Sweat It Out

I once saw a motivational you tube film about a woman's journey through weight loss and in one clip she is running and her supporters were holding a banner that said "sweat is your fat cells crying!"  I love that statement.  In fact, I feel that sweat is more than that.  Sweat is the cathartic physical reaction of your body processing, purging, releasing and recovering!

In my past, when I have been really stressed, i have fed that nervous energy with McDonald's, hoping that the food in my belly would calm the adrenalin and cortisol pumping through my muscles.  Today, I take a different approach.  I sweat.

Today's achievement: 30 minutes of 30:30 intervals on the Jacob's Ladder machine.

Cheers-Tara

  1. Thanx for the education on Jacobs Ladder. Looks like some medieval torture rack to me ,saw something like this in "Mme.Tussaud's (dungeon)".No wonder if it induced "crying"
