Walking Playlist (approx 122 BPM)
I’ve found that making a walking playlist of songs that have similar BPMs (beats per minutes) really kicked up my walking speed. I spent WAY TOO MUCH time searching through my iTunes library looking for songs with a similar beat to Pink’s Raise Your Glass, which is slightly faster than I’d walk without a push, but now that I’m done I’m so glad I did it! (I tried to use 2 different programs to help find the BPMs but they were a horrible waste of time.) I eventually found over 4 hours of music that met my needs and broke them up into 4 playlists. Without further ado -
I’m pleased to share my Walking Playlists! I hope someone finds them useful!

~ Moments of Joy ~
Isn’t it wonderful when you ABSOLUTELY enjoy eating something that is ACTUALLY HEALTHY? For me it’s my daily cup of Red Grapefruit Slices. They make me incredibly H*a*P*p*Y! Another such moment of joy is when I treat myself to a Diet Vernors – h*e*a*v*e*n*l*y sigh… (Diet soda/pop is bad for you, I know, but it’s BETTER than regular soda in my book and BETTER is BETTER!) Vernors is made in Michigan and isn’t widely distributed. It is the best Ginger Ale on Earth, though. Really, I jest you not.

If something is important to you, you’ll find a way. If not, you’ll find an excuse.

Fantastic music selections!!
Your quote at the bottom of your post hit me hard today. Sometimes my dissertation feels important to me but lately, I just find excuses. I think I need a reality check on it. And I just need to get it done!
