Exercise high
The change in my mood is quite incredible. While on the road I felt tired, down, bloated, and weak. I felt like I had stones in my belly and just wanted to escape my body and mind constantly. I made a list of goals for the year, and for the next month while we are in escrow. The main one is "get ripped." I want to feel strong, energetic and pain free. I need some variety and structure to increase my exercise and fitness levels. So I signed up for some classes. I'm taking Ballet 2 and Pilates at the local community college where I first started dancing. I'm in a teacher training course for hula hoop dance/fitness. I started swimming yesterday and running today. I'm in physical therapy, so I have exercises for that too. I'm making progress towards my goals. What really got me in a good mood was hula hooping with a new friend for an hour after running for the first time since the spring. I love endorphins! It's been too long since I've had a regular dose of them. I'm much more optimistic and excited for the future.
