Good morning party people! I hope things are going well for you so far and that you’re not too sleepy this morning.
Coffee always helps, right!?
I’m hoping my big ol’ cup of coffee kicks in soon and energizes me through the indoor cycling class I’ll be teaching as soon as this blog post goes up.
Along with a hot mug of coffee, I also had two waffles topped with a drizzle of maple syrup and pumpkin seeds for breakfast.
And two small clementines and two hard boiled eggs for a punch of protein!
I ate my morning meal while unpacking some amazing goodies I received in the mail yesterday to give to my Girls On The Run team members. We have our practice 5K this afternoon and I wanted to fill goody bags with fun fitness/outdoor-themed gifts to give to the girls after they’re done running.
I’ll be placing everything into bags later this afternoon before the practice 5K and will share everything with you then, but for now I have to head out to teach!
Here is today’s playlist:
Thanks so much to a bunch of you guys out there for your song recommendations! And yes, Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off” made it on my playlist again. I can’t help myself.

william woke up at 4am. today is DEFINITELY a coffee day for me, too!
Taylor Swifts song is perfect for spinning class, I love when we have it in our classes!
it’s just so darn catchy!!! it always makes me happy whenever it comes on and people seem to get into it, so it just keeps popping up on my playlists!
It’s like breakfast on Noah’s ark. LOVE IT
Shake It Off is just a really fun song!
Super diverse mix! If you wanna get really wild, throw in Skrillex-Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites! Weird but cool
I am enjoying your microwave egg white oatmeal as I type this for the first time. So soo good! I need a coffee now too ha1
I really like Taylor Swift’s Blank Spaces – I really just can’t help myself!
I love shake it off for barre! It’s on a couple of the instructors’ playlists at my studio. It’s perfect
It is 8:16 here and I STILL haven’t had a cup of coffee. Dear.Lord.Help.Me.
I went to spin at Flywheel this morning and the instructor played an awesome remix of “Shake It Off”. You have to check it out! If you like the original you’ll love the remix!
Shake it off is so dang catchy. I hear it at least once a day at a the gym (sometimes twice if my regular radio station plays it, too). But it definitely helps you power through a hard workout!
Your Whitney Houston love is contagious. I put “I want to dance with somebody” on my playlist last week. Thanks!
Whitney is the BEST!!
We almost had the same breakfast…haha, but I did not include hard boiled eggs. I’m not a fan of Taylor Swift, but that dang song is so catchy!
That playlist makes me want to take a cycling class right now!
I love that “King of anything” song! So good! also you are totally reminding me that I need to start stocking up on clementines– YUM!
I can officially say that I like Taylor Swift’s song haha. It took me a while, but I’ve finally come around!
Yes to the coffee! I just reheated some of the latte I had from yesterday and I am one happy girl ;). Great playlist!
You can’t help but smile when Shake it Off comes on! I love it!
Taylor Swift’s new songs are my jam! I hope the coffee kicks in and gives you energy for your busy day!
Haha, every day is a coffee day over here. Looks like your playlist will end in an awesome spin class! I’ve only ever been to one but I really want to get back – it was such a great experience!
Now that I’m branching out from teaching only Les Mills pre-choreographed formats and have been creating my own bootcamps, I’ve noticed how hard it is to find really good FAST and INTENSE songs for hard stuff. Thanks for all your playlists.
Your playlists alone make me wish I lived close enough to take a class :D! Have so much fun!
I never would have thought of putting sunflower seeds on waffles. I’ll have to try that.
I need a coffee SO badly right now (even though I realize it’s almost noon) because my toddler was terrible last night. I don’t blame her…molars coming in are no joke! But still, I miss sleep before having a child!! haha
I do feel like that spin playlist would wake me up in a good way though And I’ve never thought to put pumpkin seeds (or any seeds for that matter!) on pancakes. Love that idea!
Coffee with a spoonful of unrefined organic coconut oil!!!
I like shake it off – I can’t help it. Perfect song for spin class!
I LOVE when Shake It Off pops up on my running playlist – it definitely gives me a jolt of energy! haha
Thanks for sharing you playlists! I love them!
I looove Little Big Town!
T-Swift is a must! Especially that song!
I don’t blame you! Shake It Off is always blaring in my car these days. Its just so dag gone catchy.
Hope your class enjoyed “Knock on Wood”! I LOVED that song growing up–I used to dance around the living room singing it at the top of my lungs! Fun song
Love the playlist. I have been adding a few of your songs to my runs and they totally have me pumped!
Taylor always deserves a spot on the playlist!!
Really need a coffee now:) my 3 year old decided he was scared at 2am up to 4 am and then up for the day at 6am:) !!!! I must say some of the snacks you put together I would not even think of, so simple and quick to make, I may have to make more of an effort with snacks,:)
Bang Bang by Jessie J is a great playlist song! I don’t listen to it outside of class but it’s an upbeat, fun song that is the perfect tempo for spin. I’m pretty sure all of the instructors at my gym have played it at least once in their classes.
