Completed A Workout Last Night

Well.  I did it.

Whew.  It was rough.  My chest felt heavy from the cold that has stuck around for 2 weeks, and my head was pounding.  My muscles felt weak, my arms a little like jello, screaming as the little 10 pound weights did rep after rep...I had worked my way up to lifting 20 pounds or more....sigh.....FLASH!  An idea.

I darted off to the bedroom and grabbed my ipod.  Music has always pushed me through things, and I thought...drown out Tony just a bit, and crank up some tunes and WA LA!  Pumped again.  With the music playing a tune that made me want to dance, I pushed on through.  Day one, DONE.  And I tell you, I felt the endorphin release after the workout ended.  I felt a clarity, a lifted fog, a sharpness.

I felt hungry, but not for junk.  I felt happy, excited that I was simply on my way again...I felt motivated, like the image I had in my mind was attainable.  It was ALL good.

...alas....I worked out from 6:30 to 7:30 and was up until 2 am.  Now, this was after having a 2 hour nap yesterday as well when my daughter went to sleep as I have been feeling terrible.  Maybe that was part of it.  I mess up my sleep schedule when I work out late.  Yet, no matter what, working out is a must in my life.  I need it, I enjoy it, and I know what it does for my body, mind and spirit.

Today is Plyo.  This is a tail kicker, and a really really good workout.

I'm pumped!
