Have I ever expressed how much I LOVE endorphins?
I actually think that maybe I shouldn't be driving right after a hard work-out because of the mental euphoria that sets in on the way home. About 2 blocks away from the gym, my head begins to spin in a way that makes me feel so pleasant, and even a bit giddy. (which is odd, since I cannot stand any meds that have done this to me in the past) It makes me wonder if I am a threat on the road!!
Just today, after having an early-morning mental battle on whether I should go or not, ('cause my bed was SO comfy) I ended up going. When I got home, this was what got accomplished in 90 minutes:
- Well, I had to stretch before doing anything else.
- Fed baby girl.
- I made pancakes for the boys.
- I made the bed.
- I did the dishes from last night, since we watched a movie and decided to skip them. (pans and all, by hand...)
- I MADE BREAD!
- And... now I am blogging.
I'd like to thank my endorphins for the crazy boost of energy, as well as the calming high they put me in so I can enjoy my over-active children who literally pounce on my when I get home.
Seriously, why the heck do I talk myself out of going to the gym when I know what I can accomplish when I am "high!!"

It's a nasty battle, I always have it in my brain too. I don't really get it because I really like to work-out when I am in the moment, it's just the getting there that I find hard. BREAD, seriously you need to teach a class on that Linds! I would be the first one to sign-up.
Hey Linds! I totally wish I had the motivation that you do. I struggle to get moving in the morning and sometimes I don't accomplish a thing all day long. I'm so glad you are doing so well with your goals. I have a good 25 lbs to lose to get to my pre-pregnancy weight and it's going to a tough battle. It seems a bit impossible at the moment.
