Of course, I am not truly pumping iron, since free weights are not my thing, but I have been working out a lot lately. Almost every day, in fact. That's a big change for me, but it just gets addictive. Even thirty minutes a day makes me feel different, and my body wants to keep it going. I am not really worried about losing weight, because my weight and even my BMI are really healthy. I just wanted to feel better, to tone up, to be stronger. The working out makes me sleep better, my mood is elevated pretty consistently, I have more energy, and I don't crave junk foods as much. Win/win situation, except now on days I don't get to work out, I feel like a total blob. Weird.
At any rate, I have been proud of myself for being open to new things - the new exercise (and new strength that is really noticeable) has made me feel more adventurous with new foods (who knew I like eggplant? I do, now.) and new activities (have been out to hit golf balls and to practice tennis lately, and both were enjoyable). I am visiting one of the aquatic centers in Cobb tomorrow to practice swimming - I want to be able to snorkel in Mexico in three weeks! I CAN swim, but I'm not great at it and have no form. Wes will be helping me, and he's like Michael Phelps in a pool, so I should get better quickly.
Now, if I only had a tan....
