I remember this line in Legally Blond (er, not that I've ever seen it. Okay fine, I've seen it, but only because it comes on TBS like, every day) where Reese Witherspoon is explaining why this woman who taught aerobics couldn't have killed her husband:

Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people don't just go around shooting their husbands.

I started working out three times a week beginning in January (no, it wasn't some lame New Year's resolution) and I have to say, I've noticed a difference in my mood. Especially the day after I exercise. I feel less stressed, and generally more cheerful. However, it could also have something to do with the fact that last semester I had class four nights a week, and this semester I have class one night a week, along with an internet class. And I'm only taking one less unit.

This whole feeling happy thing is great. I've never been a naturally cheerful person. I'm still not, but I'm getting closer. I've always felt like even at my most positive, joyful mood, I'm still levels below most people's most positive, joyful moods. Perhaps, like the Grinch, my heart was two sizes too small. But I'm up at least half a size I'd think. So yay for endorphins! And of course, yay for God who blessed me with a schedule that allows me time to exercise.
