Health Kick? Or just kickin' ass?

So as usual I am about a day late and a dollar short. Everyone read The Help and then a month later I read it and was continually chattering about it. My guess is is their thoughts were... "um yeah where were you a month ago?"  So my second late arrival bandwagon idea is .... brace yourself.... getting fit? No I did not say fat. Although that may have been part of the inspiration. :) I bartered with one of my lovely customers and found myself with a treadmill. The first week I started off walking at what I thought was an incredible rate. The next day.. completely sore. Sheesh I guess it was time! Now I'm up to running and yesterday I ran 3 miles!! Whoo hoo! The secret to success for me is the rediculous music I listen to when I run (or self-help audiobooks that are too embarassing to discuss). That's right on a regular day my music selection is peaceful. I like Corrine Bailey Ray, Bob Marley, Norah Jones, Ingrid Michaelson ect... however when I am out kickin' ass I need more. That is when I unleash my good friends Eminem, Limp Biscuit, and Rob Zombie. I mean you just can't kick ass to harp music.
Which made me think about music and how you need different flavors for different times. People that listen to the same genre 24/7 are simply missin' out. People always think I am kidding when I tell them that before christmas I listen to christmas music all day and then I need to cleanse the pallet at the end of the day with Metallica. Ana and I always wondered why metallica could get away with putting an "oh" at the end of regular words... such as whiskey in the Jar..oh. She could take a Kenney Chesey song and turn it into a metallica song just by adding an "oh". It is comical and entertaining to say the least.
Last fall I joined a line dancing group. After claiming I wanted to for such a long time one night I just got up the gusto and showed up. It has been one of the most fun things I have ever joined. Last tuesday we danced for three hours. We have been trying songs to different dances and this week I insisted we do one of our dances to lose control my missy elliott it was fabulous! It's exercise without the boring part. I'm still a beginner and at times I put myself on a time out and go sit back at the table because I don't always catch on to certain dances right away. (I claim it is because I am left handed and they are right foot dances.. however it could just be a white-girl-can't-dance situation.) For the most part however it is a blast.
The other part of this glorious health kick is that I've decided to get back into vitamins. I did a little internet research and discussed it with my health contious best-friend Molly and now am trying dilligently to choke down those horrible things every day.
So I know it's February and most people get fit in January but I guess as with all things I am dancing to my own beat.
So I'll be out kickin' ass to old rap songs and throwing back vitamins until next time!
