4. The sore feeling from a first workout

When I woke up this morning, my body ached more than it has in quite a while, and at first in my sleepy state I was confused and slightly upset that I was in such pain. But as I walked to the bathroom and my mind slowly woke itself up, I remembered that I had done various ab exercises yesterday and also exercised along to an intense 10-minute video. I quickly went from feeling upset and confused to loving the pain I was currently feeling. There's something wonderful about feeling sore from a workout. It makes you feel like you've accomplished something and that you're headed in the right direction. It makes you excited to work out again so that the next time you'll be slightly less sore and feel even better! It's interesting how feeling sore and aching each time you move can somehow feel good because you know the results will be worth the pain you feel, and the pain is physical evidence that your body is getting stronger =)
