I woke up this morning refreshed. Well, I was tired and secretly wondered if I could make the world turn back 30 minutes so I could keep sleeping, but otherwise I was refreshed. Since yesterday was one of my 2 'days off' for the week and I did extensive stretching instead - it felt glorious by the way - this morning I could feel my body thanking me for the reprieve. In fact, when I awoke I felt less achy than I have in a while and just generally 'tighter'. If you have worked out before you'll know what I mean - things just seem to move less. Jiggle less. Be in places they shouldn't be...less. I felt svelter.
I stepped on the scale, which I do practically every morning out of habit, and I could tell you that the number hasn't changed much. In fact, I've gone up 1.7 pounds, but who's counting? However, I looked and felt good. I put on a skirt and a cute but slim fitting tank and cardigan and headed to work...and I will shamelessly say that I admired the reflection I saw in every mirror. (and don't lie! You know you always look, too!)
This month has worked out well. It started on the heels of a 30 day-to-fit plan my husband and I were on which, when you're already removing toxins and allergenic foods from your diet, working out lends it self naturally as the next step. So, combined, not only did I look really good today but I never felt the need to indulge in anything I shouldn't be eating.
Recently my husband and I went for a walk, as still had 2 days of working out left. Now I have one. It was a gorgeous evening and the walk was extremely relaxing. There aren't many days like this in they city over the course of the year, and if I hadn't 'had to' workout, we may have missed it and done something nonsensical like sitting on the couch watching tv. So this little kick in the pants helped me enjoy a truly beautiful evening. If this keeps up, I think this month will go by smoothly!
