A Very Busy Mind

Oh haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Good morning, bloggy bloggertons!

Have ya’ll heard the song by Chamillionaire (I think) called “Good Morning” (I think)?  Just thought of it (wonder why).  It goes

I wanna show all of my haters love

This song’s for you

If you had it like me and I was in your shoes

I’d probably hate on me, too

See when you’re gettin’ big cash backs

All the haters hate that

‘Cuz they hate to see ya be successful

I wanna show all of my haters lo-o-ove

So I wave to you, like GOOD MORNIN’ (hay-hay-hay-hay-haytuhs)

It’s actually a great song and a good one to work out to cuz it’s all “Yeah I’m awesome Go me” type stuff.  And the background (the hook, if you will) is Tom Petty’s “Free Fallin’.”  Good stuff.  Go download it.  It’s a good song to come on when you’re struggling to keep pushing it because it’s got that “Eff you, haters, Ima do my thang cuz I love me” message.

Another song I’d recommend: Usher feat. Plies – Hey Daddy (Daddy’s Home).  Oooohhhh my.  That’s all I have to say.  Actually, not really, because I always have more to say.

This song isn’t one of those “Go me” songs…in fact,  it’s entirely inappropriate for working out (and for children), to be honest.  But I lurve it.  It’s my jam at the moment. 

Anywhooozer…I could talk music all day.  But I won’t because I actually have thangs to do.

Dinner

last night was pretty crazy.  (Do you all read that as “Dinner last night was pretty crazy.”?  That’s what I’m going for…)

I don’t think anyone would argue with me that I didn’t go with my cravings.

Bahahahahaaaaa.  Doesn’t that look gross?  Good thing I have a health blog where I encourage others to eat healthfully…and then show pictures of bowls of shit.  Right.  Inspiring, Cass.

This is actually one egg, two egg whites, a little milk, and a heaping tablespoon of nutritional yeast.  I scrambled ‘er up, then popped it in the microwave for four minutes (a little trick I learned from my couster).

Craving #1 – Eggs

yuuuuuuu hu hu hu hum

Craving #2 – Roasted Broccoli

(atop green bizzles)

Craving #3 – K E T C H U P !

Hey, all cravings were fulfilled.  I’m not even mad.

Dessert

cottage chez, honey drizzles, cereal, almonds

pretty standard for me

So, conclusion: I’m just freakin’ hungry.

I’m referring to my recent musings: “I’m subconsciously limiting carbs.”  “I’m subconsciously restricting calories.”  etc.  Although I do still believe I was doing both of those things, I really think the biggest factor in this outta contriz appetite is simply that I’m hungry.

Look, before I ever had issues with food, I had a pretty hefty appetite – especially for my size.  This was during high school, and in high school, I cheered.  (Competitive cheerleading, not just sideline rah rah bullshit stuff.)  I was active, and I ate like an athlete.

Fast forward to today: I workout like a boss.*  I can’t eat like a bird like I did in college and expect to not be hungry. 

Point: I’m just going with this hungry-all-the-time thing.  Apparently, my body needs it…so why fight it or try to figure out what’s causing it?  I’m sure my appetite/hunger will return to normal when my body’s done doin’ its thang anyway.

*******

K I’m out, but I’ll try to do another post today, which is what the (*) was for ^up there.  I think I have a new definition of “boss-like workouts.”

Coming soon!

Question

Are there any songs you workout to that are so NOT conventional workout songs?  I find I choose songs based on all kinds of criteria: awesome lyrics, a sweet beat…even sentimental value.
