how is it possible to not feel happy after a workout?
i worked up a sweat, did it for a considerable amount of time, dont feel tight or happy like i usually do, feel flabby and bloated looking.
:(

    I will feel this way sometimes. Probably just having a bad excercise day and need to either take a day off or eat a little more food.

    I know what you mean, that happens to me sometimes. Perhaps it is something else going on in your life that is not allowing you to be happy about your accomplishments. I find that I need to go into my workouts with a good attitude and know that I am putting forth my best effort possible at the time and try to block everything else out. Don't get discouraged, one bad workout (or attitude after a workout) doesn't need to defeat you. Use it as a motivator to do even better the next time, it can give you something to overcome and push harder.

    Did you push yourself as hard as you usually do?
    If yes, i dunno :/
    If no, maybe that could be why? Although I am no expert...

    More water might help too, but I agree, sometimes it's just like that unfortunately

    We all have them now and again.

    I'm really unhappy today as I couldn't exercise yesterday or today (back injury from overdoing teh rowing), so properly miserable :o(

    Supposed to be rock climbing tomorrow as well :o(

    Are you PMSing? I get that way when I am sometimes. Or it could just be you're having a "fat" day. Sometimes I'll have a day where even though I've lost weight, I still feel really fat and generally blah. Could also depend on what you had to eat yesterday. For instance, yesterday, I felt crappy even though I worked out and ate right, but I had McDonald's for dinner as a cheat meal the day before.
