This week's workout playlist

...aka the "Hillsong United is taking over" post. ;)

Warm-up:

Shawn McDonald - "Better Way" and "Closer"





My big brother has been playing the CD these are on A LOT. As a result, I can't get them out of my head...

Sweat music...

Hillsong United has been dominating my iPod this week. They have a LOT of good power walking/running songs.

Solution (see "I heart." post for a link to that)

Yours Forever



Go




Break Free



Take It All




Cool down

Nova



Take a listen, add them to your own playlist if you like them...

I heart.

So I'm kind of in love with this song...




Artist: Hillsong United
Song: Solution
Album: All of the Above


I've seen these guys live. They really rock it!!! :D I highly recommend their music for workouts or just driving on the highway with the windows rolled down...yeah, it's that good. :)

The title is related to these guys too. Google "I heart revolution". It's a great cause.

Some people try way too hard. Don't be one of those people.

Don't ask. I just felt like posting that. ;)

Post inspired by GML.

If you haven't read Gracie's latest post...oh my goodness, you HAVE to!!


I laughed at #1 and #3, just because that seems to be what guys like to say to me.

"We should go out/hang out sometime!" Sounds good! When? "Oh, I don't know...sometime soon..." Annnnd it's not gonna happen.

"Call/text me sometime!" He's really saying: I'm too lazy/chicken to make the first move myself.

And now...for a few of my own additions to Gracie's list...

"You're like my sister!" Friend-zone. Duly noted.

"I didn't really consider it a date, per se...." Then why did you ask me and then pay for everything, fool?

"Well, other girls I've dated have gone this far with me..." You know I'm TLW, is that going to be a problem? "Nooo...it's just different, that's all...I have to get used to it!" Translation: he has a problem with it and will be gone in 3, 2, 1...

"Hey cutie, what's going on?" It's midnight. It's a weeknight. I'm going to sleep. What do you think is going on?

"I had a few drinks..." You're drunk. And you just drunk texted me. That's no bueno on EVERY level!

What kind of lines have guys tried to throw at you? Any of you have similar experiences to me/Gracie?

The music blog, part 3!

Don't worry, I'm not turning this into a music blog. However, I do love music, and it's an important part of my workout. I have 2 more songs that y'all might like to add to your workout playlists. They're extremely catchy and fun to sing along to!!








Now, on to something not music-related. One of my friends and I decided to hit Target yesterday. We found some GREAT sales on workout gear - C9 by Champion running shorts are running between $10-$15! Of course, we stocked up. If you need workout gear, I'd make a trip over to Target and take advantage of the sales!!

Stuck in my head.

Raise your hand if you thought you'd never like rap/hip-hop music.

*raises hand*

*looks around*

I can't possibly be the only one! Come on now. ;)

Well, if you raised your hand like I did, check out the song below. I heard this a couple weeks ago and I absolutely LOVE it. It's also fantastic to power walk/run to.

Long overdue.

WOW. I definitely meant to post sooner than this. Who knew that a part-time internship would actually make your summer busy?? Ha, ha. I love it though - I'm working with a great bunch of people and learning a lot!!

I added several new songs to my workout playlist, so I'll start off by sharing those:

1. "Like A Lion" - David Crowder Band (this is great for warm-ups!)
2. "Awake and Alive" - Skillet (I love singing along to this one)
3. "Best Kept Secret" - Skillet
4. "Make Your Move" - Third Day
5. "Must Have Done Something Right" - Relient K
6. "Monster" - Skillet (This is what I call "sweat music". Always motivates me to push it a little farther)
7. "Funky Jesus Music" - tobyMac
8. "Cross the Line" - Superchic[k]
9. "Alive" - Superchic[k]

Well, I am off! I'm gonna work out, and then get ready to hang with some of my favorite people tonight!! I'm super excited. :)
