My Journey Towards Living My Healthiest & Happiest Life Through Nutrition, Fitness & Mindwork

That Post-Workout Can’t Move-Can’t Breathe-But-Trying-To-Catch-My-Breath-So-Sore-Dripping-In-Sweat-Hair-Up-In-The-Air & All-Over-The-Place-Adrenaline-Rush” Feeling!
Nope, this is most certainly NOT what I look like after my workout.
But I’ll take the way I look post-workout over THIS any day.
There’s just something about that post-workout:
“Can’t move, can’t breathe but trying to catch my breath, so sore, dripping in sweat, hair up in the air & all over the place, adrenaline rush” feeling.
It literally makes me feel like the energizer bunny.
ON TOP OF THE WORLD.
Ready to tackle just about anything.
&
Best of all, like I ACCOMPLISHED something.
For me, every work out is a sign that I kicked anorexia in the butt.
That I told her to peace out & to let me do the things that I LOVE.
The things that make me HAPPY.
The things that make me feel ALIVE.
It’s a sign that I fought my demons with all the fire in my being to have not only the energy, the strength but also the LIFE to be able to get through a workout, let alone, get through another day.
It’s a sign that I finally realized that I was no longer going to let anorexia dictate my life.
That I made the decision to GET OFF the scariest roller coaster of my life MIDWAY because had I let anorexia take me on that ride until the very end, chances are I would not be where I am today.
So yes, I work out.
But I work out more than anything TO FEEL GOOD.
Because of the feeling of ACCOMPLISHMENT it brings to my life,
Because of what it represents.
&
Quite frankly, because a few months ago, I COULD NOT & I DID NOT KNOW if I would ever be able to again.
