EFS Day #3 Start Running and Don’t Stop (the music…)(list). HaHa.
For at least an hour! Starving and running…it’s a bad movie line, and yet I did it. Listening to my long playlist for when I have to be occupied for some time. Which made me think…time. Today can be all about time. Long, unending, stretches of time, running in place, staring at the back of some guys head while he’s talking on the phone and riding the exercycle machine. Time? Pointless endeavors? (Word of the Day #1!) Good ideas for a new list. Then I remembered it’s spring! Just turned this morning—lots of songs about spring right? Time and pointlessness can wait 2 more days. Spring forward and enjoy the “Balmy Days Ahead” list:
1. I Can See Clearly Now / Jimmy Cliff
2. Blue Sky / The Allman Brothers Band
3. Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head / B J Thomas
4. Good Morning Starshine / Beverly D’Angelo (Hair Soundtrack)
5. Flower / Moby
6. Fresh Feeling / Eels
7. Rain King / Counting Crows
8. Flowers / Cross Canadian Ragweed
9. You Are My Sunshine / Stine J

Extreme Fat Smashers Day #2: The Hungry Music List
Seriously. Hungry. Not as bad as I thought but still. I missed my snack last night so I could go to bed earlier so I could get up earlier and do my FIRST workout of the day before I did anything else. Double workouts are fun!

New Extreme Fat Smashers! Look here for a new music list!
And by new, I mean today. It’s our first day (me and boyfriend) on Extreme Fat Smash, the diet by Ian K. Smith. We normally live by BFL rules, (Body-For-Life) but we seem to have stalled out a bit. EFS is a 3-week jumpstart and it’s streamlined for carefully regimented food and ALOT of exercise. Thus, the new list—which is actually the old list. As promised, Friday the 13th music on Wednesday the 18th. This is what I used to run 3.6 miles today. Did it outside as opposed to the gym. We live in Chicago and it’s nice weather RIGHT NOW. Who knows for tomorrow. No records are being broken here. Just a nice steady pace. I like to set the list on shuffle. So in no particular order, the “Friday the 18th” List:
1. All We Are / Warlock
2. These Streets / Paolo Nutini
3. Walk Over Me / Dirtie Blonde
4. Super Soaked / Be Your Own Pet
5. My Same / Adele
6. Paper Planes / M.I.A.
7. Poor Nostalgic Me / Long Distance Call
8. I Want You To Know / Riddlin’ Kids
9. That Kind Of Day / Sarah Buxton
10. Man Of Constant Sorrow / Osaka Popstar & The American Legions Of Punk
11. Never Had Nobody Like You (Feat. Zooey Deschanel) / M. Ward
12. Everytime (Feat. Del the Funky Homosapien & Adrian Hartley) / Mike Relm
13. Take Off Your Sunglasses / Ezra Furman & The Harpoons
14. Desolation Row (From “Watchmen”) / My Chemical Romance
15. Head On / Pixies
16. People Who Died / The Jim Carroll Band
17. Goodbye / Save Ferris
18. Elias / Dispatch

Look, Listen. Key of Green
I originally wanted to start this last Friday, the 13 th, with a bunch of songs that I like on this particular day. I spent a good amount of time compiling this (what I think is cool) list. Treadmill music for me and maybe you. Then….nothing. Couldn’t find a place to put it. Until today. But since one more day won’t really matter…I thought I’d go with some special songs just for today instead!
I’ll get to the 13th list on the 18th.
In the meantime, take a look, listen, let me know what you think and what I missed! Here are songs for today in the “Key of Green!”:
1. Colors / Kira Willey
2. Bold as Love / The Pretenders
3. Colorful / Rocco DeLuca and the Burden
4. The Green Manalishi / Judas Priest
5. Greensleeves / Vanessa Carlton
6. Hitchin’ a Ride / Green Day
7. Fairytale of New York / The Pogues
8. Kodachrome / Paul Simon
9. Paradise City / Guns N Roses
10. Karma Chameleon / Culture Club
11. Green-Eyed Lady / Sugarloaf
12. Leaves That Are Green / Simon & Garfunkel
13. Christmas Day / Dido
14. Lake Shore Drive / Aliotta-Haynes-Jeremiah
15. What’s Your Mama’s Name / Tanya Tucker
16. Somewhere Over The Rainbow / Israel Kamakawiwo’ole
(16 is not really “green“, but it’s a good song and ends the list nicely!)
Thanks to Mason and Stevie for helping me with the list!
