is coming together quite nicely, got the right number of people interested, just working out the kinks now! It’s all working out and right in time for me to start my new job!! Yes, I got the job!  Only a part time position, but still, I’m glad to have something! And there’s tons of room for advancement, so I’m really excited!

That’s all for now, I’m working on a proper post that will either be out later today or tomorrow, with a lot of you tube videos so be prepared!
