Oh, How I Missed Myself!
It was so nice to get back to the gym and my normal routine today. I think holidays are good for reminding me that I truly do love what I do. A few days off from the gym was OK, but I missed it every day. Every single day. The food was great, but it just didn’t make me feel like my healthy food makes me feel.
When I walked into the gym today, I had that “I’m home” feeling! I made the decision to go ahead and take a few days off over the holidays. I think it was good for me. My body just didn’t feel good. It is used to being pushed to the limit, not pushed to the table!
I was sitting at my desk today and noticed a dull ache between my shoulder blades. I had forgotten that feeling. It’s a feeling I used to get a lot…yet I had somehow forgotten about it. I didn’t even realize that regular exercise made an every day ache go away. I felt like my muscles were screaming….urging me to get my booty to the gym and release my work tension!
I had two days of really good food over the holiday. It was all good. Yet…it didn’t make me feel energized and ready to go. It made me feel lethargic and ready to nap. It took the healthy glow from my skin. It made me feel heavy and bloated.
My normal, every day food may not be exciting, but my body does get excited by it! It fuels me to workout and just enjoy my day in general. It makes my skin and hair strong. It leaves me feeling light.
Thanksgiving way great….but boy I’m glad it’s over. I missed me!
