I'm still here!

Hi all!  It's been a long time since I've blogged, I know.  I've been missing it and I've noticed that my brain has been a little "bogged down" without the mental release that blogging provides me.

Unfortunately, this post will not be too cathartic as it has to be a quickie.

I recieved a comment a couple of days ago asking how my training is progressing and where I've been.  I want to let that person know how very much I appreciate they're checking in on me.  Thank you!

To answer this question, I'll tell you this: I have MAJOR change coming down the pipline at lightening speed!  My life has basically been turned upside-down and currently, I am zooming thru some unknown blackhole.  Ummm... yeah, that pretty much describes it.

As far as my training goes, have no fear, I'm still at it!  Actually, I have some happy news to report on the subject of my training that I can't wait to share with you.

I'm planning a post to fill you in on all the details but right now, I have to go.  Life is happening at a ridiculous pace all around me and if I relax for too long, there's gonna be trouble.

Thank you again, to the sweet reader who messaged me.  Your thoughts are appreciated! 

My Theme Song(s)

It's no secret that music moves the soul.  It motivates.  It empowers.  It rocks!

Today FitFluential invited us to share our favorite theme song.  Well... I gotta a few cause cause that's just how I roll. 

Face the Pain by Stemme is my favorite weight lifting song.  When you're throwing weights and putting tears in your muscle fibers, IT HURTS!  It's PAINful.  So each time I hear "No escape can you step to this" I think "Hecks yea I can!"  Plus the beat is ridiculous!  I can't hear it and not work my ass off!  (tee hee!  gotta luv a double negative!)

Face the Pain - Stemme

Face the pain, no escape can you step to this
Face the pain, Face the pain, It's ripping me into pieces
Face the pain, no escape can you step to this
Face the pain, Face the pain, It's ripping me into pieces

Now I gotta show my girl Kelly Clarkson some love too.  Her song, Stronger is my ultimate motivator when I'm doing my HIIT (high intensity interval training).  I have a tendancy to play this one when I have to do pullups too.  It gets me thru just about anything.

So, I have one more song up my sleeve.  It's the song I use for my visulization, my cool downs and sometimes I put it on repeat play and listen to it over and over because it resonates so strongly with me. Came to Win by Nicki Minaj featuring Rhianna.

Do you have a theme song?  What tune plays in your head when you need it most?
