ENERGIZED

Two days ago, I took a much needed day off from working out - after failing to locate a nearby YMCA.  I had to admit that I was not too heartbroken that the YMCA that I visited no longer existed. I made the decision that I would skip a day of exercising. I could not remember the last time I missed a day of working out. I know that I should NOT work out EVERY day - but my addictive/obsessive need to exercise each day is strong. Yesterday which was the day after the day off was a different story. Yesterday I was energized.

This time I visited a YMCA that still does exist. I arrived around 5:15PM.  My original goal was to spend two hours on the elliptical machine. After my two hour workout, I still had some energy - so after a short break, I hopped on the machine again for another hour. And after that third hour - I still had some energy to release and worked out for a fourth hour.  It was close to 10:00PM when I left, and I was the last person in the place as the facility closes at 10:00PM. I found an uninspiring dinner of two pre-wrapped sandwiches at a gas station on the way home.  I ate my dinner and at midnight, I still had some energy within myself to unravel.  I spent two hours until 2:00AM walking in place.  I did not stop that particular activity until I had recorded my 10,000th step.  So, today, Thursday when I awoke, I already have 10,000 steps 'in the bank.'

There are two conclusions to explain that abundance of activity. It might be true that that day off was a much needed respite for my body and that it explains my energy burst on the following day. Another conclusion might be made that I am nuts. I guess a third conclusion could be made that both of those statements are true. Yes, that's it.
