Today's Update:
My mood has definitely improved a little. Thanks to all those great happy neurotransmitters from exercise. Yay! On to Day 2....
From Natural Therapy Pages:
"Endorphins are defined as hormone-like substances that are produced in the brain and function as the body’s natural painkillers. During exercise, these endorphins are released, and this can produce feelings of euphoria and a general state of wellbeing."

Today's task: A Workout
Jillian Michael's 30 day Shred
Level 1 workout from the DVD again. I realized something else about this workout video. It makes me crazy when workout videos show exercises on one side and not the other. Jillian does this during the warmup. I realize that she wants to make it a quick workout, but I don't want to be lopsided. :)
Actual time of the supposed 20 minute workout was 27 minutes. (with all the transitions between moves and segments.)
I do feel better today and this definitely helped. Day 2 done!
By the way, I am also trying to eat healthier by incorporating more fruits and vegetables in my diet. I had a bad habit from my pregnancy and I think I was a bit addicted to sugar. It's just so hard. I really want a cookie. Thankfully, there are none in the house!
