Workout Victory, and a Mini-Playlist

Just finished a killer workout with EA Sports Active 2 where I tested my, "Don't say anything negative the whole damn time!" plan, which went really, really well. I've gotten into a dumb habit of getting upset and gloomy in the middle of workouts. This has ranged from multiple, "I can't do it!"s to tears to occasionally yelling at Chris for...breathing? But I recognized that habit as one of those things that could probably be easily changed if I just told myself that I was barred from that particular habit. And it worked! I hurt, I had times where I was light-headed or my knees hurt, but I made it, and I didn't look like any more of a goof than absolutely necessary. It felt great. It feels great. This is me. High-fiving myself.

So that's out of the way and it's time to shower, make the bed (I did laundry today!) and go to sleep. My mind's still kind of racing from the workout and I'm winding myself down for the night. That's why I'm blogging and not, you know, doing those things I just said I should be doing.

I've been wanting to share a couple of my favorite feel good/exercise/whatever songs for a while now, and just grabbed their videos from YouTube. Hope they bring a smile to your face, and empower you to do what needs to be done.
