How I Feel

Sorry for the multiple posts, it just doesn't seem right putting all these different topics together in one post. This morning I had a mentor meeting, and we spoke about how I hadn't been to the gym since Friday (whoops), but I know to get back on track today. We were also talking about how days working out vs. days not working out make me feel, and I've actually noticed a difference. Emotionally I'm happier on days I workout, and mentally I can think a lot clearer after working out. And physically, I do feel a lot better about myself and my body always feels lighter, if that makes sense. There's no better feeling than finishing a hard workout.
 But, to contrast that, I feel awful on days I don't work out. Physically I feel sluggish and slow, and emotionally I feel crappy for not getting to the gym that day. Mentally (and maybe this is just me) I sometimes feel foggy, or not all there. I've learned that working out benefits me in multiple ways. It helps me think and learn, and boosts my spirits. I also find that on days I do workout I fall asleep much quicker than on days I don't workout, which is also a motivator to get to the gym because I value my sleep (especially before college). Today I have to workout after I'm done with my shift work because I couldn't make it in the morning, but sometimes I like working out in the late afternoon because then I cook a fairly healthy dinner for myself.
