Today I did a Jillian Micheals video workout after being sick all last week. I missed the high that always comes after a good work out. My body must still be recovering because it felt harder then usual. But I stuck with it and I have been blessed with mellow mommy syndrome ever since. Mellow mommy syndrom is what naturally occurs when I take the time to take care of myself. I am all around happier and life seems easier to deal with. My kids even got to paint a cute little train (subsequently they painted themselves as well) because I just felt nice and calm. Nothing is gonna phase me today.
Sometimes exercise is really hard and I wonder why I am doing it? Then I run faster or longer then I thought I could or I do more reps or lift more weights and I am on a high the rest of the day. While training for a marathon my kids would ask me periodically, "Mom, are you a marathoner?" and when I would respond with a resounding, "Yes I am." I felt powerful and confident. I miss that and can't wait to start running again. Man, just writing this I feel all pump and ready to take on the world.
