Today I am celebrating sweat. My run this morning was brutal. Really humid and sticky. I used to hate sweating. I think mostly because I knew it was because I was so out of shape. Today as it was running in my eyes and stinging I realize that I actually kind of like working so hard that my body sweats. It is an immediate sign that I am doing the right thing for my body. If I don't sweat it means my body can do more and I need to push a little harder.

    I think I will join you in that one. Today marked 10 days without going to the gym thanks to a rotten cold and work shifts and I did NOT want to go. But I went anyway because, well thats just what I do. And we rowed 5x300m, then did 10 minutes of farmer carries of 20m carrying 2x20kg plates, 5 mins of pushing and pulling a 26kg prowler across the room and finished hitting a tyre with a sledgehammer and OMG I ache like a fnitch. But its a good ache, its been what Ive needed. So yay for sweat

    Im celebrating determination. Ive responded to the stress in my life at the mo by eating loads and stopping working out and gained 7lb and am furious at myself. But Im coming back from it

    Today I celebrate surviving this long weekend. I dropped off my no faux-sweets bandwagon, and had 1.4 pound gain as a result, but thankfully that was about it... Now to rewean myself. Trying to focus on water, and just getting back to reality.

    Awesome, Wendy. I wish I could get back there, but I'm literally in so much limitations right now... I guess I'll celebrate that I can do my physical therapy, and yes, sometimes I end up sweating with it!

    Lise - kudos to you for heading to the gym even though you didn't want to go. And the good ache - I'll second that. This physical therapy is totally kicking my @$$, but it ends up in that mostly good ache. Sorry for the gain...just think of it is as muscle fuel... (hugs)

    I also sweat like a crazy person today! Treadmill pace for 11 minutes then same pace at level 10 incline, then did a few new things in circuit class that are still very challenging after 120lb weight loss. Jumping jacks followed by squats?! Really... Lol.

    But once I'm finally done, it feels good. Great actually. I didn't die. I'm still here. Hey who knows, maybe I'll get a nice booty from it all ;)
