My Favorite Podcasts Today

I really love to listen to podcasts on my ride to and from work, especially as I am so sick of pop music radio again.  I go into waves of hating the radio and I'm on one right now.  I feel like they play the same music over and over again.  For music, I'm a huge fan of Spotify and Pandora, as well as whatever Phoebe downloads when she gets an iTunes gift card, LOL.

Back to talking about podcasts...  I have more that I like than I can ever listen to in a week of commute time, so sometimes I also listen when I'm cleaning the house.  I'd also really like to spend more time with the Coffee Break French podcast, but that would require creating another 20 hours in the week!  Here are my current favorite podcasts:

The Chalene Show - One of the reasons I decided to become a Beachbody coach is that I already listen and follow a lot of Beachbody coaches and trainers.  Her shows are truly wonderful and the topics have been spot on, especially the ones on how to increase focus and find your power hour.



Find Your Tribe - I just started listening to this today.  It's another Chalene Johnson show.  This one is more about tips to build your business.

The Daily Boost - I used to be a paying Motivation to Move Member for the past year and a half.  Then this became free and moved to The Daily Boost podcast.  I really love Scott Smith and his plain spoken, common sense way of talking.  Hopefully, he'll bring back a show with his wife Joi.  She is super fabulous and has lots of knowledge on exercise and nutrition.

The Tim Ferris Show - He's the writer of the 4-Hour Work Week.  I haven't had a chance to listen to this in the past few weeks, but his interviews are usually really good.  I loved his Tony Robbins interview, which came in two parts.

NPR Marketplace - When I listen to the radio, I will listen to NPR for the news.  I don't get to listen to Marketplace anymore as it's radio time is 6:30 PM, when we're smack dab in the middle of dinner time, not driving home from work like I used to when we were pre-kid.  Sometimes in the morning, I'll listen to the prior evening's podcast of Marketplace and I feel like I'm not missing a thing.

America's Test Kitchen, Ted Radio Hour and The Mighty Mommy's Quick and Dirty Tips for Practical Parenting also all appeal to me, but I have less time to listen to them and pick and choose the specific podcast articles that appeal to me.

I also almost forgot a recent downloaded podcast I need to listen to, the Team Beachbody Coach podcast.  I'm looking forward to listening to that regularly as I look to grow this part of my business.

By the way, I listen to podcasts on my old iPod classic that has a ton of space (160GB) to put as much music and podcasts on it.  It works like a champ and I refuse to retire it because it works so well! I have an iPad and an iPhone 5, but I still can't let go of my ancient relic of an iPod!!!

I have a little ipod nano chock-full of songs :) so I keep my iphone lean and mean. I listen and delete all the time but I've just realised I should download to the ipad too, especially those I listen to at home...

The Boys Are Here!!!

I'm trying to post this from the hospital Internet access, but I will be able to do this announcement better justice from home, but it is a very odd, but short birth story. They came so fast and furious there was nothing anyone could do. But the boys are in the NICU and doing well. They were born at 31 weeks 5 days gestation on 5/29/2009. I will post their names and information (no comments on names unless you like them, LOL): Baby A: Thomas Michael III born at 2:09 AM Weight - 3 lbs, 15 1/2 oz Length - 18 inches Baby B: Liam Jonathan born at 2:20 AM Weight - 4 lbs, 1.4 oz Length - 17 1/4 inches long Just a word on their health, Thomas's breathing is doing well and he did not need any help in that area so far. I had two steroid shots from when I was admitted until before they were born, so I think that helped. Liam was intubated and given surfactant when he arrived in the NICU and is now on CPAP, although he can't stand having the tubes in his nose. Both are under t...

IVF#2 - It Worked!!!!

OK all my Internet bloggy friends!!!! I'm pregnant with the best initial beta I've ever had!!! Could that mean multiples? We'll find out over the next week or two for sure. My initial beta was 660! I can't believe it! I'm so excited I want to cry. I was so nervous. I didn't want to test before I went there because of all the hcg boosts I had. And I was really starting to doubt if it would really work out or if I was going to have a major disappointment today. I go back on Thursday for a repeat beta and we'll see if we're doubling or better. Leo made a prediction last night of twins. I wonder if he's right. Of course we just want at least one healthy baby, but healthy boy/girl twins would be like winning the lottery. Of course we'll want to win the lottery to support them, but I'm like Scarlett O'Hara in that perspective - "I'll think about that tomorrow!"
