Endorphins are cheaper than morphine

Although my blog is a lot about my life, one huge part of my life I rarely speak about here is fitness/lifestyle/health.

Because I feel like there is far more interesting things I can talk about ( Like : Jealousy and Why I'll never be Beyonce)
Also there are so so many other fitness blogs out there and I don't take gym selfies or feel like I have the right body shape to be taking gym selfies (read more about that here) AND my phone doesn't even have a back camera. 

BUT, this week; those endorphins have got me through, and are still buzzing through my system after this morning's HIIT. 

My exercise routine this week included 4 boxing classes, 3 step classes, one game of mixed netball, 5 games of Scrabble, one pump class, one zumba class, riding about 60km and doing random chin ups. #fitspo #whocares #passthepeanutbutter #regurgatatedmotivationalquote 

Anyway, for me, I need to speed up first in order to slow down.  I get my energy from doing things that energise me, and in turn that keeps the colds and crazy away. I was emotional and pissy - looking at you PMS. Being able to sweat it out was my saviour.

There's been afternoons that I'm falling asleep by 3pm, but by taking 15 mins to power up and kick a ball around for a bit, I'm given another surge to see me through the day.

So, in the risk of loosing some street cred, I'm going to post my list of top fitness things that get me through-

1. It might hurt now, but what really hurts is being unfit in the future.
2. Exercise is something that costs nothing can give you so much joy.
3. Some of my best ideas and creativity come during some kind of cardio session
4. You never regret doing that extra set of push ups
5. I like to use the statement "now excuse me, I've got a rig that needs tidying" and do just that. 

Plus, having exercise in my life means there is also more room and leeway for the other great things, like music, chocolate and beer.
