    sweat! LOTS of it in places you never knew you could sweat!
    And the hair thing! I totally get that! I have long hair so pulling out my ponytail holder to take a shower and feeling my hair all gross and sweaty is a nice but nasty feeling!

    My daughter commented to me one day, " mom, that is so gross you have sweat in the shape of a heart on the back of your shirt!"
    Made me smile! THAT was a good workout!

    Oh, and the times I seriously contemplate walking out the garage door, AROUND the house to the front door instead of walking up the flight of stairs from the basement after running on the treadmill.

    How 'bout when you try to sit down and groan like a 100 year old just to realize that NOW you have to get back up??

    I DREAD the walk home. Which is, probably, the hardest part of my routine! Haha!

    When I make grunting noises without caring who is around me.

    When sweat drips in my eyes.

    When I feel like I could almost do it again.

    When I eat super healthy for the rest of the day because I don't want to make my work-out mean nothing.

    DITTO! EXACTLY!

    My muscles are tingling and quivering while I walk to my truck. That is when I know I had a great workout.

    And you STILL push yourself to do it! That is AWESOME.

    Upon completing your work out, what factor(s) determine whether it was good or not. What is it that puts that extra big smile on your face?

    For me, its when I go to brush out my hair. As gross as this may be, if I can wring out sweat from my hair (which is extra thick and heavy), I know it's been a success.

    Mine's kind of like yours - when I burn my eyes with sweat, I know I'm in the zone!

    When I want to do it again... and I have the energy of the Energizer Bunny afterwards... Oh and when I come out looking like a hot (both literally and figuratively) mess.

    Sweat. I very rarely sweat, even when I work out full pelt - but Chalean Extreme is kicking me where it hurts, just the weights have me sweating, I'm dreading the cardio tomorrow.

    When I added weight to the bar
    When I get through a session without pain
    When I get through a session and am as focused when I am done as when I started.

    When I shuffle into the locker room to shower because moving my legs any closer to normal walking is agony.

    When I want to cry when I realize I have to lift my arms to wash my hair.

    When the next logical step is to collapse in a heap at the bottom of the stairs rather than try to climb them upstairs.

    When my husband won't hug me because I'm too sweaty :)

    I can totally agree with that statement about the hair! You have to get up a good sweat! Congrats to you!
