That moment when....

You are working out hard and you see it start to build.. that bead of sweat that's hanging on your eyelash.. Then out of the corner of your eye you see it fly away, like it's in slow motion, and hit the floor with a big splat..

I know that's kind of weird but I used to be grossed out when I saw sweaty people at the gym with sweat flying off them as they worked out. I also hated how I felt when I'd sweat, if I ever did. Now I love the feeling, knowing that I'm getting in an awesome workout and getting closer to my healthy goals!

    It's a pretty great feeling.. I always know I have had a good workout when I get done and my shirt is completely soaked. It's pretty gross.. but soo worth it..lol

    I'm a jock from way back so sweating to me feels like I've done good workout. For a while I was even gauging how good my workout was depending on soaked my shirt was.

    I love the way people stare in disbelief, that a person would work that hard.

    I used to feel exactly like you did.

    I LOVE feeling the sweat drip down my neck, it lets me know I'm working it :)

    I don't feel like I'm working out until the sweat starts pouring down. It is a great feeling!

    I was running my butt off on the treadmill one day, I stepped off after I was done and went to get some water. Caught a look in the mirror, I was all red-faced and looked like someone had pulled me out of a warzone. One of the trainers (whom I'd never met) came up, grinned, and told me 'Good job'

    So I aim for that look now.

    Speaking of sweat, yesterday I looked like I had just gotten out of the shower. There were beads of sweat on my shoulders. So weird. I am used to sweating when I run. But, I must have been holding on to hella water the night before. I love a good, sweaty workout though.
