I'm an Addict!

I've gone from being a dessert junkie, trying to eat my way through my misery, to becoming a gym junkie. As most of you know I've been seeing a grief counselor to help with some of the things I'm having trouble with. My counselor suggested to me that I need to keep up with going to the gym in order to stay off of antidepressants. Exercise, spicy food, and orgasms produce endorphins and help keep serotonin levels balanced. Dana was so happy when I came home and shared this information with him. Well ladies, it looks like I'll be having a lot of romantic Thai dinners followed by an intimate workout before having an orgasm. Man, the things I'll do to stay off meds.

Just kidding but seriously I have been working out everyday for about 2 hours. Each day I take a weight lifting class or lift/aerobics. After the class I jump on the treadmill or stair master. When I get home from the gym I leash up my dog and roller blade around the neighborhood. I feel so much better (and so does my dog) it's unbelievable. It's a night and day difference. I only hope I can keep it up. So far it has been 2 1/2 weeks. For me, it's not about having a hot body or losing weight but keeping sane. If I end up with a great looking body that's an added bonus but for now I need my mental health. I've also noticed that I don't crave the junk food as much and have limited myself to only having dessert on the weekends. Wish me luck.
