Stress relief

[collwen]

I'd been hearing around that exercises helps with stress. I've also not been to the gym in too long, so after work I met up with Marnen and went to the gym (guests are free this month).

I went to the Group Power class that I used to go to. I recognized a number of the people, and one of them said to me afterwards that she had wondered what happened to me. I was smart and went with minimum weights, but gods, I'm sore right now.

But on a better keel emotionally. It feels like some of the stress as been drawn off.

Afterwards, Marnen took me out to dinner at an Italian place we haven't gone to before (Cosimo's) and everything was excellent. The food, the service, the decor, the wine...

I'm more relaxed then I've been in a while.

The gym is excellent for stress relief & remember being sore is a sign of progress.

No pain, no gain.

I know the soreness is a good thing. :)

Excellent job!
It's a good kind of sore, no?
Like other things I can think of.....

I'm even thinking of some of that kind of sore too... wasn't in a place to think about it really. Haven't been feeling sexy for a few days ([sarcasm]I wonder why?[/sarcasm]).

A friend of ours said that being sexy is something that you feel when you're in a good place. I'm still not quite there.
