Has your mood changed since exercising.

I feel left out as I experience no good feelings after working out. I end up with this apprehensive feeling as I'm doing it, and this feeling of, "Aw crap, I have to do this all again tomorrow" after.0

Antidepressant med dosage cut in half since I began my excercise and healthy eating regimen0

Its great isn't it ? Im out walking every day now even though I've always made the excuse that I don't have time. I now find the time every opportunity I can.
"]I've been very motivated to get out and walk at least 2-3 times a week, and work out at least once but hopefully twice, which is far beyond what I had been doing for quite some time. I find it totally therapeutic to put on some good music, my HRM, FitBit, and rack up those steps!
The extra motivation comes from this site, folks like YOU here in the forums , and the INCREDIBLE food database for calorie tracking, which has FAR exceeded my expectations. I used to pay $$ for yearly subscriptions to another calorie tracking site, but I am beyond impressed with the quality of MFP and the resources here. [/quote]

I felt better the first day I started. Very much! I look forward to my swim days!! And I get very cranky when I miss them. I had to miss Tuesday because of knee injury and bronchitis. I let my knee rest over night and said to hell with the bronchitis and went Wednesday and Thursday. I just did not want to skip.0

Oh no. Don't feel left out. Everyone gets something different out of it. How long have you been at it? It was a week or so before I felt good about it. Keep at it. You owe it to yourself xxxxxx

I've been tracking my steps too and doing about 10,000 even if it's just walking in front of the TV to get them! I am sleeping much better since doing this.0
-
Yes I walk whilst watching TV too.0
-
Much much much much less stressed. I actually look forward to the sweat and feel great after!!!!0
-
Yes!! Lifting makes me a much pleasanter person. If I'm a tad crabbit, my daughters send me to lift0
-
Yes! When I'm running 20+ miles a week, my stress levels are way lower and I'm just generally happier. When I'm only running 10 miles a week or less (see: injuries or post-race season slump), I start to get really cranky and negative. Running is most definitely a necessary mood stabilizer for me!0

I have noticed an extreme change in my moods due to exercise. Also, I sleep much better too. It is like my body punishes me with bad sleep if I don't workout.0
-
Yep! I'm not as moody and just feel better in general. I'm finally getting to where I look forward to doing it and feel bad when I slack off.0
-
Running 20 miles pheew just about walking g 4-5 miles.0
-
Absolutely YES! I realized I feel psychologically unhappy if I don't workout every single day, because in the days when I don't workout I tend to binge, therefore I feel guilty and upset with myself. Working out makes me feel SO GOOD.0

Struggled today and lapsed a little :-( back on it tomorrow0
-
YES!! Exercising and losing weight has helped me immensely. I still have bad spells, but I have been able to get off of the 2 meds I hated taking worse than anything, both for anxiety and panic attacks.0
-
Working out is the best medicine and drug0
-
Right now? Dead tired!
Serously, I don't know. I enjoy being outside more, because I have more energy, because everything is easier, because I'm stronger and lighter. Because I spend more time outside, I feel more energized and relaxed as well. I also feel good about myself because I'm doing something positive, and that affects my confidence and mood.
