Feelin' Good Day

Don't forget to check out what's new on my Instagram and Pinterest - links are along the right! 

I felt great today - sore, but great. It's days like today that keep me motivated to keep going. I love feeling good about myself, feeling good about my little bits of progress. Most importantly, good days get me excited about have more of them, so I'm already looking forward to my workout tomorrow.

 

I spent the morning fiddling around, recovering from my Monday night class - it runs until 9:00 pm and then I have to make the hour and a half drive back to Galveston, so I was exhausted. Around 12:30 I realized I needed to get my butt to the gym if I was going to get a workout in before yoga (a workout before my workout, my boyfriend says). I think my rushing to the gym made me feel the need to hurry during my workout. Since I stay on the elliptical 30 minutes anyway, this just made me pick up my pace a little bit and work harder, and the proof was in the sweat. It's kinda weird, but I know I'm working hard when I start to sweat around the outside my wrists. I had to keep wiping my wrists on my shirt today because they were so sweaty - TMI, I know!

Caroline and I left for yoga almost as soon as I got home. There was just enough time between the gym and yoga that my legs were really sore once we got into our practice. Lucky for my legs, and unlucky for my arms, we did a lot of planks, so I was able to make it through the practice without too much trouble.

I know it takes time to see and feel changes, but I can already see the mental benefits and mood benefits. I think I'm falling in love with working out all over again!
