Valentine\u2019s day is this week\u2026does that mean you\u2019re hitting the gym a bit harder, hoping that one more trip to the elliptical will help you get in that outfit you are wearing for your Valentine\u2019s Day celebration?<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow is also Mardi Gras (or Shrove Tuesday, or Paczki Day, depending on where you live.) Maybe it\u2019s your day for pancakes, king cake, paczkis and all those indulgences that you plan to consume without guilt for the next 36 hours.<\/p>\n<p>Man, I love some King Cake. Bring it purple, yellow and green sugar sprinkles!<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday is Ash Wednesday. Maybe working out or doing something physical is part of your Lenten discipline, and you\u2019re trying to not give your body too much of a shock.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the reason, you are here. It\u2019s Monday. You need music. Music for motivation.<\/p>\n<p>I was going to post a few Mardi Gras tunes, but I\u2019m thinking better of that\u2026maybe we\u2019ll get a blog going for that tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>So \u2013 how about this song. Seems like a great motivator to stay on that treadmill for a few more moments so you can indulge a bit tomorrow. Today\u2026get in a solid workout. Or just get your head in the at work for another day.<\/p>\n<p>Cause too much, ain\u2019t enough!
