Man, you guys have some killer music recommendations! Thank you all so much for weighing in with some of your top choices.
This afternoon I finally sat down, purchased some newbies, and created a brand spankin-new workout playlist.
It’s a mix of new songs, songs from my last playlist, and some super old school songs (thank you, e@thisnotedlife, for reminding me about Ice Cube’s “You Can Do It” – totally an old favorite that makes my boo-tay wanna move!)
I also just HAD to include Train’s new(?) song, “Marry Me” because I think it’s just so incredibly sweet. And ironically enough, I actually listened to it while finishing up the last of my revamping of the Wedding page (finally – WOO!).
The last page to get done was the Decorations & Details page, which includes lots of fun info so be sure to check it out. Technically, I could still revamp the Honeymoon page, so if there’s any extra info you’d like to see added there, just let me know. I can be persuaded to make some edits.

Dinner
Tonight’s dinner just goes to show you that a mediocre dinner the first time around doesn’t mean you can’t make a killer meal with its leftovers!
Despite the fact that last night’s pork chops were pretty “meh,” I was still able to salvage the leftover marinated peaches, which were incorporated into a killer salad.
In the mix:
- Chopped romaine
- Leftover peaches and onions, diced
- Dried cranberries
- Cucumbers
- Goat cheese
- Slivered almonds
- Sunflower seeds
- Chia seeds
Once this creation got a little drizzle of balsamic vinaigrette, it was good to go and by far, a heck of a lot better the second time around! YUM!
Time to go do some relaxing with the boys…g’night everyone!
Question for the Evening:
What meals/foods/dishes do you enjoy better the second time around?
Megan @ Runners New Groove says
LOVE that you have Sir Mix A Lot on here. Not to mention Maroon 5…OMG, anything Adam Levine does is amazing.
laura says

I think soup tasted better leftover! The flavor Really sets in.
Shayla @ The Good Life says
Love your playlist! And love that you got Baby Got Back in there – sweet! :)
I love pizza or casseroles the next day…cold or heated up again, I think it always tastes even better the second time around ;)
colleen laquay urbaniuk @ thegiftofmondays says
for some reason soup always tastes better to me the second time around. good thing soup weather is right around the corner…i can’t WAIT for fall!!!
Kelly says
Pizza…definitely pizza.
Courtney @ The Granola Chronicles says
I love chili the second time around – especially sweet potato & black bean chili. SO good!
Hope says
I find that soup, casseroles or Asian food are awesome as leftovers! I love when dinner gives you enough leftovers to bring to work for lunch! :)
Ashley @ My Food 'N' Fitness Diaries says
I find that spaghetti sauce and chili are always best as leftovers! The longer they sit and marinate, the yummier they taste!
Lindsay@ In Sweetness and In Health says
That looks awesome! I love that you downloaded Baby Got Back haha…I should get that song- it would probably be a great song to have come up on your playlist in the middle of a workout :)
Julie H. of Spinach and Sprinkles says
Oooo, that will keep you pumped for sure!!! I like the ‘Yeah X3’ that reminds me of the yesterdays….. :)
Samantha @ Running and Cupcakes says
Great playlist! Im going to have to copy that one!
I love lasagna leftover – I think because I make it with cottage cheese, when it’s fresh it’s a little runny, but once it’s hardened up and leftover, delicious!
Melissa says
Buckcherry’s Crazy Bitch–LOVE that song for running! I thought I was the only one. :)
Stephanie says
Chilis/soups/stews almost always taste better after a day or two in my opinion!!! :)
Emmarie @ Bananas and Beer says
I’m working on my ipod right now. You’ve got some good ones on there!
Soup gets better, at least I hope tonights dinner gets better when I have it for lunch tomorrow.
Mallory @ It's Only Life says
i agree with a couple of the above responses: soups & stews always taste better the 2nd day/3rd day!
Alaina Johnson says
Just spent way too long looking at your wedding pictures and I absolutely loved loved your favor idea. May be happening at my wedding so do I have to worry about copyright issues? Haha jk!
And your taste in music= phenomenal. Will you come DJ my wedding that will have all of your stolen ideas?
Laury @thefitnessdish says
YES! I haven’t even charged my ipod because my music is so out-dated. I’ve been jamming to Backstreet Boys and Spice Girls and old Britney…throwing in some Old Dirty Bastard and Biggie because I wanted to bring sexy back but even got sick of the old/new playlist. Everything current I totally played out so I needed some new jams!
Yaara says
Great playlist!! I thought I’d also add–for some “ole skool” faves: “push it” by salt n’ pepa; and Madonna’s “Like a Prayer”
Abby @ Abz 'n' Oats says
I think soup and pizza are always better when leftover! I just like my crust to be super crispy so allowing it to almost burn in the oven is my favorite! lol.
Khushboo says
Love how gangsta your playlist it- my kinda girl :D
Colleen @ The Lunchbox Diaries says
I saw Train and Maroon 5 in concert a week ago, and when Train sang Marry Me, they were walking through the audience, and stopped at a certain couple – and the man proposed to his girlfriend! The public proposal isn’t my cup of tea, but it WAS cute, and the song is perfect :)

Katie @ Plates and Paste says
I think ALL meals are great the second time around…that’s the beauty of leftovers!
Ruthie Hart says
oooh might have to borrow this list!!
e@thisnotedlife says
You’re welcome! Always fun to have a throwback tune..the hubs broke out “back that azz up” the other night haha!
Meg @ Maknwaves says
This playlist looks awesome and i have been DYING for some new music! My gym time has been seriously slacking lately and I think a lot of it has to do with how bored I am with my music right now. Can’t wait to try to out on a good long run :)
