I have to start somewhere. I am 90 lbs overweight. I'm over 40, 5'1" and have PCOS.

I know how to eat a balanced diet from years of reading, gestational diabetes and many different tries at eating healthy.

I don't know how to exercise. I'm inconsistent, lack motivation and get plain lazy when it comes to an everyday plan of exercising.

I decided I have had enough. Time to tackle that gremlin of consistent exercise and healthy eating.

Music Pacing

 Did one of the cardio machines. Drip, drip, drippity drip. I did sweat! I wonder if it's the amount of people, machines and room temp. I seem to get a lot more sweaty here than the old place I went.

My list of music turned out pretty good. I think I need to get rid of maybe one song, probably Mortal Kombat, It Has Begun, to tighten up the time. I skipped Fight Music For the Fight because I couldn't keep the pace anymore. The list kept me hopping and signaled cool down time like I wanted  when it got to Our Truth. 

I use the headphones not only for the beat time but also to keep the noise of other peoples pace down. If I zone out too much, I find myself falling in with the pace of the machines around me. Not great if the person next to me is in way better shape than myself and running a three minute mile. I'll kill myself! And not finish the workout. God bless the i-pod shuffle. 

Here's my first list, I plan on making some alternative lists for when I get sick of the same old, same old:

Disturbia 3:59 Rihanna
Whine Up (English Version) 3:26 Kat DeLuna
Monsters 4:04 Matchbook Romance
It Has Begun 2:52 Psykosonik
Dragula [Hot Rod Herman Remix] 4:37 Rob Zombie
Intergalactic 3:30 Beastie Boys
Fight Music for the Fight 2:33 Bromheads Jacket
Our Truth 4:03 Lacuna Coil
Don't Upset the Rhythm (Go Baby Go) 3:43 Noisettes


I really loved Go Baby Go as the last song. I might always keep that as my last song. I wanted to stop so badly those last couple of minutes. Having someone in my ears say Go Baby, Go! kept me going through the whole thirty minutes.
