mind over matter

so yesterday was not a good day for me.  i was feeling really down on myself, and i was in such a fragile mental state that when i was flipping through the channels on the radio, the song Firework by Katy Perry actually caused me to burst into tears.

like i said, i was not doing well.

anyway, the last thing i wanted to do when i was feeling like this was go work out.  but i had an appointment at A.R.T, which i had already paid for, so i went.

the session was hard but i was really proud of myself because even though i hadn't been in for a week, i was making advancements.  we kicked the resistance on the eliptical up a couple notches and i'm doing the exercises with heavier weights and fewer props.

and then it was over and something miraculous had happened, i felt fine.

i'm not gonna exaggerate and say that i wasn't still worried about the things that i was worried about, but i wasn't crying and i just felt more stable.

i guess everybody was right when they said that working out when you're depressed is a lot more likely to turn it around than drinking a bunch and passing out... who knew!

so i guess what i'm trying to say is thanks for turning my day around Christian (and Terri of course), apparently i needed that!
