mood down, exercise, mood up

11/19/2011

I've been in a funk.

actually, i've been a depressive moody bitch. playing the "nothing is good, woe is meeeeee, i fucking hate life!" card a lot lately.

yesterday was the worst. The weather was fucking depressing beyond all hell, work was stressful, i was getting shit on like......
i don't have a good analogy, sadly. I should make one.


anyway! I went to a new gym. I've been meaning to go back for a while, but I haven't really found one that I liked-- and I don't want to commit (6 months) to something that I hate, so I've been putting it off.

Well, I found a new crossfit gym (1 month old) that is closer to work. *YAY!* Yesterday was my first day. The class was 4 people. (talk about getting your personal trainer time!) Most classes are 1-2 people.... 4 was the biggest class they've ever had. (SWEEET!)

Last night I worked hard. Today, I woke up and FELT it. not just was I sore, but I was happier! (I did keep pressing the snooze button, though.... that part didn't change)

Today during lunch I went and holy shit.... am I sore.

BUT! I FEEL GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Full of life, energy, positivity.

Everyone says that exercise does this. I always said "NAH. gtfo. you're lying and just want me to get off my big lazy ass! but it's cold outside, so i'm not gonna!"


I'm glad I found a new gym I'm also glad that even though it snowed/hailed/"graupled" today that I got out there and worked out (hard!)
---------------------------

Today's WOD:
6 rounds of:
8 pushups
suicide
"move shit" (consists of sandbags, 50lb balls, 5 kettle bells of various weights, huge chains)
suicide
4 155lb deadlifts.


I hurt.

and tomorrow I'm running a 4.1 "predictor" race. (the point is that you predict your time before you race. no timing devices/music devices allowed. the 5 people who come closest to their predicted time win a turkey! (cool eh?)
