What just happened?

8/12/13

Woke up today not feeling so great. 
I felt obligated to go to the gym however considering membership, guilt, expectations and all... 

My friend told me about a "pre-workout" powder that she recommended.  It gives  you energy to get through a workout, has vitamins, etc...  I had gotten a sample from my local GNC store.  I drink my green apple flavored mix, which tasted real good and off I go.  

Today was strength training day.  I was concerned that I would hate the burn, would hate the exertion, would have a hard time figuring out the machines, all the excuses that would keep me away from the gym, yet I went with the high hopes that the powder mix would work for me.  

I warmed up and began with the circuit training; upper body, lower body, and all muscle strengthening exercises.  I watched other people before me found the machines easy to use.  I was pretty sure that a degree in physics was not required to make any adjustments.  I am now feeling gooooood.  I am feeling motivated, I am happy to be here, I have energy, I don't want to finish, I want to do more.   
WHAT'S GOING ON???  OMG I'm on drugs.  

I finish my routine, cool down on the treadmill and leave the gym all smiles.  

Today was a good workout day, today is going to be a great day.
