Waking up early today was like a walk in the park. Unbelievable. I was never a morning riser, although I tried to be one. During weekends were the worst.

Nonetheless, today was different. I managed to drill and motivate myself to exercise, again. I have been out of proportion for 5 years already. Thinking how slimmer I was once before, just make me realize how I crave to be in the dream body, which I once achieved.

I guess that was the motivation the keep me on my toes at 5.30 am in the morning. I am still amazed.

Doing exercise reminds me, of my days in Melbourne. I actually went to the gym twice a day. Everyday before and after classes. Why? The gym was a just block away from my apartment, plus the cold whether just forced me to find an alternative to keep me warm – exercise.

Well, no point on dwelling on the past. Anyways, I did an hour of body sculpting and jumped on to the stair climbing machine right after. Even within the first minute, I could feel the adrenalin rush as if a volcano had just been erupted. Whooaa! At that point of time, all I wanted was to move forward, pumping and pushing myself to the next level. The after effect was amazing. I feel fresh, rejuvenated and replenished physically, mentally and emotionally.

An hour of heart pumping machine, I just felt so awaken not to mention from sleep. Watching sweat rolling from my face, I just felt a sense of satisfaction. I know it could appear disgusting to speak passionately about my sweat but hey it was hard work, pure discipline and determination.

As I drove to work this morning, with the breezy air slapping my face and the lovely sun shining down on me, I just felt so high on life. I will try my level best to make this exercise a daily routine whether rain or shine.
