I’m totally loving what working out does for my mood! Last three weeks have been extremely stressful for me and no matter what I couldn’t get away from it; I was getting it from every angle. So I did the only thing I could aside from becoming a drunk or pill popper; I worked out - HARD! I spent anywhere from two to five hours working out and/or walking. Now normally I couldn’t afford to expend that amount of time but I figured I had no choice; I needed those freakin endorphins! And it paid off too. I’m happy to announce I’m over that hump and in a damn good mood to boot! Just goes to show yet again how exercise is good for you…

The holiday caught up with me a little so I’m gonna wait til the end of this week to post some progress pics. (Oops!) Why is it so hard to say no on such events? Despite knowing that that Mountain Dew has 170 calories, I still reached for it on our picnic. Damn, now I really have bust my ass!

Holy Crap I’m sore! Been walking/jogging my 5 miles each day and really, really feeling it! I’ve already logged in 20 mile and have 15 more to go this week. But the results put me on cloud nine cuz I’m seeing more definition in my abs and butt! That in turn, motivates me to work out longer and harder with the weights! I love the happy endorphins I get and my hubby loves that I love lifting! I plan on posting a couple progress pics the end of this week/beginning of next; try to show a little more of what I’m talking about… By the way, as an added bonus of walking, I think it’s kinda cool when I get people honking at me (both men & women) as they pass by, letting me know I’m getting there… And no-I’m not flashing anyone to get their attention!
