I worked out yesterday! It was AWESOME! I didn't finish, but I think I did pretty good. I worked out for about 35 minutes, though the last 10 I'd work out, then rest, work out, then rest. But I worked out! And I feel WONDERFUL! On my way home I was SOOO motivated! I wanted to do my hobbies, and workout more often, just SOOO motivated!! I really wanted to get to crafting, but I needed to cook me a dinner, but why not! It's not very often I'm this motivated to do what I WANT to do!
This morning I woke up without an alarm, or my sweet hubby calling me! I had plenty of time to finish my crafts (they had to dry) and to make my lunch, with a couple of extras, AND to even make it by my friends house and drop something off for her. I just feel right, and it's been awhile since I've felt this right! The only times I can remember feeling this in control of everything going on around me, school, work, home, friendships, hobbies, etc., is Junior year (most self-motivated and highest self-esteem I've ever known) and when Richard and I started to become serious and I was in the HIGH of being "In-Love". The euphoria of the first couple of years, that eventually wears off (always does) and you find your relationship is stronger than you EVER knew! Those are the only times, other than now, that I truly felt great about myself, what I was doing, and where I'm going in life. It'd due to working out, and eating healthier. But it's also due to finding a field that I'm truly happy in, that really challenges me mentally, a field that I truly feel motivated and energetic about the next two years in school. All the things I HATE about my classes are just minor annouances simply because I know it's necissary to get where I want to go. Maybe that's the same way I feel about this weight loss as well. All the draw backs, like having to work out and feeling SUPER sore the next day, and time and the patience it takes to eat healthy and eat when you're suppose to, and how you're suppose to just don't bother me as much because I know where I want to go and I know this is necissary to get there. (It helps I have a VERY motivating friend!!!)
Now my pondering mind keeps racing about my next workout and when it will be. Last night I lasted for thirty five minutes which is better than I'd been doing at home, and I obviously can make it to a reasonable point... I guess it's just one of those things I'll just have to suck up and do... LIKE HOMEWORK!! Which is waiting for my attention as I type... off I go.
