Yesterday I was so stressed out I almost broke. Well, I did break a little. I bought a chocolate bar and a granola bar and ate both. It could have been worse.
Being so stressed without a way to get to the gym drove me crazy.
I couldn’t wait to get to the gym this morning for a workout.
I was up at 6 am and at the gym by 6:45. It was glorious, especially since I had the whole free weights section to myself.
I worked out my upper body and did some cardio.
After my workout when I was changing I decided to stand in front of the bathroom mirror without a shirt to examine my body. This was amazing for a couple reasons: 1) years ago I never, ever thought I would do such a thing because I was so scared of anyone seeing my body that I always hid in stalls to change 2) I didn’t notice it before but my shoulders are looking awesome.
Though my arms still have a good bit of fat hanging around (as does the rest of my body) my arm muscles are starting to really show. I hadn’t noticed how my shoulders were shaping up until this morning but they are starting to look defined. And awesome.
Hey there arms, nice to see you looking better!
I love strength training.
A rather good way to start the morning, no? I’m still stressed about wedding stuff (we are back to having no venue) and money (I’m going broke fast despite having a job) but I’m determined to make today a better day. If I could manage to get a kickboxing class – or just lots of punches – in during the day that would be great. I’ve gotta get rid of some stress in a positive way.
I’m off to have an awesome day. I hope you do too!
