What's your favorite Beyonce jam?
This has been a great week for me and The Yeyo Diaries!
I started out sharing a very personal post on Monday – and the response of love and support from my friends and readers has been overwhelming. Thank you to all of you!
Then on Wednesday, TYD was featured on #commenthour, which is an online meeting on Twitter where 25 random blogs get featured and thus exposed to hundreds of other bloggers. I’ve got a record 70-something comments (including my replies) on my post from Wednesday (plus – that Facebook status from my husband still has me swooning)! I’m really looking forward to finding a whole new set of blogs to obsess over.
Something un-blog related happened yesterday that sealed the deal for this being a good week. After a week long hiatus from working out (blame cramps, bloating, and cravings…need I say more?) I got back in the gym. My workout yesterday was particularly enhanced because I finally got to use my iPod. For some reason I’m allergic to charging it up, so my babe charged it for me (thanks, hun!) and I took it with me to the gym. Sometimes using it can be a hassle, but this time it was so worth it!
After my warm up I put on some Beyonce and BAM! I was transported to another place (picture – a night club). I was shaking it, grooving, it, and if I could have – dropped down low and the swept the floor wit’ it…but hey, I was on a treadmill! Safety first! LOL
In short – I had a good time. I was mouthing the lyrics to her songs like an extra in a music video! I’m sure I looked a little silly…but who cares? I broke a good sweat and it made my workout go that much faster. It feels good to do good things for your body. Wouldn’t you agree?
Happy Friday and have a fabulous weekend!!!!!!!

I was just thinking of making myself a playlist to workout to. Gotta shed this pregnancy weight & get back into my old clothes. I love just about all Beyonce songs.

Take your time, sweetie! JJ is still an itty-bitty baby!

It DOES feel good to do good things to your body. I love working out and feel so good once my workout is over. And that Beyonce song…. love it! And I love to workout to it too. LOL.
Amber
You’re so right! If feels especially good when you push yourself to workout when you don’t feel up to doing it. You feel good physically and get a confidence boost for ‘getting it done!”

Get Me Bodied does make me move, I also love Upgrade You an I’m feeling Run the World. I know a lot of people don’t like it but the beat is sick! I love it.
Amber
“Run the World” had to grown on me! But I’m looking forward to hearing the complete album.
Gerri
This song for sure, but I’m in love with the Let’s Move version now. I’m gonna learn that routine this summer! I love Bey!
Amber
You should post a vlog of you doing the routine!!!!

Girl! Beyonce can do no wrong in my eyes! She is a staple on my iPod during my workouts. Her music keeps me motivated. Love her! Thanks for sharing the video!
Amber
You know me, girl…always ready to play a good jam! LOL

“but hey, I was on a treadmill! Safety first! LOL” <– Lol. That made me lol for some reason. Glad you had a good week!
Amber
Thanks, JeLisa! I was not about to hurt myself trying to shake my tail-feather and jog at the same time! LOL
