Outgoing.... Introvert. A real thing.

Some days, I don't know how I function in life... Other days, I get out of bed, I workout, I cook myself breakfast, I get to go to work, I talk to people all day, and not just through snap chat or facebook... and I'm like, whoa look at me go. Reminding myself by that days end, how exhausted my mind is, and realizing it is because I literally socialized all day long. Reverting back to the, some days, I don't know how I function in life. Introvert-  An  introvert  generally prefers solitary activities to interacting with large groups of people. If you would rather work through your feelings in your diary than have a conversation, then you are an  introvert .

I'm even going to register this time. Progress. Side Note::  If you know me, you know I'm all over the board, all the time. If you don't know me, you have probably already stopped reading because you think I'm a nut job. Either way, works for me. Back to my topic. What I'm learning into my first week of training. It's a complete mental process. Which is hard for me. As you read, I'm all over the board. So I go back and forth. Plus commitment is really hard for me. I'm good with a mile run. Heck, even 3. Because my Fitbit challenges are the real deal y'all. True story bro... Just as the regulars in our challenge. So now, I know I'm training for something so much bigger than me. So much more than I'v
