Exercise to feel good? . . . who knew?!

ive come to the conclusion that i feel MUCH better when i am exercising regularly.  since my work schedule is a bit hectic there are 3 guaranteed days that it is impossible for me to work out. well, i shouldnt say impossible but i choose to have at least 3 hours of life on a 12 hour working day.

i havent really exercised since sunday and im noticing something very important.  on days when i exercise, i am way more in tune with my body and its signals.  i can FEEL things more whether its when i am hungry or full, or happy or sad.  this is a good thing because it makes me feel like i am progressing to the point where exercise is done to feel good and not for weight loss.  currently, i am embarrased to say that i still wear a heart rate monitor during exercise, and yes . . . one that tracks calories :(  i know in my head that it still counts with or without the monitor . . . but i am having trouble breaking the habit.

i guess the point is that today i am feeling a little less pep about everything and i think i have cracked the surface on why. exercise actually makes me feel better!

tomorrow i plan on getting plenty so we shall see :)
