Work-out Music and Motivation.

Hey guys, so this is obviously a pretty important part of weightloss is working out and excercising on a regular basis. I've been asked to talk about the music I like to listen to during working out (I'm just going to say working out to save myself from writing both working-out and excercising). So here goes! It might be a tad word vomit but I will get it all out and in time I'll be able to fine-tune it :)

So I've got Spotify installed on my computer and that's what I've got my Work-out play list on. Some of my favourite Work-out songs are;
- Jessie J- Who's Laughing Now.
- Chemical Brothers- Galvanize.
- N-Dubz- Strong Again.
- Survivor- Eye of the Tiger. (Cliche I know)
- David Guetta feat Sia- Titanium.
- Hercules Theme- Zero to Hero.
- Jessie J- Rainbow.
- Bjork- Army of Me.
- Chemical Brothers- Hey Boy, Hey Girl
- Afrojack- No Beef.
- Queen- I want it all/We will rock you.
- Pitbull- Give me Everything.
- Adam Lambert- For your Entertainment.
- Flo Rida feat Sia- Wild Ones.
- Lady GaGa- Born this Way.
- S Club 7- Reach.
- Black Eyed Peas- Rock that Body.
- Avril Lavigne- I Always get what I Want.
- Lady GaGa- Judas.
- Limp Bizkit- Break Stuff.

I'm aware that's a long list but those are the songs that seem to give me infinite energy and stamina when I'm working out. Whether it's running, jogging, jumping jacks, strength training or aerobics. I love all those songs to workout with.

When it comes to how I motivate myself to work out when it's early and I just want to lie in bed, I think about the reasons I should workout and the reasons I started this weightloss. At the end of the day the only person respobsible for your happiness is you. Funny that? I'm losing weight for me, I'm not happy with my body and it's causing my health scares and one day these 'scares' could turn into real genuine problems, and if I'm honest, I've got enough problems to be dealing with mentally! I think about how good I'm going to feel after the work-out, the reward of a cold shower. And then the long term rewards of obviously losing weight! I'll be able to start taking 'during' pictures that I can use for further inspiration. Just remember who you're doing this for and why you're doing it and motivation to work out will be easy. Heck, even if you go for a walk that takes 10 minutes longer than usual it's a step in the right direction!

I'm honestly a great believe in putting your mind to something and suceeding. My Mum has brought me up with that. Therefore it means, if I put my mind to losing weight, put my all into it, I will. And soon enough the results I'll be seeing will be the motivation and inspiration. And I won't need quotes, I won't need pictures of nice clothes, I'll just be loving how good I'm feeling about myself.

This did turn into a word vomit but it's all straight from the heart, everyone that reads this blog, you know me personally, you know I don't bullshit about this stuff.

You just gotta think about number 1 sometimes, and that's what I'm doing. :)

So thank you all for reading this :) Going to post another wee update just after this on things non-related and I'll blog again soon after that!
