Word of the day:
FETTLE
Noun: A state or condition of fitness or order; state of mind; spirits -- often used in the phrase "in fine fettle."
I am definitely getting into a groove. I've never felt this healthy in my life. I've been pushing myself pretty hard in terms of eating healthy and being much more active. My goal is 15 minutes of activity a day (whether that's a trip to the gym or simply getting off the subway a couple stops early and walking), but I've been trying to get to the gym at least twice a week. This week, I've turned into a machine. I've gone to the gym three days in a row now, and have only missed a day or two in the past week. I wasn't going to go today because I only got 4 hours of sleep last night and needed a nap, but instead I watched last week's episode of Biggest Loser (which I'd missed because I was sick) and that made me think, "What the hell are you doing, Kristin? Get your ass to the gym!" (I'm such a sap, I cry a TON during that show, every episode haha.)
All this work seems to be paying off, finally. On Sunday, I officially hit my first big milestone: I'm down 15 pounds since the beginning of November. Almost a whole pants size. WOO.
What I need now are music suggestions! I like to change up my workout playlist every so often, and it seems like I need to lose some of the stuff that's too familiar and get some new, upbeat jams. These days I've been rocking out to a lot of hair metal. My last playlist was a bunch of pop crap, some of which pissed me off and some of which did not... The one before that was high-energy Foo Fighters songs. It runs the gamut, basically. Here's my current playlist (which I put on shuffle):
Aerosmith - Walk this Way
Aerosmith - Dream On
Alice Cooper - No More Mr. Nice Guy
Alice Cooper - School's Out
Bad Company - Rock and Roll Fantasy
Bad Company - Ready for Love
Black Mountain - Don't Run Our Hearts Around
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Boston - Let Me Take You Home Tonight
Boston - More than a Feeling
Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water
Doobie Brothers - Black Water
ELO - Don't Bring Me Down
Fleetwood Mac - World Turning
Foreigner - Cold As Ice
Guns 'N Roses - Paradise City
Guns 'N Roses - Sweet Child o' Mine
Guns 'N Roses - November Rain
Iggy & the Stooges - Search and Destroy
Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower
Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze
Joan Jett - I Love Rock and Roll
Journey - Don't Stop Believin'
Journey - Wheel in the Sky
Led Zeppelin - Black Dog
Metallica - Enter Sandman
Motley Crue - Same Old Situation
Poison - Talk Dirty to Me
Queen - Killer Queen
Ram Jam - Black Betty
Tesla - Love Song --> I have fallen in love with this song (appropriately enough)
Twisted Sister - We're Not Gonna Take It
Twisted Sister - I Wanna Rock
Van Halen - Runnin' with the Devil
INPUT PLEASE!
