A Healthy Addiction...

This week was a strange week. It went seemingly slow, but very fast. Slow because I was ready for Friday on Monday; and fast, because I can't believe Friday afternoon is already here.

I have been on a bit of an exercising frenzy lately. I've been keeping up with Curves three times a week, and dance class once a week; but I, perhaps, went overboard last weekend. I started Saturday with my usual stroll to Marpole, and morning workout. Then Colin and I went for a walk Saturday afternoon. We then went for a swim that evening, and I must have been hopped up on something. I just tore through the pool, completing 30 laps in less than 30 minutes. I thought my arms were going to fall off; and I couldn't have felt better.

I suppose exercising is like many other addictions. I love the way I feel afterwards, and the more you do it, the more you crave that feeling. My favourite post-exercise feeling is after swimming. You're soaking wet and cool from the pool, but you can feel the heat on your body, and the sweat pouring of your forehead - that is such an awesome feeling. At least for me it is.

My weekend exercise marathon was capped off Sunday morning with an hour of hot yoga.

And then it was back to Curves on Monday, a walk on Tuesday, Curves on Wednesday, dance class last night...

I'm taking a break tonight, and heading out for dessert with some of the Croftie crew.... perhaps it's a good thing I have been doing all this exercise.
