Well after getting a gym pass I have tried to make it a habit to go to the gym Monday through Friday before or after work. The past week though I wasn't able to go to the gym as much as I would have liked to. Boy did I notice a big change in my mood, I was a little more sluggish, stressed, cranky, and got annoyed easily. Not really understanding why I was so different I finally got some free time on Thursday before work to go to the gym. After I felt so much more relaxed, happy, and stress free. So not only does going to the gym help me physically but it also puts me in a way better mood and works as a stress reliever as well. I have always liked to get a good workout in the past but never put a whole lot of real value in it. Now I think I am going to make working out into my daily routine, I absolutely love what it does for me. I have always heard that exercising realises endorphins and in the wise words of Legally Blonde "Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don't shoot their husbands, they just don't!" Not only does it put me in a better mood but it helps me realive so much stress, one being in the way that I have an hour to just get to listen to my music and think. The second being that I think not only do we have stress in our minds but I think our body carries a lot of stress as well, by working out it lets me get rid of all that stress. Leaving me fully relaxed when I stretch after my workout. I am very thankful that I was given an able body and for the health that I have. It truly is a blessing to be able to do the things that I do, which is why I find it my job to take care of my body to make sure I stay healthy. As sore as I am and as silly as this post may seem, this is why today I am thankful for a gym membership.....and because I look fan-freakin-tastic!
