Well, life is such a treat! I have an absolutely wonderful job teaching little third and fourth grade students! Although I love my job, I also love EVERYTHING else about my life too! Being done with my masters has been glorious! I have a husband who has blessed my life immensely. I have loving parents, a great family, adorably sweet nieces and the best friends a girl could ask for. I feel like a new woman this year!
Getting to workout everyday after work and get my workout on with a great community of peeps! To be honest, I love just hanging out at the gym and catching up with everyone! Talking Crossfit or life. You could say that I am addicted, obsessed or even a little neurotic about working out. Though I have found that it just makes me feel good. If you are a runner or have ever gotten a runner's high, then you know what I am talking about! Every single time I work out, I get that same endorphin rush and I just feel incredible! Even as I wipe myself up off the floor I know I have challenged myself, tested how much I can lift, how fast I can be, or just how hard I can push myself. It has taken almost all summer of working out to get back to this place that I used to be (long ago)! I have dealt with some injuries the past year, so I couldn't workout or had to baby my rib. Blah, Blah, Blah! What matters now is that I am back! And in full force! I feel great! Can't be contained! I know I still have a ways to go, but I am so much closer now to my goal, I can taste it!
I didn't want this whole post to go to "Crossfit," or working out! I am sure you get tired of hearing about it, but I didn't realize how my mental outlook had changed so much while being hurt. I am a positive person by nature, but life just didn't have the zest that it used to. I figured out the hard way that stress can do that to you. Especially over a long period of time, I just got their gradually so I didn't notice until I neck deep in quicksand! So to actually workout and "feel" good about it and everything else in my life, I feel like I got my zest back! Thank God teachers have summers off!
