Getting high

I got high last night and I’m still feeling it.  No, no.  Not drugs.  Workout high!!

When I first joined the gym and everything here was new, I got workout highs after most classes.  And definitely after every personal training session.  (This isn’t news to you if you’ve read some of my earlier posts.)

It is an amazing feeling!!  And I didn’t realize I had been missing it until it came back to me last night.

I stopped personal training a few months ago to cut down on expenses I didn’t think I needed.  Also the training was getting less regular since my trainer had increasing conflicts.  I shifted to workout classes only.  They were good but I know I wasn’t putting in everything I had like I used to.

Last night I picked up a personal training session with the instructor who teaches the classes I go to in the mornings.  The man is crazy (like a lot of us at the gym, haha)!  I knew whatever he would have me do would be A.D.D. appropriate, intense, and effective.  And fun.  That’s always a plus.

Oh, yes, he let me have it.  One thing I loved is that he knew what I was capable of and I was determined not to disappoint.  I pretty much collapsed when he said I was done.  But I felt amazing!

I left with shaky arms and wobbly legs.  And a grin that would have brightened the gloomiest of days!  I’m still grinning now!!

I had forgotten how awesome that felt.  And I’m not letting it go.  I told my instructor of some specific goals I have in mind.  So now it’s a matter of figuring out schedules and getting my high on.  :-)  WOOOO HOOOO!!!!!
